Singh fell from his 14th-floor flat in Noida, with police initially citing his five-year battle with cancer and subsequent depression as contributing factors.

Published: Mar 11 2025, 11 ameznews.inIndia's Home Minister Amit Shah introduced the Immigration and Foreigners Bill, 2025, in Parliament, aiming to modernise and consolidate existing immigration laws. The proposed legislation empowers the government to deny visas on national security grounds, regulate foreign admissions to educational and medical institutions, and redefine the roles of immigration officers. The new law will replace four outdated laws, including those from the British era, and simplify the legal framework governing foreign entry. It mandates that foreigners visiting India for over 180 days must register with the Foreigners Regional Registration Office, while tourists are exempt if their stay does not exceed this duration. The bill also outlines conditions under which foreigners may be deported or granted exemptions. Notably, it emphasizes that entry can be denied based on national security threats, a measure that has previously affected critics of the government, highlighting ongoing concerns about immigration policies in India.
Published: Mar 11 2025, 11 ameznews.inUS President Donald Trump, buoyed by his re-election, views it as a validation of his policies amid a disarrayed Democratic Party. With Republican control over both the House and Senate, and a Supreme Court filled with Trump nominees, the checks and balances of US governance appear weakened. Central to Trump's agenda is the slogan "Make America Great Again," which resonates domestically, especially among the middle class, yet raises questions about why he perceives America as not "great" despite its global dominance. Trump's approach includes imposing tariffs as a means of exerting power, particularly against Mexico, Canada, and China, while disregarding established trade agreements. His rationale, however, is criticized as flawed, particularly regarding India's tariffs, which comply with WTO rules. As India navigates this complex trade landscape, it aims to negotiate a bilateral trade agreement with the US, hoping to mitigate potential tariff escalations that could complicate future discussions.
