The Supreme Court has held privacy to be part of the right to life and personal liberty in Article 21 and of the other freedoms in Part III.

The Second Round Table Conference came in 1931, the Quit India Movement in 1942 and the Royal Indian Navy mutiny in 1946.

The events run Air India's nationalisation (1953), the birth of the State Bank of India (1955), the Kerala communist government (1957) and Goa's liberation (1961).

Warren Hastings founded the Calcutta Madarsa, but the other two institutions are linked with the wrong founders. Hastings set up the Calcutta Madrasa in 1781 to train Muslim scholars in Arabic and Persian learning and in Islamic law, which the Company courts needed.

Somnath is a Jyotirlinga and Al-Biruni described it, but the present temple was consecrated by President Rajendra Prasad, not S. Radhakrishnan.

Ramanuja taught that loving devotion (bhakti) to Vishnu and complete surrender (prapatti) are the surest path to liberation.

Nizamuddin Panipati rendered the Yogavasistha into Persian in Akbar's time, as part of the emperor's large programme of translating Sanskrit works.

Sangam texts mention Brahmanas, kings and traders, showing that the poets knew of the varna order even though Tamil society was not organised strictly by it.

Nannuka–Chandela and Nagabhata II–Gurjara-Pratihara are correct; the other two kings are given the wrong dynasty. Nannuka founded the Chandela line of Jejakabhukti (Bundelkhand) in the ninth century, and his successors built the temples of Khajuraho.

The Raksha Mantri said defence production had surged to that record level in the financial year 2025-26, and that defence exports in the same period had reached an all-time high of about Rs 38,000 crore, both of which he attributed to the priority given to self-reliance in defence.

The Raksha Mantri released it at the Army Commanders' Conference in New Delhi, and it provides an overarching framework to prepare the Indian Army for the evolving character of warfare and for future conflicts, which is why it was issued to the Army's senior leadership rather than to a joint…

The simulations showed that as spin increases, the oscillating shock moves inward and its oscillations grow more pronounced, so the predicted frequencies can exceed 100 Hz for a black hole of about ten solar masses, which matches the fast variations observed in black hole X-ray binary systems.

Matter pulled towards a black hole forms an accretion flow that falls inward at high speed and emits non-thermal radiation, and the brightness of that radiation shows nearly regular variations known as quasi-periodic oscillations.

Its Numerical and Theoretical Astrophysics Group built the computer simulation of viscous accretion flows used in the work, which was led by Mr Sanit Debnath and Dr Indranil Chattopadhyay, with scientists from the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center in Poland and MJP Rohilkhand University, Bareilly.
