US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth joined Marines and Sailors aboard the USS Boxer in Singapore for an early morning training session during his Shangri-La Dialogue visit. Hegseth also met Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing to discuss bilateral defence cooperation.

Political scientist Yogendra Yadav warned that disputes over voter rolls, disenfranchisement claims, hate speech and institutional silence are weakening trust in India’s electoral process, arguing that democracy survives when citizens believe every vote counts equally.

Brampton, Canada: A grocery store reportedly became the stage for loud Hindu slogan chanting by a crowd. Faith is a personal right, but turning commercial spaces into political or religious spectacles abroad damages the reputation of the wider Indian diaspora and undermines civic respect.
