#Kolkata: There was a long quarrel, conversation in the high village. The people of the area did not understand in the slightest that it was going to take such a form even though it reached the ears of the people around. Allegedly, during the quarrel, the woman suddenly poured petrol on her body and set it on fire. Upon seeing him, the locals wrapped him in sackcloth and laid him on the ground. Police came to the spot. The woman’s husband was detained. The woman was sent to hospital for treatment.
It is known that the male partner is the husband of the woman. However, he already has another marriage. The woman, Soma, claimed that she was married to the man last October. The woman got married knowing that the man was married. The two started arguing on Sunday. The woman tried to commit suicide by setting fire to her body (Kolkata News).
It is learned that the woman publicly poured petrol on herself and set herself on fire. The incident took place at Behala Devdaru Phatak. Soma Singh is 32 years old. On that day, there was a quarrel with her husband in front of the field of Behala Devdaru Phatak (Kolkata News). According to eyewitnesses, the woman suddenly poured petrol on the bottle and set herself on fire.
However, the matter came under control due to the activities of a local youth. Seeing the woman burning, a local youth shouted and shouted at some people and then the fire was extinguished with a thick cloth. Locals rushed the injured woman to the hospital. When he called the police station, the police of Pornshree police station came to the spot. The police arrested the woman’s husband Uttam Gain. It is then known that he got married before Uttam Gain and later married Soma. And that is probably why there was unrest between the two for some time.

Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is the blueprint for China’s ambitions with Taiwan. While Xi Jinping tests the passive alliance of the US, Taipei should already prepare itself.
Russia-Ukraine war is going to have a multitude of effects on the global political scenarios. The world is watching carefully the shifting global orders. However, the keenest observer of the entire situation is none other than the President of China, Xi Jingpin.
The war that started on Feb 24, 2022, has startled the world with the tale of endless destruction, killings and political clashes among Russia and the West. Thousands of human casualties have been recorded while the destruction in Ukraine has changed the landscape of the country.
This unfortunate event is actually a live case study for one nation that also might have a similar plan impending- China. The world is well-aware of China’s ambition to annex Taiwan and bring it under its rule. Xi Jinping has always asserted that the country is part of the Republic of China and refuse to accept its separate identity.
So how does the unfolding of events pave way for the next big war between China and Taiwan? Let’s find out.
The incident reflects something deeper than a mistaken detour. Experts say that the move was Xi Jingpin’s attempt to threaten that island nation that vehemently challenges the One China Policy.
BREAKING: An EU official says there is “very reliable evidence” that China is considering providing military aid to Russia
According to the defence ministry of Taipei, eight Chinese J-16 fighters and one Y-8 reconnaissance aircraft flew over the northeast island of Pratas which is controlled by Taiwan.
Russia and China share similar beliefs that often lead to armed conflicts. Both nations believe that Ukraine and Taiwan, respectively, have originated out of mainland Russia and China and that, they should be reunited.
Will the US rescue Taiwan if China invades the island nation?
One of the most important factors under a watch right now is the response of the US to the Ukraine invasion. America has the reputation of an ally that hardly shows up on time. Yet, it rules the world order as of now and its role during challenging times like these cannot be overlooked.
Russia and China’s alliance has deepened as a result of Biden’s inability to lead. His weak & feckless decisions have put us in grave danger. I believe China will go after Taiwan. China is ramping up the propaganda against us.
The US has always supported Taiwan through billion-dollar weapon sales and policy favour on institutional levels. However, China would really want to test what would the US do in case it launches an armed operation against Taiwan.
This is why Xi Jinping is closely observing the role of the US in the Russia-Ukraine war.
So far, the US has supported Ukraine in the war of rhetoric and financial sanctions. However, it has failed to protect Ukraine against the armed aggression of Russia. This most likely sends out a message that if China plans to invade Taiwan next, the only thing it has to prepare for is the Western sanctions. Military aggression will likely be in favour of China.
