Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri Drops Explosive Video, Says, “Forces Want To Ban The Bengal Files Because It Exposes The Truth Of The Hindu Genocide”


Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri is regarded as one of the most courageous filmmakers in Indian cinema, known for his uncompromising truth-telling stories backed by deep research. After impactful films like The Tashkent Files and The Kashmir Files, he is now ready to present another haunting chapter of India’s history with The Bengal Files. Ever since its announcement, the film has been making headlines, surrounded by debates and controversies regarding its powerful visuals and story.


Vivek and his team, however, have clarified that every frame of the film is based on thorough research and historical facts. As the release date draws closer, the filmmaker has now dropped a shocking video revealing the truth about the Hindu genocide in West Bengal, while stating that “Some forces want to ban the film.” At the same time, he has assured that every question about why the film is being made will be answered, with the announcement of advance bookings opening tomorrow.


Sharing the video, he wrote, “Some forces want to ban The Bengal Files. Because it exposes the truth of the Hindu Genocide. But the truth cannot be silenced. Everyone asked me why I made this film. Now, watch it. Advance booking opens tomorrow.”


https://x.com/vivekagnihotri/status/1961738165968142781?t=qapxb36pS_wo5VIFA9hZtQ&s=08


In the video, Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri could be seen revealing shocking details from his extensive research behind The Kashmir Files—why he made it, how the world came to know the truth through it, and how it sparked conversations that led to change. He then draws parallels to The Bengal Files, explaining how the Hindu genocide began with Direct Action Day. Vivek shares that his team traveled to Bengal, interviewing survivors and victims’ families while collecting proofs and evidence to ensure authenticity. 


He highlights how India’s Partition was written on the graves of millions, mostly Hindus, and how this tragic reality became the crux of his film. The video underscores his intent to bring untold stories from history to the big screen. Concluding on a haunting note, Vivek says, “If The Kashmir Files hurt you, The Bengal Files will haunt you.”


The Bengal Files is written by Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri and produced by Abhishek Agarwal and Pallavi Joshi. It stars Mithun Chakraborty, Pallavi Joshi, Anupam Kher, and Darshan Kumar. The film, presented by Tej Narayan Agarwal & I Am Buddha Productions, is part of Vivek’s Files trilogy, which includes The Kashmir Files and The Tashkent Files.

The MoS (Youth Affairs and Sports) also said, Khelo Bharat Niti 2025 is a new start and will play a major role in enabling sports sector to contribute largely towards building a Viksit Bharat by 2047. The Government of India is determined to strengthen the sports sector and is committed towards developing  sports culture, sports infrastructure, and the entire sports ecosystem of the country in a mission mode, stated Union Minister Ms. Khadse. Suggestions and feedback of sportspersons and various stakeholders, right from the block level have been incorporated for the national level framework, she added.

She urged sports sector stakeholders at all levels, right from block, district and state levels, to take up the responsibility of channelizing the power of youth in the country towards sports and thereby support them.

It was shaped through wide-ranging consultations with athletes, federations, administrators, and legal experts, she added. “Our focus was to bring transparency, accountability, and efficiency into sports governance while ensuring that the athlete remains at the centre of every decision. The framework took months of dialogue and careful drafting so that it can serve as a guiding charter for the next generation of sports development in India”, said the MoS. 

On India’s aspirations to be among the top sporting nations by 2047 and the ambition to host the 2036 Olympics, she noted, “The National Sports Governance Act, Khelo Bharat Niti, and existing policies are designed to complement each other. While the Act strengthens governance, Khelo Bharat Niti creates a roadmap for grassroots participation, athlete development, and international competitiveness.

Aashirvaad Atta celebrates Ganesh Chaturthi with a Special Tribute to the Wheat Grain

The brand launched a new campaign “Gehu Gehu Hai Vishesh, Har Gehu Mein Hai Ganesh” a first-of-its-kind celebration combining the festive spirit and tradition


Mumbai, August 30, 2025: ITC’s Aashirvaad Atta has unveiled a first-of-its-kind festive initiative at one of Mumbai’s most iconic Ganesh pandals – Andheri Cha Raja with its special campaign, “Gehu Gehu Hai Vishesh, Har Gehu Mein Hai Ganesh” campaign.  


