Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I’m Nelson John and here are today’s top stories.
Thursday afternoon in Mumbai's Powai turned into every parent's nightmare. Seventeen children walked into RA Studio thinking they were auditioning for a web series. Instead, they became hostages. The man behind it was 50-year-old Rohit Arya from Pune. He locked the kids inside, set up motion sensors on the stairs, and recorded a chilling video. "Instead of committing suicide, I made a plan and kept a few children hostage," he said on camera. His demands? A conversation. He wanted to speak with former Maharashtra Education Minister Deepak Kesarkar. Here's the thing. Arya wasn't asking for money. He claimed the government owed his firm Rs 2 crore for work done under the Swachhta Monitor Project, part of the state's "My School, Beautiful School" campaign.
339 runs to win. Defending champions Australia. A knockout match. And the ghosts of past chokes hanging heavy over Indian cricket. Thursday night in Navi Mumbai, something changed. Jemimah Rodrigues walked in at 59 for 2. The 25-year-old hadn't even been a guaranteed starter at the tournament's beginning. Four months of struggle, of being dropped, of wondering if she belonged. All of it came down to this moment. What followed was the knock of her life. 127 not out off 134 balls. But here's the thing about this innings. It wasn't just about the runs. It was about the courage to keep going when Australia's Alyssa Healy dropped her on 82. Then again on 106. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur stood alongside her, scoring 89 off 88. Together they added 167 runs for the third wicket. India's highest partnership against Australia in World Cup history. When Harmanpreet fell with 113 still needed, Rodrigues didn't flinch.
China just threw India a lifeline on rare earth magnets. And the timing tells you everything. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed Thursday that several Indian companies have received licenses to import rare earth magnets from China. No numbers yet, but this is significant. Let's break it down. Rare earth minerals are the backbone of electric vehicle manufacturing and battery production. China controls 70 percent of global rare earth mining. When Beijing restricted exports recently, Indian EV makers felt the squeeze immediately
Kerala is making a bold claim. The state says it's about to become the first in India to eradicate extreme poverty. MLA M. B. Rajesh laid out the numbers. When the Pinarayi Vijayan government returned to power in 2021, their first cabinet decision was launching a poverty eradication scheme. They trained 4 lakh people through the Kerala Institute of Local Administration to identify the poorest families. Then they built micro-plans for each of the 64,006 families identified. Four years later, Rajesh says all of them have been lifted out of extreme poverty. "After China, Kerala is becoming second place in the world to eradicate extreme poverty," he told ANI. But Kerala BJP President Rajeev Chandrasekhar isn't buying it
India just bought itself some time on Chabahar port. The US has granted a six-month exemption from sanctions on the Iranian port project. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal confirmed the news Thursday. This matters because Chabahar is India's strategic gateway to Afghanistan and Central Asia without going through Pakistan. Here's what happened. US sanctions on the port kicked in September 29 as part of Trump's pressure campaign on Iran's nuclear program.
In this special episode, MINT's Political Desk Editor Gulam Jeelani goes on ground in Patna to talk to youngsters about their aspirations and the upcoming elections. What will they vote on? Are their enough jobs in the state? More so, why is migration such a man-made issue in the state.#bihar #biharelection2025 #chathpuja #nitishkumar #tejashwiyadav #live #prashantkishor #modi #rahulgandhi #patna #buxar #mughalsarai #railwayexam #biharvidhansabha #laluyadav #yadav
Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, I’m your host Nelson John — This is your smart, daily briefing on what matters. From big moves in business to headlines shaping India and the world, we cut through the noise so you start your day informed and ahead.
It's Wednesday, October 29th. Let's get started!
In Delhi, a Cessna aircraft from IIT Kanpur fired silver iodide flares into clouds to trigger artificial rain that could wash away pollution. The ₹1.28-crore trial failed to bring any measurable rainfall. Moisture levels were too low, only 10–15 percent. Yet Delhi’s environment minister hailed it as a “science-first step.” Critics mocked the timing since the weather office had forecast natural rain. For a smog-choked capital desperate for relief, even failed experiments count as effort.
Down south, Bengaluru saw something equally unusual — cooperation. BJP MP Tejasvi Surya met Congress deputy chief minister D.K. Shivakumar to discuss the city’s tunnel road project. Surya argued that instead of a ₹50,000-crore car tunnel, funds should go to public transport that can move 69,000 passengers per hour, compared to the tunnel’s 1,800 vehicles. Shivakumar listened, agreed to meet again, and invited industry leaders to the next discussion. For once, the city’s politics paused to prioritize policy.
