India will never be a formal ally: United States deputy secretary of state Kurt Campbell - Telegraph India

Today The Hindu Editorial of 1 August 2024 For UPSC & Other Govt. Exams
It aimed to enhance global pandemic preparedness, establish prevention mechanisms, and address inequities. The assembly extended the mandate of the intergovernmental negotiating body (INB) responsible for the Pandemic Agreement, aiming for completion by the 78th WHA in May 2025 or earlier. Skilled diplomacy and political will are needed for a safer and fairer global health system. The lack of consensus on this issue remains a major obstacle to the adoption of the Pandemic Agreement. The recent amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) and the ongoing negotiations demonstrate unprecedented strides in international law.

The faith factor: Religion has played a big part in Trump’s rise, although he is not religious himself - Telegraph India
But then Biden quit, and suddenly, Trump is the old, white guy, up against an opponent who’s 20 years younger. ADVERTISEMENTReligion has played a big part in Trump’s rise, although he is not religious himself. These Protestant, ‘evangelical’ Christians have taken to calling themselves Christian nationalists, and they can be counted on to vote Republican no matter what. The numbers tell the tale: 87% of Americans who identified as Republicans in a survey last year said they believe in god. If younger Americans vote in large numbers, his fake religiosity is political poison.

Darjeeling civic body to levy tax on tourists despite widespread opposition from tourism stakeholders
The civic body also floated a tender with a base price of ₹25 lakh for collecting the amounts from tourists. If the civic body collects the taxes directly without involving hotels, we are fine,” a hotelier had said. Hoteliers had said they would have no problems if the civic body collected the taxes at entry points. Following the opposition, Anit Thapa, the chief executive of the Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA), directed the civic body to shelve the plan. Darjeeling civic chairman Dipendra Thakuri admitted that the municipality was planning to relaunch the tourist tax.