Through this initiative, Aashirvaad pays a heartfelt tribute to purity and devotion by unveiling a divine marvel: Lord Ganesha engraved on a single grain of pure wheat. For over two decades, Aashirvaad has stood as India’s most trusted atta brand, delivering the finest quality wheat to millions of households. This gesture reflects the brand’s unwavering commitment to shuddhata (purity) and quality.


The centerpiece of the campaign is the Ganesha Creation Zone - a one-of-its-kind experience that brings alive the purity of wheat in a truly devotional way. Here, devotees are invited to create their own vision of Lord Ganesha, with each artwork magnified onto a majestic golden wheat grain installation and personalized with their name. To make the moment memorable, devotees take home  an actual wheat grain engraved with Lord Ganesh, along with prasad and a festive hamper.


Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Anuj Rustagi, Chief Executive - Staples, Foods Division, ITC Ltd, said, “Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with grandeur across Maharashtra, and we wanted to create something deeply memorable for devotees. ‘Gehu Gehu Hai Vishesh, Har Gehu Mein Hai Ganesh’ activity captures the essence that every grain of Aashirvaad wheat is as special as the blessings of Lord Ganesha - pure and of impeccable quality because they are sourced from the right farms. Our recently launched Aashirvaad Chakki Range of Premium Sehori, Sehori, Lokwan and Khapli Atta embodies these values and reflect the unique and superior quality wheat choice of discerning Mumbai homemaker.”


Adding to the festive spirit, popular Marathi television celebrity Spruha Joshi graced the Aashirvaad activation zone, where she experienced the entire initiative alongside devotees. Further elevating the devotional aura, renowned miniature maestro Panna Maheshwari, who has mastered the art of inscribing and illustrating on the tiniest canvases, showcased his rare craft by hand-painting Lord Ganesha on an actual wheat grain - with select grains being shared as keepsakes with eminent personalities and lucky devotees, making this Ganesh Chaturthi celebration truly one of a kind.


Spruha Joshi said, "Ganesh Chaturthi is close to every Mumbikar’s heart, and this beautiful concept perfectly captures how the divine touches every aspect of our lives. I'm honoured to be part of this unique celebration that brings together our rich traditions with Aashirvaad's commitment to quality."


In a move to further solidify this unique initiative, Aashirvaad will attempt to create a record for “Biggest Distribution of Ganesha Idols on Wheat Grains” within the 10-day celebration. The activation zone is open to devotees from August 27 to September 05 2025, from 4pm onwards.

New Delhi, 26 August, 2025: Jakson Engineers Limited, part of the leading energy and infrastructure solutions conglomerate Jakson Group, is investing over ₹8,000 crore to establish a 6 GW Integrated Solar Module, Cell & Wafer plant at Maksi Phase II, Madhya Pradesh. This is the largest solar manufacturing investment in the state, marking a significant milestone for both the company and India’s renewable energy sector.
The mega project will be developed in two phases across a 110-acre site, allocated to the company recently. Commencing site activities within 15 days, the company will commission manufacturing capacity of 3 GW of solar modules and 3 GW of solar cells in Phase I, with an investment of around Rs 2,000 Crore. Phase II will include establishment of 6 GW solar wafers plant along with additional 3 GW modules and cells each, at an investment of over Rs 6,000 crore. The first modules from the plant are expected to roll out by May 2026 followed by Cells in September 2026 supporting India’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
“This is a momentous occasion for our company and a major leap forward for India's renewable energy sector,” said Mr. Sundeep Gupta, Vice Chairman of Jakson Group“Our investment in Maksi is testament to our unwavering commitment to 'Make in India' and directly supports the nation's ambitious clean energy targets. We are confident that with the support of the Madhya Pradesh government, this plant will become a beacon of technological excellence and a catalyst for creating green jobs.”
Mr. Gagan Chanana, Joint Managing Director & CEO of Jakson Solar Modules and Cells, emphasized the strategic importance of the plant, stating, “The global demand for solar energy is soaring. Our fully integrated facility and unique 'four-in-one' business model as a manufacturer, developer, EPC, and O&M provider, aims to contribute to meeting India's energy needs and help position the country as a global solar leader. This allows us to ensure quality, cut costs, and rapidly deploy new technology, boosting our energy security and self-reliance.”
Madhya Pradesh was selected for this landmark project due to its strategic central location, robust infrastructure, investor-friendly ecosystem, and progressive renewable energy policies. The plant will create a positive socio-economic impact in the region by generating over 1,000 jobs during the construction phase and employing around 1,400 people once operational.
Aligned with Hon’ble Prime Minister’s goal of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, this initiative will play a pivotal role in reducing import dependence, strengthening India’s domestic solar ecosystem, and accelerating the country’s transition towards a sustainable, low-carbon future.

