Bhagavad Gita is very clear. It appears in the first chapter itself. How do we decide who is an insider in a family, and who is an outsider? Who is mine, and who is not mine? As a warrior, Arjun has no problem killing people. But he has a problem killing family members. Krishna helps him overcome his moral issue by analysing what constitutes family, and how it impacts decision-making. This matters in family businesses today as it did in Mahabharat times. How do we separate the personal from the professional? The Bhagavad Gita has nothing to do with violence or non-violence, duty or caste, as many people proclaim. Arjun is only wondering about the ethics of killing family members, since one is supposed to protect one's family, as per social norm. At its core, the Bhagavad Gita is trying to unravel the meaning and significance behind the possessive adjective 'my' and the possessive pronoun 'mine'. Right at the beginning, Dhritrashtra asks, 'What is happening in the battlefield between my sons and the sons of Pandu?' He does not refer to Pandu's children as his nephews, very clearly establishing that he considers them outsiders. But when Arjun expresses himself, his dilemma is that he sees insiders on both sides of the battlefield. There is no outsider here.

Azad, who arrived here to meet the family members of mob-lynching victim Fareed alias Aurangzeb and the bereaved family members who lost their loved ones in the Hathras stampede, said this while talking to reporters. «The mob lynching of the Muslim youth in the heart of the old city a fortnight ago, followed by the stampede in neighbouring Hathras is a clear pointer that the police force in Uttar Pradesh has lost the moral right to serve the common people because in both cases innocents are being framed by the police, while in both cases the guilty are moving scot-free,» he alleged.

Far-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon urged Macron to invite the leftist New Popular Front coalition to form a government, given projections that put it in the lead. The alliance, he said, «is ready to govern.»

That is the future being dreamed about by supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris, drawn from a meme referring to one of Harris' favorite expressions: «what can be, unburdened by what has been.» Harris has been criticized throughout her three-plus years in office, with articles examining her management of the border crisis and her struggle to define her tenure in the often-thankless role of vice president.
