India’s Economic Journey in Focus as PM Modi Engages Malaysian Business Leaders!

India’s Economic Journey in Focus as PM Modi Engages Malaysian Business Leaders!

Politics

What’s Happening?

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently met with some of the top business leaders in Malaysia to talk about trade, economic growth, and future partnerships. The event brought together executives from major companies who are already investing in India’s economy or considering new opportunities there. 

In his remarks, PM Modi praised their role in India’s growth story, noting that businesses big and small have helped create jobs, strengthen technology industries, and make products that compete globally. The meeting highlighted how countries are working together not just through government diplomacy but also through private sector collaboration, which helps create stronger economies and closer ties between India and Malaysia.

Why is it Important?

This matters because such meetings help shape international economic relationships and business leaders often play a big role in decisions about investing money, opening factories, building tech hubs, and creating jobs. 

When a prime minister speaks directly with global executives, it signals confidence in the country’s economic direction and invites more foreign companies to participate in growth opportunities. It’s a reminder that economics isn’t just numbers, it’s about people working together across borders, building technologies, creating jobs, and figuring out how nations can grow stronger together.

South Africa Sets Big Total in Tight T20 World Cup Clash vs Afghanistan

South Africa Sets Big Total in Tight T20 World Cup Clash vs Afghanistan

Sports

What’s Happening?

In one of the most exciting matches of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, South Africa and Afghanistan played out an absolute cricket classic at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. South Africa posted a big total of 187 runs for 6 wickets after choosing to bat first, thanks to powerful half-centuries from Quinton de Kock (59) and Ryan Rickelton (61) that helped build a strong score. 

Afghanistan’s chase didn’t go quietly Rahmanullah Gurbaz hit a fantastic 84 runs, bringing his team back into the game and matching South Africa’s total by the end of 20 overs. That meant extra time, not just one Super Over, but a second Super Over before South Africa finally held their nerve and sealed a dramatic victory.

Why is it Important?

This match matters because it showed just how unpredictable and thrilling T20 cricket can be. It’s rare for a game to go to a second Super Over, and this finish will go down as one of the more dramatic moments in the 2026 World Cup so far. 

Afghanistan put up a huge fight, led by Gurbaz’s brilliant innings, and South Africa’s strong batting gave them the total they needed to stay competitive throughout. Performances in matches like this can influence group standings, team confidence, and momentum going into the later stages of the tournament.

Why We Celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science?

Why We Celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science?

Science

What’s Happening?

Every year on February 11, the world celebrates the UNESCO International Day of Women and Girls in Science, a special day dedicated to recognizing the amazing contributions women and girls make in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The day highlights inspiring achievements, encourages young women to pursue science careers, and draws attention to the fact that, historically, girls have been underrepresented in many scientific fields. 

To mark this year’s theme, institutions like IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) and IISc (Indian Institute of Science) hosted talks, science fairs, and activities that showcase the talents of women researchers and students. 

Why is it Important?

This matters because science shapes the world we live in from health and climate solutions to technology and space discoveries and diverse voices make science better. When girls and young women are supported to pursue STEM, they bring new ideas, fresh perspectives, and untapped talent to solving major challenges. 

Yet, women are still underrepresented in many scientific careers and classrooms around the globe. UNESCO’s day helps highlight those barriers and celebrate breakthroughs, while reminding schools, governments, and communities why equal opportunities in science matter.

Archaeologists Unearth Ancient City Built by Alexander the Great’s Army

Archaeologists Unearth Ancient City Built by Alexander the Great’s Army

History

What’s Happening?

A group of archaeologists has uncovered what many historians have long dreamed of, evidence of “Alexandria on the Tigris,” a city reportedly founded more than 2,300 years ago by Alexander the Great during his conquests across Asia. Alexander and his army marched through parts of the Middle East, and along the way they founded multiple cities named “Alexandria.” 

This newly rediscovered site lies near the Tigris River, and researchers found ruins, pottery, walls, and other ancient remains buried under centuries of soil and sand. The site had been hidden and mostly forgotten over time, but modern surveys and careful excavation have now brought these clues back into the light giving historians a rare look into the spread of cultures and cities during ancient times.

Why is it Important?

This matters because Alexander the Great’s campaigns changed the course of history: not just through battles, but by spreading ideas, language, architecture, and city-building techniques across continents from Europe to Asia. Finding a city he founded helps historians better understand how ancient people lived, traded, and connected with each other thousands of years ago. 

It also sheds light on how cultures mixed, how cities grew, and how important rivers like the Tigris were to ancient settlements.
