Dawood Ibrahim, India's most wanted criminal, was hospitalised after allegedly being poisoned in Karachi, Pakistan. Reports claim that the 67-year-old underworld figure is in critical condition, and the Pakistani authorities have tightened security around the hospital.

Dawood Ibrahim, India's most wanted criminal, was hospitalised after allegedly being poisoned in Karachi, Pakistan. Reports claim that the 67-year-old underworld figure is in critical condition, and the Pakistani authorities have tightened security around the hospital. However, there's no official confirmation from either India or Pakistan. According to some reports, Dawood was rushed to the hospital two days ago after one of his men poisoned him. Here's everything you need to know about Dawood Ibrahim. Who is Dawood Ibrahim? Dawood Ibrahim is one of the most prominent criminals in the Indian underworld. The United Nations Security Council and the United States have declared him a terrorist for his association with Al-Qaeda. The criminal kingpin is also a large-scale drug runner. Dawood Ibrahim was the son of a police constable. He joined a mob in Mumbai under Karim Lala. Then, he set up a multi-billion-dollar illegal enterprise in the '80s and '90s. His criminal activities revolved around prostitution, gambling, and drugs. Despite moving to Dubai in 1986 to avoid criminal prosecution, Dawood Ibrahim stayed a prominent figure in Mumbai's criminal network. He also had ties to a large-scale drug-smuggling operation, exporting narcotics to the United Kingdom and Western Europe. Dawood was also the head of D-company, a Mumbai-based crime syndicate.

In 2003, the US placed him on the list of global terrorists. Moreover, the US Department of the Treasury Office has forbidden US financial entities from working with him. He has a smuggling route shared with and used by Al-Qaeda, said reports. Dawood Ibrahim was also one of the suspects in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which killed over 170 people. In 2010, Ibrahim made it to Forbes' World's 10 Most Wanted list after many attempts to locate him failed. Ibrahim has supposedly been staying in Pakistan for decades, as per several reports. However, Pakistan has repeatedly denied giving shelter to the criminal. India has urged Pakistan to hand over 20 fugitives, including Dawood Ibrahim. India has also asked the international community to pressure Pakistan to turn him over and has placed a bounty of $25 million on Dawood's head. (With inputs from agencies)

A strange and new kind of rock containing plastics has been found across the globe. They are deposits mainly formed by compressing rock and plastic polymers discarded by humans.

A strange and new kind of rock containing plastics has been found across the globe. They are deposits mainly formed by compressing rock and plastic polymers discarded by humans. So far, these plastic rocks have been found on the coast and inland in 11 countries across five continents. These bizarre plastic rocks are an alarming sign of global plastic pollution. A researcher told Newsweek that these rocks are harmful to ocean sustainability and human health. What are these plastic rocks called? There has been a debate among the scientific community about what to call these plastic rocks. Among the various terms proposed, there are "plastistone," "plastiglomerate," "plasticrust," "plastitar," "plastisandstone" and "anthropoquinas." These different terms describe how the plastic rocks develop in specific ways. First samples of plastic rocks Geologist Patricia Corcoran reported the first example of a plastic rock nearly a decade ago in Hawaii and termed it "plastiglomerate." Deyi Hou, the author of a recent paper, Plastistone: An emerging type of sedimentary rock, said, "Molten plastic, sand grains, clasts from rock, coral, shells, and wood debris were held together after campfire burning on Kamilo Beach, Hawaii, USA." However, the paper called these plastic rocks "plastistones." Hou, an associate professor of environment at Tsinghua University in China, added, "Since then, they have been frequently found on beaches, both on islands and mainland coastlines." Hou and his team were the first to report the discovery of plastic rocks in the inland region. They were also the first to mention the chemical bonding between plastic and rock. Their most recent review summarised that plastic rocks exist across five continents and 11 countries. How are plastic rocks formed? Hou and his team explained that plastic rocks can form via a wide range of methods. "Burning is a commonly proposed mechanism, where plastic debris is melted during campfire or waste burning and then held within the mineral matrix when it cools down," Hou said. He added, "When waves crash against intertidal rocks, plastic debris from maritime sources can become physically adhered to the rock surface." ALSO READ | Australian researchers building world's first human brain-scale computer. It will go online next year Another way these plastic rocks form is when oil that contains a massive amount of plastic reaches a beach after a leak. This material attaches firmly to the host rock matrix and then undergoes partial evaporation and solidification process, Hou explained. "Finally, our study found that chemical binding contributed to plastistone generation in an inland region," said Hou. According to their hypothesis, sunlight irradiation causes plastic oxidation, leading to chemical binding between the plastic and rock material. Plastic rocks have been found in Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Hawaii, India, Italy, Japan, Peru, Portugal, the Spanish Curry Island and the United Kingdom. Plastic pollution has become a complex problem Gabriel Enrique De-la-Torre, a plastic pollution researcher at Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola in Peru, said, "Plastistone has emerged as a new term to describe plastics that have been incorporated into rocks." This will alter the fate of plastics in the environment, he said. "All in all, these findings show how complex the problem of plastic pollution has become," he added. However, the direct reason behind the formation of plastic rocks is the plastic pollution humans are pouring into the environment. According to the study, humans contribute roughly 22-48 million metric tonnes annually. "From a geologic perspective, the mass of plastic deposited by modern human beings is not trivial," Hou and his team wrote. Furthermore, he believes that these plastic rocks will continue to increase as a part of natural geographical processes and stick around for a long time. They are likely to increase in places where plastic pollution is worse, like cities, mulched agricultural soils, and plastic waste dumping sites. "Plastistones can be made from a variety of plastic wastes. Plastic bags, bottles, fishing gear, maritime ropes, and agricultural mulching films can undergo lithification with rocks, giving rise to the formation of plastistones," Hou said. How are plastic rocks harmful to us? According to the study, plastic rocks alter the microbial communities within the soil and neighbouring environment. This way the plastic rocks directly affect the local ecosystems. "We observed a lower microbial diversity in the plastistone compared to the adjacent soil. Furthermore, we identified several microorganisms that showed a preference for colonising the plastistone," Hou said. However, the potential ecological risks associated with the phenomenon are still unexplored. But the most dangerous fact about these plastic rocks is that they shed microplastics, tiny pieces of pollution which have spread across the globe and even into human and animal bodies. "The occurrence of plastiglomerate in pristine coastal islands such as those found in India increases the possibility of release of microplastic as well as associated chemical forms from the same due to weathering and waves," biogeochemist professor Punyasloke Bhadury of the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research told Newsweek. "The released microplastic will end up in the ocean, reaching higher trophic levels such as marine mammals and humans through predominantly edible fish," he added. (With inputs from agencies)

