Khalistan supporters staged a protest during a program outside the Consul General Office of India in Melbourne, Australia, to commemorate India’s 79th Independence Day. Indians living in Australia were gathered here to celebrate Independence Day peacefully, when the supporters reached there with flags and started committing uproar.

According to The Australia Today report, Khalistani supporters created a ruckus and vandalized the campus, which increased tension between the two sides. Local officials reached the spot and controlled the situation. It is seen in the video that Khalistani supporters are waving the flag while hoisting the tricolor on behalf of Indian supporters and singing patriotic songs. However, the tricolor was hoisted between the slogans of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ and ‘Vande mourning’ at the ceremony.

Recently, pro -Khalistan activities in Australia have intensified in a few months. Last month, hatred messages were written on the Swaminarayan Temple in Melbourne and two Asian restaurants. Earlier, an Indian man was attacked due to parking dispute. In this, the wires of Khalistanis were also involved in the incident. During the fourth Test match between India and Australia in 2024, there was a clash between Khalistani supporters and Indian cricket fans.

On August 15, India was liberated from the British rule, since then every year this day is celebrated as Independence Day. This is a special day in Indian history, but in the cricket world, this day is also remembered because of MS Dhoni. On 15 August 2020, MS Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket. In this post, he mentioned 1929, which reflects time. But why did Dhoni retire at 7.29 pm in the evening?

The year was 2020, when the corona epidemic had an impact on every area and people were forced to be imprisoned in homes. The IPL was also postponed, which was then played in UAE. After the information about the IPL schedule, all the teams started their preparations, all the players of Chennai Super Kings including MS Dhoni gathered in Chennai before going to UAE.

On August 15, MS Dhoni shared a video from the team camp, announcing the retirement. There were some memorable photos of Dhoni in the video, singing in the background (Main Pal Do Pal Hoon) was playing. This post disappointed all the fans, everyone was also surprised as to why he suddenly retired. Dhoni wrote in his post, “Thank you very much for your love and support. Consider me retired from 1929.”

What does 1929 mean in MS Dhoni’s retirement post?

In MS Dhoni’s post, 1929 means time, which is 7 to 29 minutes (19.29) minutes. At this time, MS Dhoni posted retirement. But why chose this time? This question does not happen if Dhoni himself does not write this time in his post. So whom is this time connected to?

Why did MS Dhoni retire at 7.29 am?

Many perceptions about this went viral on social media. One is that MS Dhoni played his last international match in the semi -finals of the 2019 World Cup, this match ended at this time. Although we saw in ESPN Cricinfo, the match ended at 7.26 am. If this is close to it, it may be that at 7.29 MS Dhoni stepped out of the field and noted this time.

The second reason went viral that on August 15, the last sunset in India was held at 1929, so Dhoni chose this time. He wanted to draw a line like going to sunset. His way of writing his time was also like the army, which reflects their love for their army. Dhoni had chosen the day of 15 August very thoughtfully.

Suresh Raina also retired soon after MS Dhoni’s post

Disappointed fans were surprised by MS Dhoni’s retirement post when Suresh Raina also announced his retirement from international cricket after some time. Raina was present at the CSK camp with Dhoni at this time, which was about to leave for Dubai.

Suresh Raina, while announcing his retirement, shared a photo sitting with MS Dhoni and other players. He wrote, “MS Dhoni was a very pleasant experience to play with you. With full pride, I want to join you in this journey. Thank you India. Jai Hind!

MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina were of what age were at the time of retirement

MS Dhoni was 37 years old at the time of retirement. When Suresh Raina retired from international cricket, he was only 31 years old. Right now Raina is 38 and Dhoni 44 years old.

Independence Day 2025: Describing sports as an important aspect in the journey to make India a developed country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday that the National Sports Policy (NSP) will ensure the development of sports from far -flung schools to Olympic level.

Prime Minister Modi said in his address to the nation from the Red Fort on the occasion of 79th Independence Day that at one time sports were not considered as a career option but today the situation is not like this.

He said, “Sports are an important aspect of development and I am happy that where the children were scolded by parents at one time, but today we have reached the situation where it has changed. If children now take interest in sports then parents are happy. ”

He said, “I consider it a good omen. I am proud to see that sports are being made in Indian families. This is good for the future of India. ”

The NSP was implemented on July 1 after the cabinet approval to determine accountability in sports administration and to promote healthy competition, fairness and moral conduct in the sports sector.

It proposes to constitute national agencies and inter-ministerial committees for quick action and effective solution to issues. The policy also proposes a renewed funding system, including initiatives like ‘An athlete adoption’, ‘a district adoption’, ‘a site adoption’, ‘a corporate-one game’ and ‘a public sector undertaking-one state’.

Prime Minister Modi said, “To promote sports, we have brought the National Sports Policy after many decades. This will ensure the development of sports from school to Olympic level. ”

He said, “We will prepare an ecosystem that is coaching, fitness or infrastructure.” We will make such an ecosystem to develop sports to far -flung corners of the country.

A few weeks after the arrival of NSP, Sports Minister Mansukh Mandavia also insisted and passed the National Sports Administration Bill pending for many years in Parliament. The bill ensures a strict regulatory framework and superficial dispute solution system for the National Sports Federations.

India has so far average performance in the Olympics and in the Tokyo Olympics 2021, seven medals including a gold are India’s best in this Mahasamar of the Games so far.

The Prime Minister also said that fitness is an important part of sports culture and reiterated that India has to fight obesity by reducing the use of oil in food.

He said, “When I talk about fitness, I also want to talk about obesity. This is a big problem in the country. It is estimated that every third person in future will be a victim of obesity. To win the war against obesity, we have to reduce the use of oil in food. ”

This time the 79th Independence Day in Jharkhand was celebrated in an atmosphere of great enthusiasm and patriotism. Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar hoisted the tricolor and addressed the public at Morabadi Maidan in the capital Ranchi. He said that “better law and order is the backbone of any state’s progress” and Jharkhand has made great progress in this direction.

Struggle on Naxalism

Governor Gangwar said that the government’s campaign against Naxalism is moving fast. This year’s figures also testify to this. 197 arrest of Naxalites, death in 17 encounter and surrender of 10. He clearly stated that the government’s goal is, “To free Jharkhand from Naxalism, so that every citizen can live in a safe environment.”

Action on illegal drugs

Not only Naxalism, but also the Jharkhand Police has tightened the screws on illegal drug business. The cultivation of illegal opium spread over thousands of acres was destroyed from the root. This step has shocked the network of drugs and will help the youth to protect them from the drug trap.

Big relief to farmers

In his address, the Governor also mentioned the steps taken for the farmers. The government has waived agricultural loans worth Rs 2,300 crore, which has given direct benefit to about 5 lakh farmers. This step will prove to be a big relief for the farmers, especially for those who were buried under the burden of debt.

Investment in infrastructure

To increase the pace of development, 3,800 km long highways are being built in Jharkhand at a cost of Rs 13,000 crore. According to the Governor, this project will give new dimensions to the state of connectivity and economic development.

Echo of ‘Maiya Samman Yojana’

Special attention was also paid to the empowerment of women. Under the ‘Maiya Samman Yojana’, 51 lakh women are being given financial assistance of Rs 2,500 every month. This scheme has also been appreciated from the World Bank. Gangwar said that this step is important in making women self -sufficient and improving their standard of living.