From co-stars to legal foes: Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, seen earlier together in multiple films, return once again — but this time on opposing sides


After entertaining audiences together in Jaani Dushman and Bachchan Pandey, Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi are all set to share the screen once again — this time in the much-awaited Jolly LLB 3.


They starred together as part of the same friends’ circle in Jaani Dushman, a horror-action film, while Bachchan Pandey was a full-throttle action comedy — showcasing their versatility as co-stars before this dramatic reunion.


The two actors, both masters of comedy and timing, return not as allies but as rivals, with Akshay reprising his role as Jolly Mishra and Arshad returning as the OG Jolly, Jagdish Tyagi. Their clash inside the courtroom promises a battle of wit, satire, and plenty of fireworks, with Judge Tripathi (Saurabh Shukla) caught right in the middle.


Known for blending humour with hard-hitting truths, the Jolly LLB franchise has built a legacy of smart courtroom dramas that resonate with audiences. With both Jollys now facing off for the very first time, the sequel is shaping up to be the biggest and boldest chapter yet.


Directed by Subhash Kapoor, Jolly LLB 3 brings together nostalgia, sharp writing, and two powerhouse performers, making it one of the most exciting cinematic clashes of the year.

SSO Cancer Hospital Becomes the First in Mumbai to launch AI-Powered Diagnostics for Cancer Care

image.png

Mumbai, Specialty Surgical Oncology (SSO) Cancer Hospital today hosted the SSO Clinician Forum: AI-led Innovation in Cancer Care, bringing together clinicians and healthcare partners to discuss the future of oncology. The event highlighted how technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital tools can transform cancer detection, treatment, and survivorship in India. In a pioneering step for cancer care in Mumbai, SSO Cancer Hospital today announced a strategic partnership with Qure.ai at the SSO Media and Clinician Forum: AI-led Innovation in Cancer Care. The hospital becomes the first in Mumbai to integrate Qure.ai’s AI-powered Incidental Pulmonary Nodule (IPN) detection into its oncology workflows. The tool can systematically detect nodules as small as 6mm on routine chest X-rays, enabling early diagnosis, quicker treatment decisions, and seamless coordination among radiology, pulmonology, and oncology teams.

 

How does this diagnostic tool help? Pulmonary nodules are small spots (growths) in the lungs that are often detected incidentally (by chance) when patients undergo chest X-rays or CT scans for unrelated reasons. Many nodules are harmless, but some can be early-stage lung cancers. Detecting and monitoring these nodules early is important, as lung cancer survival rates dramatically improve when the cancer is caught at stage I compared to later stages such as stage III or IV. Once detected, patients can be guided into a structured care treatment at the earliest by linking them with thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, and oncologists—making diagnosis and treatment faster, and potentially life-saving.

 

Speaking on the partnership, Dr. Sanket Mehta, Surgical Oncologist and founder of SSO Cancer Hospital, said: “At SSO, we have always believed that innovation must serve patients first. By bringing AI diagnostic tools into the SSO ecosystem, we are bringing world-class AI solutions into our cancer care pathways—making diagnosis faster, more accurate, and accessible. This is a critical leap forward in our journey to provide affordable and outcome-driven oncology care in India.”

 

Highlighting the clinical potential, Dr. Jitesh Rajpurohit, Thoracic Surgeon at SSO Cancer Hospital, added: In cancers like lung and esophageal, where every week counts, AI can make the vital difference between early-stage treatment and curability and late-stage palliative care. Incorporating AI into diagnostics and surgical planning allows us to identify disease earlier, personalise patient treatment, and ultimately improve survival rates for our patients.”

 

From a patient-centred perspective, Dr. Vivek Sukumar, Surgical Oncologist, SSO Cancer Hospital, emphasised the balance between technology and empathy: “Technology is an extremely powerful tool, but it must always be utilised with compassion. By combining AI-enabled detection with our multidisciplinary, human-driven care model, we are assuring that patients not only live longer but live better. This partnership is about giving patients both hope and quality of life.”

