In July 2026, the Indian government appointed Nandan Nilekani to lead a task force for exam reforms following intense protests and a new anti-paper-leak bill. While the Supreme Court defended the right to demonstrate, the Congress party dismissed these reforms as a distraction from administrative failures and alleged police brutality. Beyond domestic policy, Mohan Bhagwat critiqued the emotional nature of Gen Z, and the BJP targeted the AAP over regional recruitment scandals. On the global stage, a fragile ceasefire emerged between the US and Iran, even as Donald Trump intensified international trade tensions with new tariffs. Economic news highlights the RBI's confidence in the rupee's value and strong foreign capital inflows. Finally, in sports, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made history as the youngest Player of the Series in international cricket.
