Next best: On tennis, new winners

A new era in tennis has arrived, with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner emerging as the main stars on the men’s side. Alcaraz just won his sixth Grand Slam by defeating Sinner in the US Open final, reclaiming the World No. 1 ranking and building a fierce rivalry with Sinner—they have now shared the last eight Grand Slam titles and faced each other in three consecutive Major finals. This shift means legends like Novak Djokovic are now in the background of the sport’s history. In women’s tennis, Aryna Sabalenka continues her dominance, capturing her fourth hard court Major by defending her US Open title. She has reached multiple Grand Slam finals over the last two years and has shown impressive consistency. Sabalenka beat a strong Amanda Anisimova, who herself had upset top players like Iga Swiatek and Naomi Osaka in this tournament. The generational shift is complete, and tennis now belongs to these new champions.

Decisive intervention: On the Supreme Court order, the Aadhaar card

The Supreme Court has directed the Election Commission to allow the Aadhaar card as one of the 12 valid documents for voter verification in Bihar’s electoral roll update. This move strengthens the right to vote by preventing unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles that could keep many people, especially the poor and marginalised, from voting. Previously, the Election Commission argued that Aadhaar only proves residency, not citizenship, and refused its use, even though other accepted documents also don’t prove citizenship. The exclusion caused the removal of over 65 lakh voters from Bihar’s lists, affecting women, migrants, and the poor most. Including Aadhaar should make it easier for people to verify their identity and regain their voting rights. The Court’s order is a lifeline for millions and sets an example for other states, making sure the voter list is fair and truly reflects the people.

 ​Quake in Nepal

The resignation of Nepal’s Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli after violent protests shows the dangers of ignoring the concerns and energy of young people. Nepal’s leaders, seen as outdated and out of touch, triggered outrage by banning social media platforms, which angered youth already frustrated by failing public services and rampant corruption. The harsh government response only inflamed the situation, leading to deadly clashes and attacks on politicians’ homes. Most senior leaders in Nepal have faced corruption accusations, while their families lead privileged lives that contrast sharply with unemployment and hardship for ordinary youth. These inequalities and lack of hope have pushed many young Nepalis to seek opportunities abroad. The cycle of power among the same old leaders, without offering youth a real voice, led to calls for even a return to the monarchy. Youth unrest has brought government changes in the region before, like in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, and India should watch closely to protect its interests as Nepal’s political scene evolves.

Anuparna Roy in Venice: Purulia to Palestine

Anuparna Roy’s journey from rural Bengal to international acclaim marks a proud moment for Indian cinema. On September 7, she became the first Indian to win the best director award in the Orizzonti section at the Venice Film Festival for her first film, Songs of Forgotten Trees. The film tells the story of two migrant women in Mumbai, reflecting Roy’s own experiences and struggles from her village in Purulia. Her storytelling reveals the realities faced by migrant women, fighting against early marriage and lost dreams. Beyond cinema, Roy also showed solidarity with Palestine, reminding the world that every child deserves peace and freedom. Despite early doubts from her family about her career choice, she has made a strong mark as a filmmaker with a compassionate voice