Raghuram Rajan, the former Governor of the Reserved Bank of India (RBI), opened up about his engineering days in IIT-Delhi and shared his viewpoints on politics and protests.

Raghuram Rajan, the former Governor of the Reserved Bank of India (RBI), opened up about his engineering days in IIT-Delhi and shared his viewpoints on politics and protests. Rajan, who is in India to promote his book Breaking The Mould, once contested an election in the premier engineering college, he said in a recent interview with The Lallantop. "Election in IIT does not happen on a party basis. It happens on an individual basis," the economist said. "I became the Secretary of the English Debating Society. Then. I became General Secretary of the Students Affairs Council. We also protested against the institute authority because they were not giving scholarships to PhD students. So we shut the IIT for a day." However, he recalled the incident as "not my proudest moment." "The ability to protest has to be protected" Raghuram Rajan shared his opinion on political protests. He said, "Sometimes political protest is good because that changes the environment. The civil rights protest against racism in the US changed the society for the good. Political protests should be encouraged. However, non-violence is important." ALSO READ | Dawood Ibrahim, India’s most wanted criminal, poisoned in Pakistan: Report The economist continued by saying that not all protests are constructive. However, Rajan believes that one must have the freedom to protest. When asked about his views on protests and their impact on economic activity, Rajan was clear that "the ability to protest has to be protected." 'I have no interest in politics' Rajan recalled the time when he contested in the college elections and said, "I was involved in politics. Fortunately, I got out of it also." When asked whether he would join politics, the former RBI Governor said, "I have no interest in politics." ALSO READ | Delhi Metro: Woman dies after her saree gets stuck in closing doors, enquiry launched Rajan mentioned he wanted India to adopt the right policies so that the nation could become developed by 2047. In his new book, which he has co-authored with Rohit Lamba, an assistant professor at Pennsylvania University, he highlights the weaknesses and strengths of India. The book also talks about how there should be a debate on what policies India needs to adopt. On Saturday, Rajan said at another event that India will remain a lower-middle-income country if the potential growth rate stays at six per cent annually without any rise in population by 2047.

On the evening of December 3, 1971, war came to India. It all started when Pakistan launched Operation Chengiz Khan, consisting of preemptive aerial strikes on Indian Air Force (IAF) bases across north and western India. Following the strikes, India declared war on Pakistan, marking their entry into the battle for East Pakistan's independence, siding with Bengali nationalist forces.

India ended the war in 13 days, and marked the formation of East Pakistan as the new nation of Bangladesh. On December 16 1971, the chief of Pakistani forces, General AA Khan Niazi, along with 93,000 troops, surrendered unconditionally before the Indian military, in what was the world's largest surrender in terms of the number of personnel since World War II.

Notably, the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971 was also one of the shortest wars in world history, fought for a mere one week and six days. It changed the world's perception of India, marking its recognition as a significant regional power.

'You surrender, or we wipe you out'

"You surrender, or we wipe you out" were the words the then Indian Army Chief Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, widely regarded as the architect of India's victory, gave to Pakistan during the Indo-Pak War of 1971.

Very few people know that Manekshaw and Yahya Khan, the third president of Pakistan, were colleagues before the partition. When they parted ways during the partition, Yahya offered to buy Manekshaw's red James motorcycle. He promised to pay ₹1,000 for it but did not keep his word. When the instrument of surrender was being signed on December 16, 1971, Manekshaw was heard saying, "Yahya never paid me the Rs 1000 for my motorbike, but now he has paid with half his country."

‘Liberator of Bangladesh’

One of the most iconic moments captured during the 1971 India-Pakistan war was when the shaken Pakistani Lt General Niazi signed the instrument of surrender next to India's Lt General Jagjit Singh Aurora, known as the 'Liberator of Bangladesh'.

Interestingly, General Aurora did not forsake his 18-round of golf inside Fort Williams headquarters in Kolkata before flying to Dhaka to accept the instrument of surrender.

During the war, Lt. General JFR Jacob, Eastern Command's Chief of Staff and Lt. General Aurora pursued the strategy of 'leaving the highways for the byways' to cut off the supply line of Pakistan's side, causing them to surrender on the 13th day of the war.

Diplomatic Initiatives

However, before resorting to military action, India exhausted its diplomatic initiatives to stop the genocide in Bangladesh. Indira Gandhi, the then prime minister, invited US National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger in July 1971 for breakfast and asked him to tell President Nixon to prevail upon Yahya Khan to hand over the power to Sheikh Mujib.

Indira Gandhi threatened to take action if the US didn't act after failing to get a satisfactory response. Both China and the US jointly tried to stall the liberation of Bangladesh through UNSC resolutions but failed due to Soviet interference.
