Unesco tag for Maratha forts, Marathi classical language status sharpen focus on Marathi pride

IndiaTimes Sunday, 13 July 2025
Unesco's recognition of Maratha military sites and the classical language status granted to Marathi highlight the central government's focus on Maratha heritage, especially as Maharashtra prepares for local elections. These actions, including the Navy's ensign redesign inspired by Shivaji, are seen as strategic moves by the BJP to connect with Marathi voters and strengthen its position in the state.

Prashant Kishor SLAMS Raj Thackeray For Anti-Bihari Remark, Dares BJP-Congress Over Language Silence [Video]

Prashant Kishor SLAMS Raj Thackeray For Anti-Bihari Remark, Dares BJP-Congress Over Language Silence

Prashant Kishor has launched a blistering attack on Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray after his controversial “slap those who don’t speak Marathi” remark. Calling Thackeray a “lumpen element” hiding in Mumbai while targeting poor migrants, Kishor slammed both BJP and Congress for their deafening silence on the issue. In a scathing rebuttal, Kishor reminded Thackeray that Maharashtra doesn’t belong to his father and warned against making heroes out of violent politics. Kishor also exposed the political convenience behind this rhetoric — just ahead of the BMC elections. He demanded Tejashwi Yadav and opposition leaders break their silence and stand up for Hindi-speaking migrants. The issue is rapidly snowb@lling into a national flashpoint on regional identity, governance, and electoral desperation. #PrashantKishor #RajThackeray #LanguageRow #BMC2025 #MNS #HindiSpeakers #BJP #Congress #TejashwiYadav #ShivSena #UddhavThackeray #MarathiPolitics #BihariMigrants #MumbaiPolitics #RegionalismDebate #PoliticalViolence #Elections2025 #MigrantRights #IndiaPolitics #PKSlamsRaj Also Read Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: Prashant Kishor Promises Rs 2000 To Every Senior Citizen :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bihar-assembly-elections-2025-prashant-kishor-promises-rs-2000-to-every-senior-citizen-7787469.html?ref=DMDesc Spend One Night In Village: Prashant Kishor Challenges Rahul Gandhi's Commitment To Bihar :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/spend-one-night-in-village-prashant-kishor-challenges-rahul-gandhis-commitment-to-bihar-011-7783959.html?ref=DMDesc Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party Gets 'School Bag' Election Symbol :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/prashant-kishors-jan-suraaj-party-gets-school-bag-symbol-election-symbol-7783181.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~

VIDEO: Cambodian Refugees Fight For Single Egg | 100k+ Flee | Thailand-Cambodia Conflict Latest

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. #Cambodia #Thailand #BorderWar #RefugeeCrisis #TempleConflict #HumanitarianCrisis #TaMoan #TaKrabei #OddarMeanchey #Surin #Gaza #WarZone #UNESCO #ThaiArtillery #FoodShortage #CrisisRelief #SouthEastAsia #MilitaryClashes #CiviliansInCrisis #BreakingNews ~ED.346~ED.346~

Thailand-Cambodia War | Why a cluster of Hindu Temples is the flashpoint b/w 2 Buddhist Neighbours? [Video]

Thailand-Cambodia War | Why a cluster of Hindu Temples is the flashpoint b/w 2 Buddhist Neighbours?

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. #Thailand #Cambodia #PreahVihear #TempleWar #BorderConflict #EmeraldTriangle #SoutheastAsia #ICJ #UNESCO #TaMuenThom #BreakingNews #ColonialDispute #HistoricTemple #MilitaryClashes #ArtilleryStrike #HeritageInDanger #ModernWarzone #F16Jets #Nationalism #DisplacementCrisis #GlobalWarning #WarThreat #CambodiaThailandWar #DangrekMountains #CulturalConflict #TempleTerritory #RefugeeCrisis #BorderWar #ICJRuling #TempleTensions Also Read Who Is Wilawan Emsawat?

Trump’s FOOLISH Mistake | Beijing eyes UN Takeover after U.S pulls-out from UNESCO [Video]

Trump’s FOOLISH Mistake | Beijing eyes UN Takeover after U.S pulls-out from UNESCO

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. #ChinaUN #TrumpUNExit #Trump #XiJinping #UNESCO #USvsChina #TrumpWithdraws #GlobalLeadershipCrisis #UNTakeover #ChinaInfluence #Multilateralism #TrumpPolicy #TrumpNews #ChinaDiplomacy #USForeignPolicy #BeijingPowerPlay #TrumpVsUN #UNLeadershipVacuum #Geopolitics #USIsolation #WokeControversy #TrumpAdministration #ChinaRising #UNPowerShift #TrumpUNESCOExit #BreakingNews #GlobalPolitics Also Read Trump Reaches Silver Jubilee of India-Pak Ceasefire Claim, PM Totally Quiet: Cong :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reaches-silver-jubilee-of-india-pak-ceasefire-claim-pm-totally-quiet-cong-7807665.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Accuses Obama Of 'Treason,' Without Providing Evidence :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-accuses-obama-of-treason-without-providing-evidence-7807491.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Announces Japan Trade Deal With 15% Tariff On Imports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-japan-trade-deal-with-15-tariff-on-imports-7807489.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.124~

US Breaking: Trump Pulls U.S Out Of ‘Woke’ UNESCO Again, Slams Anti-israel Bias & China Influence

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. #TrumpWithdrawsUNESCO #AmericaFirst #AntiDEI #TooWoke #ProPalestineBias #ChinaInfluence #UNESCOExit #CulturalCombat #HeritagePolitics #WokeWars #USAWithdraws #GlobalRetract #DiplomaticShift #AmericaOutUNESCO #IdeologicalSplit Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.420~GR.125~
