Rahul Gandhi Reflects on Congress' 1980s Mistakes

In a recent exchange at Brown University, Rahul Gandhi addressed concerns regarding the Congress party's involvement in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and Operation Blue Star, acknowledging past "mistakes" while clarifying that he was not part of the party during that era. Responding to a Sikh man's critique about the Congress's failure to reconcile with the Sikh community, Gandhi stated he is willing to accept responsibility for the party's historical wrongs. He emphasized his commitment to religious freedom and his positive relationships with the Sikh community, having publicly condemned the violence of the 1980s. The conversation highlighted ongoing tensions surrounding the Congress's legacy, particularly in light of the BJP's critiques, with senior BJP leader Amit Malviya noting Gandhi's recent international ridicule over the issue. The 1984 riots, which resulted in thousands of Sikh deaths, remain a contentious topic in Indian politics. sources

Minister Discusses CBSE Move: Chocolate Age Failure

Tamil Nadu Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi has strongly criticized the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for its handling of Class 5 and 8 students under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, labeling the approach as "anti-education." He urged parents to contest the CBSE's decision, which includes collecting consent forms from parents of underperforming students, warning that it could lead to increased dropout rates and mental stress among children. Poyyamozhi highlighted that Tamil Nadu's no-failure policy until Class 8 aims to prevent stigma and pressure on young learners. He also condemned the NEP for potentially reversing decades of progress in educational access, particularly for marginalized communities, and reiterated the state's opposition to the NEP's three-language policy, which he claims undermines regional languages. The state government has further accused the Centre of withholding funds related to the Samagra Shiksha programme due to its rejection of the NEP. sources

Indian Astronaut's Mission May Transform Space Travel for Diabetics

Indian astronaut Group Captain Shubanshu Shukla is set to embark on the Axiom-4 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) on May 29, where he will conduct a pivotal diabetes research experiment known as the "Suite Ride." This initiative aims to explore the feasibility of including astronauts with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in future space missions, a condition previously considered disqualifying. During the two-week mission, the crew will wear continuous glucose monitors to assess blood glucose fluctuations in microgravity. Burjeel Holdings, the project leader, highlights the potential for this research to improve diabetes management in remote areas on Earth. Following a successful demonstration on the Galactic 07 mission, this study will validate glucose monitoring technologies and insulin viability in space. Experts believe the findings could revolutionize diabetes care, offering insights that benefit underserved populations globally. sources