 

SSO Cancer Hospital is at the forefront of India’s fight against cancer, offering state-of-the-art, organ-specific cancer care that’s both precise and affordable, ensuring that cancer care is a right for everyone and not a privilege for a few. This initiative reflects SSO’s mission to establish India’s foremost organ-specific oncology network, guided by innovation and compassion. Through AI-enabled imaging and diagnostics, SSO aims to detect cancers earlier, guide surgical decision-making with greater accuracy, and improve survival outcomes for patients.

From Tech-Driven Param to Rooted Sundari - Dinesh Vijan Explains Why Sidharth & Janhvi make the ideal pairing

Producer Dinesh Vijan opened up about the thought behind Param Sundari, calling it a story rooted in culture yet strikingly relevant to the youth of today.


“Other than the fact that it’s cross-cultural, Param Sundari deals with a very relevant theme affecting young people right now,” Vijan shared. “Param comes from a place deeply influenced by technology, he’s somebody who really believes in apps.“ 


He further adds, “While our girl - Sundari belongs to a world where tech hasn’t made much of an impact. There are still pockets in India where life is very simple. This dynamic is what excited me to make the film.”


At the heart of Param Sundari lies a very current dilemma - how today’s youth, often over-reliant on apps for everything from ordering food to finding love, may overlook the beauty of more organic, simpler connections. Through Param and Sundari’s contrasting worlds, the film highlights that one must trust their own instincts over everything else. 


Vijan also spoke about the casting of Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor in this romantic comedy. “Sid is such a good-looking boy, but he hasn’t done a rom-com in six years. And Janhvi, while she’s very much like Sundari in spirit, has never played a character like this. It’s very interesting to see these two come together.”


He went on to explain how the film reflects Maddock Films’ larger vision of telling cross-cultural stories that resonate with contemporary audiences. 


With Param Sundari, Vijan promises a film that is as much about laughter and romance as it is about the diverse cultures of India.

Over 1.59 Crore Repatriated Under Special Operations, Govt Highlights Robust Welfare Measures


Mumbai/New Delhi, 22nd August, 2025– In a parliamentary session on 21st August, Congress MP Vivek K. Tankha asked Minister of State Kirti Vardhan Singh whether the government maintains year-wise records of Indians who emigrated and later returned over the past five years. He also sought data on the scale of repatriations under missions such as Vande Bharat, while questioning whether a centralized migration database exists.


Responding to the Query, MoS Singh clarified that the government does not maintain comprehensive migration records, since travellers often do not disclose details of their stay or employment abroad. However, he noted that data is available for Indian workers holding Emigration Check Required (ECR) passports who travel to 18 notified countries through the e-Migrate portal. The migration under this category stood at 94,145 in 2020, rose to 1,32,675 in 2021, and surged to 3,73,426 in 2022 and 3,98,317 in 2023. It dipped to 3,87,067 in 2024, with 2,56,186 recorded up to July 2025. The Minister further highlighted that repatriations under special operations such as the Vande Bharat Mission covered about 1.597 crore people, including Indian citizens, OCI cardholders and some foreign nationals.


BJP MP Baburam Nishad raised a similar question seeking details of mechanisms to assist Indians facing legal or humanitarian crises abroad, particularly in high-risk regions, and asked whether the government intended to review the effectiveness of such interventions.


In his reply, Minister Singh stressed that safeguarding Indians overseas remains a top priority. Indian missions, he said, issue advisories in conflict-prone areas, operate round-the-clock helplines, and launch evacuations when necessary. Indian nationals in distress can reach missions through walk-ins, email, social media, emergency phone lines, or grievance portals such as MADAD and CPGRAMS. Assistance is also extended under the Indian Community Welfare Fund (ICWF), audited regularly by the Comptroller and Auditor General.


To strengthen outreach, missions hold Open Houses and Consular Camps, while Pravasi Bharatiya Sahayata Kendras in Dubai, Riyadh, and Jeddah provide counselling to workers. There are dedicated labour wings in high-migrant destinations that handle employment disputes, and shelter homes in Gulf countries offer temporary accommodation to distressed nationals pending repatriation

Duracell Introduces Innovative range of Lithium Coin Batteries with Bitter coating to help discourage swallowing by toddlers

~ With this new range launch, Duracell puts child safety at the core by offering lithium coin batteries integrating bitter coating with child resistant packaging.