Meanwhile, New Delhi deepened its ties with Moscow. Hindustan Aeronautics Limited signed a deal with Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation to build the SJ-100 passenger jet in India — the first since the Avro of the 1960s. The move comes weeks before Putin’s India visit and despite Western sanctions on UAC. India says it recognizes only UN-mandated sanctions. The partnership fits its strategy of “multi-alignment” — buying cheap Russian oil while working with the US in the Quad. It’s both business and geopolitical signaling: India will decide its partners on its own terms.
In Gaza, the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas unraveled again. Israeli jets struck targets near Shifa Hospital after Hamas allegedly fired on its troops, killing at least 30 people. Netanyahu accused Hamas of violating the truce by returning only body parts of hostages; Hamas said it was preparing another handover before the strikes. With each clash, hopes of sustained calm fade, and humanitarian conditions worsen.
And in the corporate world, Amazon began its own experiment with efficiency. The company is cutting 14,000 corporate jobs — 4% of its white-collar staff — as AI tools take over logistics, payments, and cloud operations. CEO Andy Jassy called AI “the most transformative technology since the Internet.” Profitable yet restless, Amazon is reshaping itself for the machine age, even if it means fewer humans in the loop.
Across these stories runs a common thread: ambition amid uncertainty. Delhi tried to engineer rain, Bengaluru tried political collaboration, India asserted independence in diplomacy, Israel and Hamas tried (and failed) to sustain peace, and Amazon tested the limits of automation.
Each was an experiment — scientific, political, or technological — driven by the same instinct: to act rather than wait. Not all succeeded, but all reflected the restless urgency of our times. Whether firing silver iodide into clouds or feeding algorithms new data, humanity’s defining habit endures — the need to try, fail, and try again.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I’m Nelson John and here are today’s top stories.
California Tragedy Sparks National Debate:
Dashcam footage captured the terrifying moment a semi-truck slammed into stopped traffic on California’s I-10 — killing three, injuring four, and igniting a firestorm over how commercial licenses are issued. The driver, 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh, an undocumented immigrant allegedly high on drugs, had somehow obtained a California CDL. Federal officials are calling it a “systemic failure,” while Washington froze $40 million in funding over weak language standards for truckers. Singh faces manslaughter and DUI charges.
Trump’s High-Stakes Asia Trip:
President Trump heads to Asia for his first meeting with Xi Jinping since returning to office — and it’s make-or-break. After months of tariff threats and China’s rare-earth export curbs, Trump’s opening line to Xi will be about fentanyl. Washington blames Beijing for chemical flows fueling America’s drug crisis. The outcome could reset U.S.-China trade — or reignite tensions.
India’s Big Defense Push:
India approved ₹79,000 crore in new defense buys — missiles, warships, and AI-powered air systems — part of a wider push for self-reliance after Operation Sindoor. The move boosts combat readiness across all forces while backing Indian defense tech.
Delhi Bets on Artificial Rain:
Delhi may finally make it rain — literally. Using IIT Kanpur’s cloud seeding tech, the city plans its first artificial rainfall by October 29 to fight smog. Five trials are planned — science versus pollution.
India-Canada Thaw Begins:
After a year of diplomatic frost, India and Canada are talking again. Ottawa can now send back diplomats under a “reciprocal” staffing deal — a cautious reset after Trudeau’s explosive 2023 accusation over Hardeep Nijjar’s death.
Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I’m Nelson John and here are today’s top stories.
Modi Skips ASEAN Summit as Trump Heads to Malaysia
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the ASEAN Summit virtually, skipping what’s being billed as the largest gathering of world leaders in ASEAN history. The decision, officially linked to Chhath Puja, comes as US President Donald Trump lands in Kuala Lumpur in person. Over 30 leaders, including China’s Li Qiang and Brazil’s Lula, are attending. With India-US ties strained by Trump’s steep 50% tariffs on Indian goods, Modi’s absence avoids an awkward meet without a trade breakthrough. Talks to reduce tariffs to 15–16% are ongoing, but India is treading carefully amid delicate diplomacy — balancing QUAD and BRICS ties at once. Kuala Lumpur, meanwhile, is under lockdown with 16,000 officers on duty.
Siddaramaiah’s Son Upsets Karnataka’s Succession Equation
Yathindra Siddaramaiah has thrown a curveball into Karnataka politics by backing minister Satish Jarkiholi as his father’s successor — sidelining Deputy CM DK Shivakumar. With the Congress government hitting its halfway mark, talk of a “November revolution” is gaining traction. For Shivakumar, once seen as next in line, the message is clear: the race is no longer his alone.
Indian Army Goes Tech-First
India’s Army is arming up for the future — signing a ₹2,770-crore deal with Bharat Forge and Adani’s PLR Systems for 4.25 lakh modern carbines. New drone platoons and elite commando battalions are rolling out, while US-made Javelin missiles are being added. The shift marks a major leap from manpower-heavy to AI-driven combat readiness.
