Supreme Court Allows Passive Euthanasia in First-Ever Case, Permits Withdrawal of Life Support

On 11 March 2026, the Supreme Court of India issued its first-ever order permitting passive euthanasia, allowing the withdrawal of artificial life support for Harish Rana, a 32-year-old man who had been in a coma for more than 12 years after suffering severe head injuries in 2013.

A bench of Justice J. B. Pardiwala and Justice K. V. Viswanathan directed All India Institute of Medical Sciences to admit the patient to palliative care, where artificial life support can be withdrawn while ensuring dignity.

The decision follows the court’s landmark Common Cause v. Union of India ruling, which recognized passive euthanasia and the right to die with dignity under Article 21 of the Constitution. The guidelines were further simplified in 2023, allowing withdrawal of life support after approval by primary and secondary medical boards when recovery chances are negligible.

This ruling reinforces the legal framework for passive euthanasia in India, emphasizing compassion, medical oversight, and the patient’s dignity.

DRDO and Indian Navy Successfully Test Indigenous Air Droppable Container ADC-150 from P-8I Aircraft

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Indian Navy conducted four successful in-flight release trials of the indigenous Air Droppable Container ADC-150 from the Boeing P-8I Poseidon aircraft off the coast of Goa between 21 February and 1 March 2026.

The ADC-150 is designed to deliver payloads of up to 150 kg, enabling rapid supply of critical stores, equipment, and medical aid to naval ships deployed far from the coast. The successful trials demonstrated the system’s capability under various extreme release conditions.

With the completion of all developmental flight trials, the ADC-150 system is expected to be inducted into the Indian Navy soon, strengthening its operational logistics and emergency response capability in the open seas.

Cabinet Approves Changes to FDI Policy for Investments from Neighbouring Countries

The Union Cabinet of India, chaired by Narendra Modi, approved amendments to India’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy on 10 March 2026 for investments from countries sharing a land border with India.

The revised policy introduces clearer rules for determining “beneficial ownership” and sets a 60-day timeline for approving investment proposals in key manufacturing sectors such as electronic components, capital goods, and solar manufacturing.

Under the new guidelines, non-controlling investments of up to 10% beneficial ownership by entities from land-bordering countries can now be allowed through the automatic route, subject to sectoral limits and reporting to the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). However, majority ownership and control must remain with Indian citizens or Indian-owned companies.

The reform modifies the earlier restrictions introduced through Press Note 3 (2020), which required government approval for all investments from neighboring countries. The new changes aim to improve ease of doing business, attract more FDI, promote technology transfer, and strengthen India’s manufacturing sector under the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.

Zojila Pass Remains Open in Winter 2025–26 for the First Time, Ensuring Connectivity to Ladakh

In a historic achievement, Zojila Pass remained operational during the winter of 2025–26 for the first time, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity between Ladakh and the rest of India. The development allowed the continuous supply of essential goods to Kargil and Ladakh, even during the holy month of Ramadan.

The achievement was made possible by the efforts of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), which used advanced snow-clearance equipment, avalanche monitoring systems, and improved operational planning to keep the pass open despite heavy snowfall.

Located at an altitude of about 11,649 feet, Zojila Pass is a crucial route on the Srinagar–Kargil–Leh highway, with significant strategic importance for civilian supplies, tourism, and military logistics. The milestone also highlights progress toward year-round connectivity in the region, which will be further strengthened by the upcoming Zojila Tunnel.

TEHRAN — Iran’s Assembly of Experts has officially named Mojtaba Khamenei as the country’s new Supreme Leader. The 56-year-old cleric succeeds his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on February 28, 2026, during joint United States and Israeli airstrikes targeting his compound in Tehran.

The appointment, announced shortly after midnight on March 9, marks the first time in the history of the Islamic Republic that power has passed from father to son.

  • Assembly Decision: The 88-member Assembly of Experts selected Mojtaba following a “decisive vote”.
  • Military Backing: The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) immediately pledged “complete obedience and self-sacrifice” to the new leader.

India’s Lakshya Sen finished runner-up in the men’s singles at the All England Open Badminton Championships 2026 after losing to Lin Chun‑yi in the final held in Birmingham on 8 March 2026.

India delivered a dominant performance, posting a massive total in the final and then bowling out New Zealand to secure a convincing 96-run victory.

Key contributions came from Sanju Samson, who scored a brilliant 89 runs, and Ishan Kishan, who added a quick 54. With the ball, Jasprit Bumrah led the attack with four wickets, supported by Axar Patel.

Nepal General Elections 2026: Rastriya Swatantra Party Led by Balen Shah Heads Toward Major Victory

Early results of Nepal’s general elections held on 5 March 2026 indicate a major political shift, with Balen Shah’s Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP) heading toward a historic victory. According to the Election Commission of Nepal, the RSP has already won 18 seats and is leading in 99 of the 165 directly elected constituencies. If this trend continues, 35-year-old Balen Shah, a rapper-turned-politician and former Kathmandu mayor, could become Nepal’s youngest Prime Minister and lead the country’s first majority government in 27 years.

