UPDATED: Nov 3, 2025 21:57 IST
US President Donald Trump claimed that Pakistan, China, Russia, and North Korea are conducting secret underground nuclear tests. These assertions have intensified concerns about a new global nuclear arms race, particularly with Russia's launch of the 'Khabarovsk' submarine, designed to carry the 'Poseidon' underwater nuclear drone. US Energy Secretary Chris Wright clarified that the planned American trials are 'non-critical explosions' and not full-scale nuclear detonations. Concurrently, India's strategic posture is evolving, marked by massive Tri-service wargames like 'Thrishul' and a renewed debate on its 'No First Use' nuclear policy concerning Pakistan and China. Lt Gen Manjinder Singh stated that any future 'terrorist attack on our country will be considered an act of war'. The programme also covers unprecedented military exercises, validating 'Operation Sindoor' concepts and testing new made-in-India technology.

Gender segregation, no music rules at 'Islam-friendly' Kerala gym spark row
A major controversy has erupted in Kerala's Palakkad district after a fitness centre announced plans to operate as an Islamic-friendly facility. The proposed model includes strict gender segregation, with separate workout hours and trainers for men and women, alongside a complete ban on loud music. Following widespread online criticism, the initial announcement video was deleted. A subsequent clarification video stated that the fitness centre remains open to individuals of all religious backgrounds and is not restricted to the Muslim community. The initiative aims to accommodate individuals who avoid traditional fitness centres due to religious principles regarding music and mixed-gender environments. Local police authorities have confirmed that no official complaints have been filed against the facility. Administration officials stated that legal action or intervention can only occur if a formal complaint is registered and if the facility's operations are found to violate existing laws. The incident continues to generate debate regarding progressive values and religious accommodations in public spaces.