If Ukraine is endangered, the shock will echo around the world. And those echos will be heard in east Asia- will be heard in Taiwan.
Growing alliance between Russia and China — more than ever
Russia is not just a blueprint for China. In the last few years, the two nations have grown to be close allies. This alliance has passed the test of the war and the matters are more cordial than ever.
Putin and Xi Jinping together reaffirmed in the Winter Olympics in Beijing last month that Taiwan is part of China. China is now returning the favour by giving full-fledged support to Russia in the war against Ukraine.
As a response to global sanctions, China declared that it will buy wheat from Russia to help the country deal with the economic blow. The two nations are also building more strategic trade deals than ever. Since 2014, Russia has diverted much of its trade alliances towards China from the West in anticipation of hostile relations during a war like Ukraine’s invasion.
Therefore, it is needless to say that if China chooses to invade Taiwan, it will enjoy full-blown support from the Putin administration. Unfortunately, the US might once again act as a passive ally.
Oscar 2022 is a week away and the nominations this year have already made experts scratch their heads. As complicated and confusing as it is to predict the close calls of these categories, we’ve tried to reach some firm grounds through deduction from recent big awards earned by films, cast and crew in respective categories. So, diving straight into the categories here are the predictions for the 94th Academy Awards, 2022.
Watch: 2022 Oscar nominations in 3 minutes
Best Film: The Power Of The Dog
If you’ve followed the Oscar nominations, you would be ready to read the name of Jane Campion’s film The Power of the Dog a little too often because of the number of nominations the film earned at the Oscars.
Keeping in mind all the accolades, appreciation and (let’s not forget) the sweeping nominations at the Oscars, there is a strong possibility that Benedict Cumberbatch led The Power of the Dog makes it in this category.
But the win for Apple TV+’s CODA at the Screen Actors Guild – where The Power of the Dog couldn’t even make it to the nominations – hints in a totally different direction.
Another film that is somehow in a win-win situation with this nomination category is Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up. And this is because the film is a metaphor of how we don’t take even a dire disaster seriously until it’s just on our nose. So, if this film wins an Oscar it will be a literal win for the team. But if it doesn’t then the awards might just exemplify what the film already showed.
Best Actress: Jessica Chastain
The speculations for the best actress are not eased by the BAFTA and SAG results. With SAG giving a platform to Jessica Chastain for The Eyes of Tammy Faye but all these rankings and accolades can be deceptive.
Former Oscar-winner Penélope Cruz beat unusual odds to land a nomination for Parallel Mothers (Madres Paralelas), ahead of Lady Gaga for House of Gucci. On the other hand, Kristen Stewart is the sole Oscar 2022 nomination for her film Spencer for playing Princess Diana.
But by simple deductions of other awards this season and prior Oscar wins, it is likely that Jessica Chastain will make it to the golden statuette. As the awards are generous to her this year and she’s the only one in the list who has never earned the golden statuette.
This is a rather easy prediction when a star of a magnitude as Will Smith is in the nominations with a banger performance and an elevated approach to the race for awards. Smith has already received awards and applause for his exceptional performance as Richard Williams in Reinaldo Marcus Green’s King Richard, which includes both SAG and BAFTA.
If Smith wins he’d be only the fifth Black man to win lead actor following Sidney Potier, Danzel Washington, Jamie Foxx and Forest Whitaker. Out of which Washington and Whitaker were the ones Smith lost his two past nominations to.
Best Cinematography And Background Score: Dune
Dune has a big chance of getting something home from the Oscars night. Being the second-highest nominated film and Denise Villeneuve’s sixth to be nominated for The Academy Awards; out of which, his previous two films did get him some golden statuettes.
DUNE is back on HBO Max today ahead of the Oscars, where it's nominated in 10 categories including Best Picture. One of the most visceral, visually overpowering movies of last year, operatic and completely mesmeric from first frame to last. pic.twitter.com/P7r47mHrEX
From best cinematography to original score, Dune has earned numerous awards at Bafta and has some opulent international awards in her name. And Dune winning an Oscar or two might not come as a surprise. After all, the film was technically impeccable and internationally appreciated.