The elections were conducted for 275 parliamentary seats (165 First-Past-the-Post and 110 proportional representation), with a voter turnout of around 60%, the lowest since 1991. The polls were triggered by Gen Z protests in September 2025, which forced the resignation of Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli.

Traditional parties such as the Nepali Congress and CPN-UML are trailing significantly, each leading in only about 11 constituencies. Key campaign issues included anti-corruption measures, youth employment, and political reforms. The results are also being closely watched internationally, especially by India and China, due to Nepal’s strategic importance in the region.

Symbolism and Traditions

  • The Colours: Each hue carries a specific meaning: Red for love and fertility, Blue for Lord Krishna, Yellow for happiness, and Green for new beginnings.
  • Social Equality: Holi acts as a “great leveller,” where social hierarchies of caste, age, and status dissolve as everyone celebrates together.

World Wildlife Day 2026

📅 What is World Wildlife Day?

World Wildlife Day is celebrated every year on 3 March, as declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 2013. The date commemorates the signing of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 1973. It is the most important global annual event dedicated to raising awareness about the value of wildlife and the urgent need for conservation.


🌿 Theme for 2026

The theme for World Wildlife Day 2026 is:

“Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Conserving Health, Heritage and Livelihoods.”

This theme highlights:

  • The ecological importance of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs).
  • Their role in healthcare systems worldwide, from Ayurveda and Unani to modern pharmaceuticals.
  • Their contribution to rural livelihoods and traditional knowledge systems.
  • The need to protect biodiversity against threats like overharvesting, habitat loss, and climate change.

🌱 Why It Matters

  • Healthcare: Over 80% of the world’s population relies on plant-based medicines for primary healthcare.
  • Economy: MAPs support rural economies through farming, trade, and sustainable harvesting.
  • Culture: They are deeply embedded in traditional practices and indigenous knowledge.
  • Environment: Conserving plant biodiversity ensures ecological balance and resilience.

🐾 Global and Local Significance

  • Globally: The UN organizes virtual celebrations, youth art contests, and awareness campaigns to engage communities worldwide.
  • In India: The focus is on linking biodiversity with Ayurveda, Siddha, and tribal healing systems, while also promoting wildlife parks and reserves rich in medicinal plants.

✨ Key Takeaway

World Wildlife Day 2026 reminds us that protecting wildlife isn’t just about saving animals—it’s also about safeguarding the plants that heal us, sustain rural communities, and preserve cultural heritage. Conservation is not a choice; it’s a responsibility we share for the health of our planet and ourselves.

India–Canada Relations Reset: PM Mark Carney’s Historic Visit to India

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s four-day visit to India (27 February–2 March 2026) marked a historic reset in India–Canada relations, ending nearly eight years without a bilateral PM-level visit. The trip signaled a clear move past years of diplomatic strain and laid the foundation for a more ambitious partnership.

The visit delivered major outcomes, led by a USD 2.6 billion, 10-year uranium supply agreement to support India’s civil nuclear energy program. Both sides agreed to fast-track CEPA negotiations, targeting completion by end-2026 and aiming to raise bilateral trade to USD 50 billion by 2030. A Strategic Energy Partnership was launched to boost cooperation in clean energy, including solar, wind, and hydrogen.

In education and innovation, 13 university-level agreements were signed in areas such as AI, healthcare, and agriculture, with Canadian universities planning hybrid campuses in India. On security, a new Defence Dialogue was established, along with a trilateral MoU with Australia on technology and innovation.

Diplomatically, the visit marked a shift from the 2023 Nijjar-related crisis, with Canadian officials indicating no current linkage of the Indian government to violent acts in Canada. For Canada, the visit also supports economic diversification beyond the U.S. and aligns with its Indo-Pacific strategy, alongside stops in Australia and Japan.

Both leaders framed the trip as transformative—PM Carney calling it the start of a “new, more ambitious partnership,” and PM Modi describing bilateral ties as having made a “light-year leap.”

Ranji Trophy 2025–26 – Jammu & Kashmir’s Historic Triumph

The 2025–26 Ranji Trophy marked a landmark moment in Indian domestic cricket as Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) won their first-ever Ranji Trophy title after 67 years of participation. J&K clinched the championship by securing a first-innings lead against Karnataka in a drawn final, overcoming one of India’s strongest domestic sides.

Key contributors included Auqib Nabi, who continued his outstanding season with another five-wicket haul, Shubham Pundir with a vital first-innings century, and Qamran Iqbal and Sahil Lotra, whose centuries in the second innings sealed J&K’s dominance. Veteran captain Parvez Rasool called the win the realization of a decades-long dream.

The achievement gains further context against the rich legacy of the Ranji Trophy, India’s premier domestic red-ball tournament since 1934–35, organized by the BCCI and historically dominated by Mumbai (42 titles). J&K’s win stands as a turning point, reinforcing that sustained investment, belief, and grassroots development can transform even long-time underdogs into champions.