Meta Cuts 600 Jobs in AI Reality Check
Meta’s AI dream just hit turbulence — 600 layoffs at its AI Superintelligence Labs. Despite a $14 billion spree to hire top AI talent, several big names have already quit. CEO Alexandr Wang says “leaner is faster,” but the move reveals internal tension between expensive new hires and a thinning support base.
Trump Slaps Russia with Oil Sanctions, Eyes India Next
President Trump has sanctioned Russia’s oil giants Rosneft and Lukoil, warning Putin to end the Ukraine war. The move also turns the heat on India, with Trump insisting Modi promised to cut Russian oil imports — claims New Delhi hasn’t confirmed. The message from Washington: stop buying Russian oil or face crushing tariffs.
America education | H1B visa | ImmigrationThe Trump administration has announced new rules that will exempt foreign students, including Indians, from paying the $100,000 Visa application fee for the H-1B visa. In this podcast, we speak with Immigration Attorney Sophie Alcorn of Alcorn Immigration Law who breaks down what exactly this means. Watch!#immigration #h1bvisa #america
In this episode of South Asia Geoeconomics Adda, Dr. Harsha de Silva — economist, parliamentarian, and Chair of Sri Lanka’s Committee on Public Finance — joins Dr. Sanjay Kathuria to dissect Sri Lanka’s journey from economic collapse to cautious recovery. They discuss what went wrong after the post-war boom, the 2022 debt default, and the hard lessons from Sri Lanka’s dealings with China, India, and the IMF. Harsha reflects on India’s critical support during the crisis, the burden of bad policy choices, and why trade liberalization remains politically difficult. How can Sri Lanka cope with the high 20 percent additional “reciprocal tariffs” of the current US administration? The conversation probes whether Sri Lanka can rebuild credibility, manage debt that exceeds 100 percent of GDP, and find balance in an increasingly polarized region.

Last week, the entire cabinet of Gujarat had resigned, leaving Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel the only person left standing. The main reason? Possible anti-incumbency. One of the fixes that the party has used in states repeatedly is this- if the people are unhappy and itching for change, then just get rid of a chunk of those that are the faces of the government- BJP did this not just in 2021 gujarat, but also in Haryana last year where ML Khattar and team were replaced by Naib Singh Saini just months before general elections. So the question in Gujarat is, is why now? Watch#politics #gujarat #cabinet
Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I’m Nelson John and here are today’s top stories.
Politics and diplomacy are both running hot today — from Gandhinagar to Washington, and beyond.
In Gujarat, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has hit the reset button — all 16 ministers resigned, giving him a clean slate to rebuild his cabinet. BJP insiders call it a strategic reset ahead of the 2027 polls. The new team, to be sworn in at Mahatma Mandir, could nearly double in size. Amit Shah and JP Nadda are flying in, underscoring how high the stakes are for the BJP’s strongest state.
Across the world, Donald Trump’s back in the headlines — twice over. First, he claimed PM Modi promised to stop Russian oil imports. India flatly denied it, saying its energy policy serves its own people, not foreign politics. Then, Trump revealed plans to meet Vladimir Putin in Budapest to “end the Ukraine war,” right as Zelensky lands in Washington. It’s diplomacy — Trump-style — loud, unpredictable, and headline-hungry.
Back in South Asia, India has clearly chosen sides in the Afghanistan–Pakistan border fight — and it’s not Islamabad. Delhi slammed Pakistan for “sponsoring terrorism,” backing Kabul after deadly cross-border strikes. The timing is sharp — just as a Taliban minister visits India.
And finally, a milestone worth celebrating — India’s housing mission just crossed one million approvals under PM Awas Yojana 2.0, with half reserved for women. A quiet, inclusive success amid all the noise.
In the first episode of Season 2 of 'Transforming India: the Road to 2047,' presented by Mint in partnership with JSA Advocates and Solicitors, host Alokesh Bhattacharyya delves into India's journey towards becoming a developed economy amidst global challenges.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I’m Nelson John and here are today’s top stories.
India’s global playbook just got a shake-up.
First, President Trump dropped a bombshell from the Oval Office—Prime Minister Narendra Modi has agreed to stop buying Russian oil. After months of U.S. pressure and hefty 50% tariffs on Indian goods, Modi reportedly told Trump the shift will happen “within a short period.” If India follows through, it could hit Moscow’s war chest hard—India’s been one of Russia’s biggest crude buyers since the Ukraine war began. Trump called Modi “a great man,” even as he hinted next on his list is China.
