  • Northern residents, lacking this extra day, needed a similar break​​.
  • In response, the Tasmanian government introduced the “First Monday in November” holiday in 1919.

Priyanka says Modi aims to hold on to power at any cost

  • Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Congress leader and United Democratic Front (UDF) candidate in the Wayanad Lok Sabha constituency, launched a scathing attack on the Narendra Modi-led Union government on Sunday at Mananthavady in the district, accusing it of prioritising the interests of big businesses over welfare of the people.
  • Addressing a public meeting here, she said that Mr. Modi sought to cling on to power by sowing division, inciting hatred and undermining democratic institutions. “Modi ji’s government operates solely for his wealthy business allies. Their goal is not to enhance your quality of life, create jobs or improve health and education. It is merely to maintain power by dividing people, fostering anger, and stripping away your rights.”

Kashmiri women sail past social, financial constraints in pursuit of boat racing dreams

  • Mist engulfed the Dal Lake in Jammu and Kashmir’s summer capital, Srinagar, on the last Sunday of October. For most of the day, the autumn sun struggled to shine over the lake that is central to life here. The still waters then slowly gave way to ripples, turning into short waves. Soon, 75 shikaras, Kashmir’s traditional boats, each 15 feet long with narrow pointed ends, swarmed the lake for a rare all-woman boat race.
  • They were ‘driven’ by 150 women, mostly from families living near the lake, with dreams in their eyes and a determination to win. Many were trained, some were not. They donned salwar-kurtas or jeans and tops; none wore gear for a water sport as they couldn’t afford it.