Kamalika Sengupta: #Kolkata: Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee and his wife will arrive in Delhi on Sunday for questioning by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a financial scandal involving a coal scam in the state, a source told News18. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s nephew and Trinamool Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee and his wife Rujira Banerjee will face interrogation at the ED’s Coal Scam on March 21 and 22, according to the March 21 and 22 schedule. .
A source close to Abhishek Banerjee said that according to the law, Abhishek and Rujira will have to face interrogation. Abhishek Banerjee was interrogated for more than eight hours in September after the Bengal Assembly elections in West Bengal last year. Abhishek and Rujira, both residents of West Bengal, should not have been summoned for questioning in Delhi, they said.
On March 11, the Delhi High Court dismissed the petition. As a result, Abhishek and Rujira have to appear before the ED again.
Trinamool, however, sees the issue as ‘political revenge’ State Education Minister Bratya Basu said Abhishek Banerjee has been targeted by the BJP. “They are harassing Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek to make Bengal small.” The BJP will have to pay the price later for this political revenge, ”said Bratya Basu, the state education minister.
Many within the party have said that after the results of the Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh and four other states, the BJP has been doing these things to ‘tarnish’ the Bengal leadership as part of its ‘politics’.
Abhishek Banerjee and his wife were both interrogated separately in this case by ED. After eight hours of questioning, Abhishek Banerjee announced that he would abide by the law of the land but would not stop his fight against the BJP.
However, the BJP has denied any involvement in the incident. According to the Gerua party, the Delhi High Court had rejected Abhishek Banerjee’s plea, so the ED would summon them. “It has nothing to do with politics,” said a party source.
Apart from Abhishek Banerjee and his wife, his PA and other close associates have also been interrogated (Coal Scam Case).

#Kolkata: Dilip Ghosh (BJP Dilip Ghosh) appeared in Newtown Ecopark on Sunday morning at 7 am. BJP all-India vice-president and BJP MP Dilip Ghosh attacked Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the security of Tilottama in front of journalists on the morning of her visit. He also expressed displeasure over the election violence in the state. Asked how safe the metropolis is in the aftermath of one shooting after another in the city, he said, “We are seeing a little more metropolis as the kind of violence, anti-social activities that have started in the districts, the state government has no control anywhere.” Dilip Ghosh mocked the role of the Chief Minister (CM Mamata Banerjee) and said, “The Chief Minister is no longer in the state and is dreaming of becoming the Prime Minister. So the people of the state have been handed over to the thugs here. Two councilors were killed on the same day, with miscreants roaming the streets in broad daylight. They are not being caught, even if they are caught, not a single person is being punished. ” He also remarked that the work of the police without punishing the miscreants is now only to stop the opposition.
On the other hand, in Asansol and Baliganj Center Loksabha Election 2022_ Baliganj Trinamool candidate Babul Supriyo in his campaign mocked Dilip Ghosh (BJP Dilip Ghosh). Barely wearing a hat, when are you going to wear a lungi? They change parties like changing clothes. They have lost morally, now they are ready to become ministers hand in hand. ” It is unthinkable that elections are taking place one after the other, we see the police busy catching the opposition by stopping the thieves. ”He alleged that the ruling party of West Bengal was trying to force the vote by force of arms.
Condemning the attack on Ranaghat MP Jagannath Sarkar, Dilip Ghosh said, “Two days ago, our district president Kalyan Chaub was attacked. The Jagannath government was attacked yesterday. We see miscreants stepping on fire, firing guns. ” Complaining about the insecurity of the common man in the state, BJP all-India vice-president Dilip Ghosh said that the state government does not lack security for ministers and MLAs. But the government’s role in protecting the common man is a silent spectator.