 

 

22 August 2025, India – Duracell, the world’s leading manufacturer of high-performance alkaline batteries, specialty cells, and rechargeables, has launched its new range of  Duracell Lithium Coin Battery in India, available in three sizes — CR2025, CR2016, and CR2032. With this launch, Duracell now also offers bitter coating along with child resistant packaging  into some of its lithium coin batteries, combining trusted performance with a safety-first approach designed for modern households in order to help reducing battery ingestions by young children.

 

Accidental ingestion of button batteries can pose a serious health risk to young children requiring immediate medical attention. These small, shiny batteries are commonly found in household devices, making them easily accessible to curious young children. Despite growing safety concerns, most products available in the Indian market still lack protective features that could reduce the risks.

 

Duracell is addressing this issue head-on with a solution that prioritizes both performance and protection. The range of lithium coin batteries features a safety-first design:

         unique non-toxic bitter coating on the battery surface specifically developed to discourage ingestion with release of bitter taste when in contact with saliva.

         tamper-proof double blister packaging that requires scissors to open, making it virtually impossible for children to access the battery on their own for kids below 6 years.

 

These child safety features are reinforced through visual safety identifiers, such as the “child spitting out” symbol, “bitter coating” label and clear on-pack warnings, enabling parents to instantly recognize the specific range of Lithium coin batteries reaffirming Duracell’s position as a brand that not only provides products which deliver long lasting power but also leads in helping to prevent  accidental child ingestion.

 

Duracell offers two ranges of child-safe lithium coin batteries across CR2032, CR2025, and CR2016

Range with Child-Resistant Packaging – We already started the path of child security by supplying a battery that comes in a tamper-proof double blister pack that can only be opened with scissors. Designed to be difficult for children to access, the packaging is clearly marked with safety warnings and is available across key battery sizes.

Range with Bitter Coating along with Child Resistant packaging – A new innovative range of lithium coin batteries that combines child-resistant packaging with a non-toxic bitter coating on the battery surface itself to discourage swallowing.

Both ranges are suitable for a wide variety of devices including key fobs, small remotes, scales, wearables, sensors, and medical devices like glucometers and thermometers, as well as sports gear and home security systems. With an in-storage guarantee of up to 10 years, it’s a dependable choice for both everyday and essential electronics.

 

Speaking about the new range, Sunil Gadgil, General Manager, Duracell India said, “At Duracell, safety and performance go hand in hand. As a brand trusted by families across the world, we are constantly innovating to meet real-life challenges. The accidental ingestion of lithium coin batteries is a serious concern for parents, and as the number of devices that require lithium coin batteries rises, the child safety risk associated with coin battery ingestion also grows accordingly. Parents/caregivers should ensure that Lithium coin batteries are kept out of reach of young children at all times and battery compartment of devices are safely secure. To prevent children from getting their hands on the Lithium coin batteries out from the packaging, all Duracell Lithium coin batteries are packed in child resistant packaging. For additional layer of defense against accidental lithium coin ingestion, we’ve designed our new Lithium Coin Battery range by pairing a non-toxic bitter layer with tamper-proof packaging. It’s a category defining launch in India’s battery segment — one that reflects our proactive approach to helping consumer safety along with the long-lasting power Duracell is known for.

 

We’re also proudly partnering  with European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP) since 2023 to raise awareness of the dangers related to battery ingestion. The partnership comprises of prevention campaigns for parents, and we are also addressing paediatricians, particularly EAP members, and other health care professionals to improve their knowledge about detection, treatment and cure.

 

Sania Mirza, Indian Former Tennis Player said, “As a parent, the safety of our children is always top of mind. That’s exactly why I’m supporting the #BunnyKids campaign by Duracell— because spreading awareness is the first step towards building safer homes. It’s about being more mindful, more informed, and helping fellow parents take small but significant actions that help keeping  their little ones safe.”

 

The new Duracell Lithium Coin Battery range is currently available exclusively on Amazon India. With a strong focus on child safety, innovative packaging, and trusted performance, Duracell is not just delivering power but leading a safety-first movement in India’s lithium coin battery space. By prioritizing protection in product design, the brand is raising awareness and setting a new benchmark for innovation in the battery industry.

Disclaimer: Duracell Specialty Lithium Coin Batteries should be kept out of reach of children. In case of ingestion, seek immediate medical attention. Always store batteries in a secure location to prevent access by children.
