INDORE: Archaeological Survey of India has concluded that the Kamal Maula Mosque at Bhojshala complex in MP’s Dhar was constructed using parts of ancient temples, “based on scientific investigations, survey and excavation, study and analysis of retrieved finds, study of architectural remains, inscriptions, art and sculptures”.The existing structure was built centuries later “without much attention to symmetry, design, or uniformity”, says the ASI report submitted to Indore bench of MP HC in 2024. TOI has a copy.On Monday, the bench, while hearing the petition on the Bhojshala-Kamal Maula Mosque dispute, directed that the ASI report should be made available to all parties. Justice Vijay Kumar Shukla and Justice Alok Awasthi directed all parties to file objections, suggestions, opinions and recommendations in two weeks, with the next hearing fixed for March 16.

Hindu Front for Justice state vice-president Ashish Goyal, also a petitioner, said, “The survey conducted by ASI — the report that has come out — establishes that the entire structure dates back to the Paramara dynasty. It was built by Raja Bhoj, and also by his forefathers. The structure is approximately 950 to 1,000 years old.”“This report is deeply encouraging for the Hindu community. Very soon, this decisive battle will reach a conclusion,” Goyal said.“It should not matter whether the report has been opened now or earlier. What should matter is what the religious character of Bhojshala would be. This is the issue on which the Hindu community has been struggling for years,” he added.Another petitioner, Bhoj Utsav Samiti convenor Ashok Jain, said, “We had filed the petition with the notion that if the place was a mosque, it should be given to them (Muslims) and if it is a temple it should come to us. Now the court has given two weeks for all to reply. We will take appropriate steps after the next hearing.”“The report establishes that in the later structures that were constructed, materials and remains from the original Bhojshala of that period were used after being dismantled,” Jain said.The 2,000-page report in 10 volumes was prepared by ASI additional director general Alok Tripathi, with contributions from Zulfiqar Ali, Bhuvan Vikram, Gautami Bhattacharya, Manoj Kumar Kurmi, Izhar Alam Hashmi, Aftab Hussain, Shambhoo Nath Yadav and Niraj Kumar Mishra.The team used the latest scientific techniques to excavate, study and enlist the findings during the 98-day survey and hinted that it may have been a temple dedicated to goddess Saraswati.ASI found a total of 94 sculptures and sculptural fragments, many of which were chiselled out or defaced. Sculptures of fourarmed deities were carved on windows, pillars and beam used in the existing structure.Images carved on these included Ganesh, Brahma with his consorts, Narasimha, Bhairava, gods and goddesses, human and animal figures. Images of animals in different mediums include lion, elephant, horse, dog, monkey, snake, tortoise, swan, and bird, the report said, adding that mythical and composite figures include a variety of motifs called kirtimukhas — human-faced, lion-faced and composite-faced — and vyala of different shapes.

Former India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has questioned the team management’s decision to leave out Axar Patel for the crucial Super 8 clash against South Africa in the T20 World Cup 2026.India opted to persist with Washington Sundar in the playing XI, citing his favourable match-up against left-handers. However, the move did not pay off. Sundar bowled two overs for 17 runs and failed to make an impact with the bat, scoring 11 at No.5, ahead of Rinku Singh, Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube. India went on to suffer a heavy 76-run defeat.

Speaking on his YouTube channel ‘Ash Ki Baat’, Ashwin said that while match-up strategies may work in franchise cricket, they are not always suited to international tournaments, where stability is key.“I agree that the IPL is good for match-ups, but you have to change the team because you are going to play 14 games. But in such ICC campaigns, the more stable you can keep the team, the better,” Ashwin said.“I agree 100 per cent that you have to use Washington Sundar against left-handers; you have to play him, I agree with all that. But Axar Patel has been your MVP in T20 cricket. Let’s not forget what Axar Patel has done,” he added.Making a strong case for Axar’s return, Ashwin referred to the all-rounder’s contribution in the T20 World Cup 2024 final, when India were under pressure in the chase against South Africa.“In the previous World Cup, in the situation against South Africa, in which India was in the chase, Axar Patel came in under the same circumstances. He stitched a partnership with Virat Kohli, and India crossed 170. Of course, Kohli’s experience was there, but Axar is not inferior. If India had a few wickets in hand and stability in the middle overs, they would have chased the target down,” said Ashwin.Axar, who is India’s vice-captain, was first rested for the match against the Netherlands and then overlooked again for the Super 8 fixture in Ahmedabad. With the defeat leaving India’s semi-final hopes hanging in the balance, the focus will now shift to their next encounter against Zimbabwe at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Thursday.

Tulsi Gabbard marked her husband Abraham Williams’ birthday with a message that read less like a routine social media greeting and more like a private vow made briefly visible to the world. “Happy birthday to my one and only,” she wrote, before adding a line that carried the quiet cadence of a promise: “Over and over again, I do.”The tone was unmistakably intimate. It was also entirely characteristic.Because in the theatre of American politics, where spouses are often displayed as carefully managed public assets, Abraham Williams occupies a very different role. He is not a campaign surrogate, not a television presence, not a familiar political spouse. In fact, most Americans encounter his name only when Gabbard herself chooses to mention him. He appears briefly through her words and then slips back into the anonymity he seems to prefer.

The reaction to that birthday post captured how unusual their pairing feels. One user replied with a mix of admiration and mock envy: “Two good looking, smart, gorgeous people. I hate you.” It was a throwaway comment, but it reflected a broader public perception. Their marriage looks strikingly normal in a world where political relationships often feel curated, strategic, and transactional.

