‘Maratha Military Landscapes’ get Unesco tag; 44th honour for India; forts highlight strategic strength
Friday, 11 July 2025 () India's 'Maratha Military Landscapes' have earned Unesco World Heritage status, becoming the nation's 44th recognised site. This prestigious recognition, announced in Paris, highlights the Maratha rulers' 17th-19th century military planning and fort architecture. Twelve forts across Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, including Raigad and Gingee, showcase the empire's strategic depth and defence capabilities.
The humanitarian crisis along the Thai-Cambodia border has reached a grim new chapter as over 170,000 civilians flee escalating violence. In a shocking image of desperation, displaced Cambodians were seen fighting over a single boiled egg at a refugee shelter. As Thai artillery shells rain down near disputed temples like Ta Moan Thom and Ta Krabei, thousands of families are left with no food, no shelter, and no certainty.
Cambodian authorities claim to have regained territory, though independent verification is lacking. Hospitals are overwhelmed, soldiers lie untreated, and rural civilians are risking their lives to tend to livestock or recover belongings. Many now shelter in school buildings and makeshift camps, sharing dwindling rice rations. More than 30 people have been confirmed killed, most of them civilians. The echoes of war have not only shaken temples—they’ve shattered livelihoods across an 800km-long frontier that refuses to find peace.

The Thailand-Cambodia border has erupted into deadly violence, with over 130,000 civilians displaced and at least 16 killed as military clashes intensify near the ancient temple cluster of Preah Vihear and Ta Muen Thom. The historic dispute—rooted in colonial-era maps and a 1962 ICJ ruling—has turned the Emerald Triangle into a modern warzone. With F-16s deployed and artillery pounding civilian areas, both nations refuse to de-escalate, risking a broader Southeast Asian war amid rising nationalist fervor and global concern.

Trump’s decision to withdraw the U.S. from UNESCO has sparked backlash, with China accusing Washington of abandoning its global responsibilities. Beijing has pledged continued support for UNESCO and multilateralism, subtly signaling its intent to expand influence within UN agencies. Critics warn this move may allow China to dominate international institutions as the U.S. retreats from global leadership. The Trump administration cited “woke” agendas and bias as reasons, reigniting fears of a broader U.S. disengagement from key international bodies.

In a bold move, President Donald Trump has once again pulled the United States out of UNESCO, citing the agency’s “woke” initiatives, anti-Israel bias, and growing pro-China influence. The White House confirmed that a review of U.S. participation found UNESCO’s policies on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to be inconsistent with American values. Trump’s decision has reignited debate on America’s role in global institutions, with critics warning of a leadership vacuum that could be filled by rivals like China.

Thailand has fiercely rejected Cambodia’s accusation that its military bombed the Preah Vihear Temple—a UNESCO World Heritage site—amid intensifying border clashes. Bangkok calls Phnom Penh’s claims a “distortion of facts” and “politically motivated,” denying any damage to cultural or civilian zones. Cambodia alleges air and artillery strikes caused major destruction, violating international law. The 11th-century temple, long contested, is now a flashpoint fueling nationalist tensions as both sides trade blame and the risk of escalation continues to mount.

Vietnam Boat Accident: A deadly tourist tragedy has struck Vietnam’s famed Ha Long Bay as a boat carrying 48 passengers, including over 20 children, capsized during a sudden and violent thunderstorm. The Wonder Sea Boat was overwhelmed by fierce winds, lightning, and torrential rain, killing at least 37 people and leaving five still missing. The boat had departed during an active weather convergence zone, worsened by three consecutive days of scorching heat, creating a deadly cocktail of atmospheric instability.
Ten survivors were rescued, including a 14-year-old boy trapped in the hull for four hours. Authorities are now investigating potential violations as the nation mourns the loss. Vietnam’s Prime Minister has extended condolences, while rescue teams continue to search the wreckage. The area, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has been struck by previous marine disasters, raising renewed questions about maritime safety protocols amid worsening climate conditions. Storm Wipha is now looming, threatening further chaos.

Seventeen years after the deadly 2008 Malegaon blast rocked Maharashtra, a special NIA court in Mumbai has acquitted all seven accused — including BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur and Lt Col Prasad Purohit — citing lack of concrete evidence. The judgment came just one day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah told the Rajya Sabha that "no Hindu can ever be a terrorist." The court emphasized that terrorism has no religion and that justice cannot be based on public perception or moral bias. This landmark verdict reignites debates on communal narratives, judicial process, and political influence in terror trials.
