Parliamentary committee meeting to resolve the issue of «discrimination» in determining the «creamy layer» for OBC reservation, the panel has scheduled another discussion for later this month, reported TOI. However, it has now emerged that the Parliamentary Committee on Welfare of OBCs had previously addressed the same issue in detail five years ago, ruling against including «salary» in the calculation of «income» for the purpose of reservations. Interestingly, the committee at that time was also chaired by its current head, BJP MP Ganesh Singh. Sources informed to TOI that the committee has summoned the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) for a meeting on November 28, where the issue of factoring in «salary» for backward candidates from public sector undertakings (PSUs) qualifying for the UPSC exams will be discussed. During Wednesday's meeting, MPs including DMK's TR Baalu, Congress' Manickam Tagore, SP's Ramashankar Rajbhar, and a senior BJP member criticised what they described as a violation of the 1993 Office Memorandum (OM), which explicitly states that «income» should not include «salary» or «agricultural income.» The controversy centres around the government's practice of including «salary» for candidates whose parents work in PSUs, citing the lack of an «equivalence of posts» with government positions such as Group A, B, C, and D, noted a TOI report.

According to ESA, the Chaffins cracked the code after tirelessly running simulations and relying on their intuition. The decoded message turned out to be a dynamic visual signal made up of five configurations, each representing an amino acid—the building blocks of life. However, while the signal has been successfully decoded, its true meaning remains elusive. Decoding the message was just the beginning. Now, the challenge is to interpret its significance, and that task falls to citizen scientists like the Chaffins, who will seek to uncover any hidden messages within the data. The project's creators have no immediate plans to verify any interpretations, but they are encouraging the public to submit their ideas. Daniela de Paulis, the media artist behind «A Sign in Space,» is also working on a book documenting the journey of the project, including the different interpretations that have emerged.

Trump and Republicans call a «mandate» to govern, an uneasy political question is emerging: Will there be any room for dissent in the U.S. Congress?

The promise of unified government, with the Republican Party's sweep of the White House and GOP majorities in the House and Senate, is making way for a more complicated political reality as congressional leaders confront anew what it means to line up with Trump's agenda.