India Qualify for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Semifinals After Thrilling Win Over West Indies

India qualified for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 semifinals after a tense five-wicket win over West Indies in Kolkata on 1 March 2026. Chasing a challenging target of 196 runs, Sanju Samson anchored the innings with a match-winning knock, while Hardik Pandya provided vital support in the middle overs to seal victory in a virtual knockout match.

India’s journey through the Super 8 stage was closely contested, with qualification hinging on their final game. Under the aggressive leadership of captain Suryakumar Yadav, India remained competitive and delivered when it mattered most.

India will now face England in the semifinal on 5 March 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, in a high-stakes knockout clash, with the winner advancing to the final.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei killed in joint U.S.–Israel military operation

On March 1, 2026, Iranian state media confirmed that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a carried out on February 28, 2026. The strikes targeted his compound in central Tehran and other strategic locations across Iran.

The operation—called “Roaring Lion” by Israel and “Operation Epic Fury” by the U.S.—involved precision aerial bombardment. Along with Khamenei, several senior Iranian officials, including the IRGC chief and the Defence Minister, and members of his family were reportedly killed. After initial denials, Iran officially declared his death as “martyrdom” and announced 40 days of national mourning.

Global reactions were sharply divided. The U.S. and Israel publicly defended the strike as a justified blow against Iran’s leadership, while protests and mourning were reported among Shia communities in parts of India, including Lucknow, Kashmir, and Kargil.

Regionally, the situation escalated rapidly. Iran launched retaliatory missile and drone attacks on Israeli and U.S. targets across the Middle East. Global oil markets surged amid fears of disruption in the Strait of Hormuz. Politically, Iran formed an interim leadership council to govern until a new Supreme Leader is chosen by the Assembly of Experts.

National Science Day : 28 February

Historical Background

  • Discovery of Raman Effect (1928): C.V. Raman discovered how light scatters when it passes through a transparent material, a phenomenon later named the Raman Effect.
  • Nobel Prize (1930): Raman became the first Indian scientist to win the Nobel Prize in Physics for this groundbreaking work.
  • Institutional Recognition: In 1986, the Government of India designated 28 February as National Science Day to honor this achievement.

  • Encourages youth participation in science and technology.
  • Recognizes India’s contributions to global scientific progress.
  • Provides a platform for educational institutions to organize exhibitions, debates, and lectures.

  • Aims to inspire young minds, especially girls, to pursue careers in STEM.

Pakistan–Afghanistan Relations Escalate into Open War (2026)

The Pakistan–Afghanistan relationship has historically been tense, shaped by border disputes, militant activity, and shifting alliances. In 2026, these tensions escalated into what is now being described as an “open war” between the two neighbors.

Historical Background

  • Durand Line Dispute: The border drawn in 1893 by the British (Durand Line) has never been formally recognized by Afghanistan. This has been a persistent source of friction.
  • Taliban Factor: Pakistan was once accused of supporting the Taliban during the U.S. war in Afghanistan. Now, the Taliban-led Afghan government is accused by Pakistan of harboring militants who attack Pakistani territory.
  • Cross-border Militancy: Groups like the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have used Afghan soil to launch attacks, worsening relations.

Current Escalation (2026)

  • Pakistan’s Declaration of “Open War”: On February 28, 2026, Pakistan officially declared open war against Taliban-ruled Afghanistan after cross-border attacks intensified.
  • Airstrikes: Pakistan launched Operation Ghazab lil-Haq, striking Kabul and provinces like Nangarhar and Kandahar in retaliation for Afghan attacks on Pakistani border posts.
  • Afghan Retaliation: Afghanistan responded with artillery and rocket fire across the Durand Line, claiming to have inflicted heavy losses on Pakistani forces.
  • Civilian Impact: Reports show destruction of homes and civilian casualties in Afghan provinces following Pakistani airstrikes.
  • International Reactions:
    • The U.S. expressed support for Pakistan’s “right to defend itself.”
    • Iran offered to mediate between the two countries.
    • Former U.S. President Donald Trump commented that Pakistan was “doing terrifically well” in the conflict.

India and Israel Sign 16 MoUs to Strengthen Strategic Partnership

During Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s state visit to Israel on 25–26 February 2026, India and Israel elevated their ties to a Special Strategic Partnership and signed 16 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) across diverse sectors. This marks a significant expansion of cooperation between the two nations.


Key Areas of Collaboration

  • Innovation Partnership: AI, cybersecurity, and education MoUs highlight a shared vision of technological leadership.
  • Agricultural Sustainability: Israel’s expertise in desert farming and water management will support India’s food security goals.

India and Israel’s latest agreements reflect a deepening partnership rooted in innovation, security, and shared prosperity. This builds on earlier milestones—Modi’s 2017 visit to Israel and Netanyahu’s 2018 visit to India—which laid the foundation for today’s expanded cooperation.
