 | A Ram temple will be built by a Centre-run trust on the land on which the now-demolished Babri Masjid once stood. An alternative five-acre site will be given to the Sunni Wakf Board for constructing a mosque. |  |  | WHO found that 13 of the 20 cities with worst air quality in 2018 were in India. Let's see what data says. | |  | How India's trade policy establishment is thinking about life after the Prime Minister's decision to not join the trade bloc. The big question, here is that what could be India's next move? Does the nation have enough headroom to not fall into a morass of trade and diplomatic isolation, particularly in the East and the Far East, where members of the new bloc will enjoy easier access? | |  | A new national survey shows 10% of children are at risk of developing diabetes. Policies must focus on getting them to eat right and exercise. In 2016, diabetes was directly responsible for 1.6 million deaths around the world, according to the WHO. The new data comes even as India is struggling with a diabetic population of over 72 million. | |  | Areas inhabited by 36 mn Indians now are at risk, much higher than the five mn expected previously. | |  | Instant Pot was built on familiarity, but allows Indian cooks to do so much more. | |  | When the Ayodhya verdict came, Gogoi wrote himself into history, bringing closure to a 134-year-old dispute. | |  | The Supreme Court judgment on Ayodhya defeats the fake narratives of pseudo-secular voices and resurrects a genuine discourse on the nature and definition of secularism. Unlike in the past, the court this time did not resort to escapism, and quite rightly has earned the respect of both the contesting parties as well as that of the people. | |  | As far as the final order of the five judge bench is concerned, they have concluded that Hindus are entitled to build a Ram temple on the disputed land and Muslims alternatively should be given five acres to build a mosque. In a way, this is appearing to be conciliatory, which should be welcomed by all. | |  | The Ayodhya verdict brings BJP's brand of muscular cultural nationalism back on centre stage. A second wave of civilisational assertion or majoritarian triumphalism is a certainty. The BJP's challenge is to prevent elation, finding expression the way it did after 2014. | |  | Even though we do not have real-time source-based data for air pollution for all affected cities and towns, we know enough to act decisively. Various studies have shown that the key sources that contribute to air pollution in NCR are motorised road transport, dust on roads, construction sites,and polluting industries, said researcher Siddharth Singh. | |  | The Supreme Court, in its verdict pronounced earlier in the day, backed the construction of a Ram temple by a trust at the disputed site in Ayodhya, and ruled that an alternative five-acre plot be allotted for building a mosque in the Hindu holy town. Following the verdict, top ministry officials briefed diplomats of various countries and key allies of India. | |  | The verdict, in favour of building a Ram temple, strengthens the political position of Adityanath ahead of the 2022 state elections, especially as no report of violence was reported across UP on Saturday when this paper went to print. He and his guru, Mahant Avaidyanath, have been champions of the Ram temple movement. | |  | In a resolution passed by the Congress Working Committee chaired by party chief Sonia Gandhi, the Congress also appealed to all parties concerned and all communities to "abide by the secular values and spirit of fraternity enshrined in the Constitution and to maintain peace and harmony". Surjewala said the SC decision cannot be matter of credit or discredit. | |  | It is a moment of history for the Muslims to show magnanimity, open heartedness and work for national reconciliation made possible by the frank and honest recognition by the SC of their moral high ground. If ever there was fear amongst Muslims if post Ayodhya they will still be equal citizens it has been dispelled by the SC by fortifying rule of law. | |  | In an unanimous verdict, the top court cleared the way for the construction of a Ram Temple at the disputed site at Ayodhya, and directed the Centre to allot a 5-acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a mosque. The temple of justice (the apex court) has resolved decades old dispute amicably, Modi said. | | |