Williams is a Hawai‘i-based cinematographer and video producer whose professional life has remained firmly outside politics. His work revolves around filmmaking and media production rather than policy or public life. It was through that work that he first met Gabbard around 2012, when he was hired as a photographer and videographer during her congressional campaign. Their relationship did not begin in elite political circles or donor networks. It grew quietly from a workplace connection.They married in April 2015 in Hawai‘i in a traditional Vedic Hindu ceremony, reflecting Gabbard’s spiritual practices and religious identity. The wedding itself was private and culturally rooted, largely removed from the spectacle that often surrounds political marriages.For Gabbard, this was not her first attempt at building a life with someone. Her earlier marriage to Eduardo Tamayo began in 2002 when she was just 21 and ended four years later. She has spoken about the strain that military service and deployments placed on that relationship, describing a period shaped by distance, pressure, and emotional exhaustion. Williams entered her life after that chapter had closed, and his presence has been defined not by visibility, but by steadiness.That quiet steadiness has been most visible during moments of personal vulnerability. In recent years, Gabbard has spoken openly about the couple’s struggle to start a family. She has described undergoing multiple IVF procedures and receiving a diagnosis of unexplained infertility. In those accounts, Williams appears not as a political figure, but as a constant companion navigating the same disappointments and uncertainties.Another dimension that has drawn attention is their connection to the Science of Identity Foundation, a Hawai‘i-based spiritual organisation associated with Chris Butler. Gabbard grew up in a family closely linked to the movement, and Williams’ family background intersects with the same community. Critics have described the organisation as cult-like, while supporters view it as a spiritual group. Both Gabbard and Williams have consistently framed their personal faith broadly in Hindu terms rather than organisational affiliation.Yet even controversy has not altered the central pattern of his public presence. He remains largely unseen, his voice rarely heard, his role defined more by absence from the spotlight than participation in it.And perhaps that is the most revealing detail of all. In a political culture built on amplification, where even intimacy is often staged for mass consumption, Abraham Williams represents a rare inversion of power. He is not a figure who shares the spotlight. He is the person who quietly holds it steady for someone else to stand within it.

NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar slammed India’s bowling attack after their heavy 76-run loss to South Africa in the T20 World Cup Super 8 match. He said the defeat exposed how fragile India’s bowling unit is, especially against strong batting line-ups like the Proteas.Akhtar was particularly critical of Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube, who gave away 67 runs in six overs for just one wicket. He felt they lacked pace and intimidation, and that using them in the death overs was a tactical mistake.

“Hardik and Shivam Dube were bowling at around 120 kmph. It’s not as if they are Malcolm Marshall — someone who would intimidate a batting line-up of South Africa’s calibre. If you deploy them in the death overs, such a counterattack from the Proteas is inevitable,” he said on Tapmad.He also pointed out that India’s bowling looked vulnerable overall, with South African batters dominating even the team’s key bowlers. Akhtar highlighted Varun Chakaravarthy’s expensive spell, saying his usual pace was down and that he was punished by the batters. “Indian bowling has been exposed. If you look at Varun, whose strength is bowling at 97-98 kmph, he was clocking 94. And when he came into the attack, he was hit for a no-look six by Dewald Brevis,” he added.Akhtar suggested that India should bring Kuldeep Yadav into the team, calling him the “missing link” who can trick batters and take wickets at crucial moments. “The missing link here is Kuldeep Yadav. He is someone who can deceive batters in the air and pick up wickets when needed. He is a proven match-winner.”He also felt that Varun Chakaravarthy and Washington Sundar offer similar skills, making India’s bowling attack predictable and easier for top teams to attack.

Criticism continues to mount over India’s decision to bench vice-captain Axar Patel for the T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 clash against South Africa national cricket team at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.The team management, led by head coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Suryakumar Yadav, opted to include Washington Sundar instead, citing South Africa’s left-heavy top order as the primary reason. However, the tactical switch failed to deliver the desired impact, with Sundar putting in an underwhelming performance as India slumped to a crushing 76-run defeat.

Former India captain Ajinkya Rahane has now joined the growing list of voices questioning the move. While Jasprit Bumrah removed both Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickelton early, Sundar was unable to trouble the middle order. He bowled just two overs, conceding 17 runs at an economy of 8.5, and was comfortably handled by David Miller and Dewald Brevis.Rahane did not hide his disappointment with the selection call.“I’m really surprised that Axar Patel didn’t play. I don’t understand what’s happening. Yes, Washington Sundar is a quality player; nobody is against him. But Axar has been doing so well in different situations. Sometimes I feel that when you become too smart, selection-wise, it can hamper you. You brought Sundar because too many left-handers in the South African lineup, but he only bowled two overs,” Rahane said on Cricbuzz.He further stressed that match-up theories do not always guarantee success.“There’s no guarantee that off-spinners will bowl really well against the left-handers. Axar’s record against left-handed batters is really good. We all saw what Keshav Maharaj did. You have to play the quality player in your team who has done so well for you in the past,” he added.What made the decision more puzzling, according to critics, was the fact that Axar is the designated vice-captain. He had earlier been rested for the game against the Netherlands, allowing Sundar his first outing of the 2026 T20 World Cup. Many expected Axar to return for the crucial Super 8 encounter, but the management persisted with Sundar — a move that backfired badly.Rahane reiterated that overthinking may have cost the team dearly.“When you overthink, I get the match-ups. Axar Patel is a quality player; he has done well for you in the past. He is a quality left-arm spinner with great character. No one is against Washington Sundar, but you have to back your main guy,” said Rahane.“He’s the vice-captain of the team. Unless he has a niggle, which we don’t know about. If he’s fit, he should be in the XI, any day,” he added.Following the heavy defeat in Ahmedabad, pressure has intensified on Gambhir and the think tank. With their campaign now on shaky ground, India face a must-win clash against Zimbabwe on Thursday, February 26, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Another setback could effectively end their hopes of reaching the semi-finals.
