Kakatiya-era sculpture of warriors unearthed in Telangana's Polasa
JAGTIAL: A rare sculpture dating back to the Kakatiya period, depicting two warriors locked in horseback combat, came to light following the recent rains in Polasa village, about seven kilometres from the Jagtial district headquarters. Villagers discovered the half-buried artefact under a bush near Sri Poulastheswara Swamy temple during their early morning farm work on Monday. The partially damaged stone shows a warrior overpowering another in battle. Speaking to TNIE, historian Sankepalli Nagendra Sharma urged the government to initiate excavations in the area, stating, 'There is a treasure trove of history buried here. The sculpture belongs to the Kakatiya period. Further excavation will reveal valuable insights for future generations.' Assistant archaeologist S Raviteja told TNIE that the region, especially Polasa, is rich in historical remnants, many of which date back to the 11th century and could be linked to the Kakatiya dynasty. 'Polasa has seen the rule of several dynasties, including the Chalukyas and Kakatiyas.' An inscription was found etched on the stone beside the sculpture. Though the script appears faded, early observations suggest it could be in Devanagari, although this is yet to be confirmed. Nagendra Sharma said they have informed the epigraphy department, which will ascertain the excavation and provide a detailed report. 'We will visit the site to study and attempt to decipher the script,' Raviteja said. In 2021, research scholar Pyata Srilatha of Potti Sreeramulu Telugu University presented a paper identifying Polasa as once being the capital of Polavasadesa, ruled by chiefs affiliated with the Rashtrakutas. The village still bears ruins of ancient temples, sculptures and a mud fort with a surviving moat. (With inputs from Akhil Kumar)

Indian Navy to Commission 1st ASW Shallow Water Craft, Arnala on June 18; CDS Gen Anil Chauhan to preside
New Delhi [India], June 9 (ANI): The Indian Navy is set to commission its first Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Shallow Water Craft, Arnala, at Visakhapatnam Naval Dockyard, on June 18, 2025. The ship's crest features a stylized Auger Shell, symbolizing resilience, vigilance, and dominance in challenging environments. The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen Anil Chauhan, will preside over the ceremony. As per the release, the Vice Adm Rajesh Pendharkar, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Eastern Naval Command, will host the ceremony, which will be attended by senior naval officials, distinguished guests, and representatives from the shipbuilders and various other agencies associated with its construction. The ship's motto, 'arnnve shaurym' (Arnave Shauryam), meaning 'Valour in the Ocean,' embodies the crew's unwavering courage and strength in the face of challenges at sea. This motto serves as a constant inspiration for the crew to remain steadfast and fearless. Inscribed in Devanagari script, the ship's name, Arnala, is set against a blue backdrop, representing the ocean. The event marks the formal induction of the first of the sixteen ASW-SWC class ships into the Indian Navy. Designed and constructed by M/s Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers (GRSE), Kolkata, under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with M/s L&T Shipbuilders, Arnala is a testament to the success of the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative in defence manufacturing, according to the release. Constructed under the guidance of the Directorate of Ship Production and the oversight of the Warship Overseeing Teams in Kolkata and Kattupalli, Arnala was delivered to the Indian Navy on May 8. Named after the historic Arnala Fort off Vasai, Maharashtra, the warship reflects India's rich maritime heritage. Much like the fort, which stood resiliently against various threats, the ship is designed to have a formidable presence at sea. Its robust construction and advanced capabilities ensure that it can withstand the challenges of the maritime domain, safeguarding India's waters from emerging threats. The Ship's Crest is a powerful emblem that encapsulates the spirit and mission of this formidable naval vessel. At its heart is a stylised Auger Shell, a striking symbol set against a deep blue backdrop, evoking the vast, untamed ocean. The Auger Shell, with its spiralled, reinforced structure and precision tip, is no mere decorative element--it represents resilience, vigilance, survival, and dominance in the harshest of environments. Much like the shell, the ship is engineered to endure the ocean's relentless forces, executing flawless anti-submarine operations with pinpoint accuracy, delivering ordnance on target with unmatched precision. The ship's name, inscribed in the elegant Devanagari script at the base of the crest, anchors this imagery with cultural pride and identity. The warship incorporates more than 80% indigenous content and integrates advanced systems from leading Indian defence firms, including Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), L&T, Mahindra Defence, and MEIL. The project has engaged over 55 Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), promoting domestic industry and generating related economic activity. Designed for a range of ASW operations, Arnala is equipped to conduct Subsurface Surveillance, Search and Rescue missions, and Low-Intensity Maritime Operations. This 77.6 m long warship, with a gross tonnage of over 1490 tonnes, is the largest Indian Naval warship propelled by a Diesel Engine-Waterjet combination. The commissioning of Arnala will mark a transformative moment in India's naval capabilities, strengthening coastal defence and reaffirming India's position as a self-reliant maritime power in the strategically vital Indian Ocean Region.

BJP-TIPRA Motha relation turns sour in Tripura?
Agartala: The relation between the two ruling partners in Tripura govt — BJP and TIPRA Motha — has gradually become strained, as the latter party feels the govt is not considering their issues of concern seriously and that their demands have not been fulfilled. TIPRA Motha leaders have confronted the govt on several issues since they joined the ruling front and got two ministerial berths last year. After a long persuasion, the ministry of home affairs (MHA) appointed an interlocutor to negotiate TIPRA Motha's core demand for Greater Tipraland and associated socio-economic, cultural and social issues, but there has been no headway. BJP and TIPRA Motha have been facing differences on selection of scripts for Kokborok (dialect spoken by tribals). While Motha and other tribal parties demanded for the Roman script, BJP argued for Bengali or Devanagari script for the language. The ruling party of Tripura ADC has been fighting for direct funding from the Centre and empowerment, for which they said to have forged an alliance with BJP, but this has not happened yet, Motha leaders said. Recently, TIPRA party launched an agitation demanding action against district magistrate (Gomati) TK Chakma for alleged misbehaviour with ADC CEM Purna Chandra Jamatia and Motha founder Pradyot Kishore Debbarman. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo They had a protest locking down the administrative offices in the district on last Monday and issued a seven-day ultimatum to the govt for taking action against DM Chakma.