Next, India pitched its homegrown Akash missile system to Brazil. Defense Minister Rajnath Singh met Brazilian leaders in New Delhi, offering co-development deals and training exchanges. The move underlines India’s growing defense confidence—transitioning from an importer to a serious exporter of indigenous tech.
Meanwhile, Washington was stunned when Ashley Tellis, a top U.S.-India relations expert, was arrested for allegedly leaking classified defense documents and meeting Chinese officials. Tellis, a key figure behind the landmark U.S.-India nuclear deal, now faces up to 10 years in prison.
Back home, Tamil Nadu debunked viral claims of a “Hindi ban.” The government called it “completely false,” reinforcing the DMK’s long-standing pro-Tamil stance amid renewed language politics.
And in Delhi, the Supreme Court gave a cautious nod to Diwali celebrations—allowing only green firecrackers from Oct 18–20 under strict monitoring. It’s a delicate balance between tradition and air quality.
Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I’m Nelson John and here are today’s top stories.
1. Trump’s “Peace Talk” Moment Gets Awkward
At the Gaza Peace Summit in Egypt, Donald Trump had a classic off-script moment. While praising PM Modi, he turned around to ask Pakistan’s Shehbaz Sharif if India and Pakistan will “live very nicely together.” Sharif smiled, and the cameras loved it. Trump has been claiming he stopped a war between India and Pakistan last May by threatening massive tariffs. India denies any US mediation, saying peace came through direct talks. But Sharif played along, even crediting Trump and backing his Nobel Peace Prize nomination. Modi skipped the summit but praised Trump’s “sincere efforts.” What’s clear is Trump’s pushing his global peacemaker image—facts aside.

2. Tharoor Questions India’s Low-Key Presence at Peace Summit
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor took a jab at India’s choice of sending a junior minister, Kirti Vardhan Singh, to a summit that saw 27 heads of state. He asked if it was “strategic restraint or a missed opportunity.” His point: when others send leaders, showing up with lower representation limits influence. The government says it was about maintaining strategic balance. Singh met Egypt’s President and reaffirmed India’s “commitment to peace.”

3. India–Canada Relations Hit Reset
After two frosty years, India and Canada are thawing ties. Canadian FM Anita Anand met PM Modi and EAM Jaishankar, marking the first high-level visit since Trudeau’s 2023 accusation linking India to a Khalistani activist’s killing. Now, both sides unveiled a roadmap for trade, tech, clean energy, and AI. Canada’s move to designate the Bishnoi gang as terrorists helped rebuild trust. Analysts call this a pragmatic reset—choosing progress over politics.

4. ‘Fare Se Fursat’: Fixed Airfares Take Off
No more fare shocks. Alliance Air’s new scheme offers fixed prices regardless of when you book. Valid till Dec 2025, it’s part of India’s plan to make flying affordable. Minister Rammohan Naidu says it fits the UDAN vision—connecting smaller towns and making travel predictable.

5. India’s ₹6.4 Trillion Hydro Power Push
India is going big on clean energy—tapping the Brahmaputra River to generate 76 GW by 2047. With China building dams upstream, this is as much about energy as it is about strategy. Arunachal leads with 52 GW potential. Two phases, massive spend, and a green target in sight.
Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I’m Nelson John and here are today’s top stories.
Donald Trump just made a dramatic claim aboard Air Force One: “The war in Gaza is over.” The US President is flying to the Middle East, first stopping in Israel to address parliament, then co-hosting a peace summit in Egypt with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. His peace deal’s first step — Hamas frees all Israeli hostages from the October 7 attack, while Israel releases 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and allows aid into Gaza. Netanyahu called it a “victory,” though he warned the fight isn’t done. World leaders, including Modi’s envoy Kirti Vardhan Singh, will join the summit, signaling a potential end to one of the deadliest modern conflicts that’s killed over 67,000 in Gaza.
Meanwhile, diplomacy’s getting a reboot elsewhere. Canada’s Foreign Minister Anita Anand landed in New Delhi to “hit reset” on strained India-Canada ties. This marks the first official visit under new PM Mark Carney. She’ll meet Jaishankar, Piyush Goyal, and key business leaders in Mumbai before heading to China and Singapore — part of Canada’s Indo-Pacific push to rebuild strategic partnerships.
In Kabul’s shadow, Taliban foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi faced tough questions from women journalists after earlier barring them. His response — it was a “technical issue” — didn’t land well. The optics? A regime still struggling to convince the world it respects women’s rights.
And in markets, gold and silver are on fire. Silver neared $51 an ounce, gold hit $4,060, and traders are literally flying silver bars across the Atlantic. A mix of short squeezes, Fed cuts, and US-China tensions has sent precious metals soaring up to 80% this year.
