The constitutional right to have gender surgery.

The Allahabad High Court, in a recent ruling, has recognized an individual’s constitutional right to undergo gender transition through surgical means. This judgment was made by Justice Ajit Kumar during a case involving a female constable in the Uttar Pradesh police who had requested permission for sex reassignment surgery (SRS).

Justice Kumar emphasized that in today’s society, no one should be prevented from changing their gender. The court stated, “A person experiencing gender dysphoria can face various challenges, including anxiety, depression, negative self-perception, and discomfort with their own sexual anatomy. When psychological interventions fail to provide relief in such cases, surgical gender transition should be encouraged.” The case is scheduled for further hearing on September 21.

The petitioner explained to the court that she is grappling with gender dysphoria and identifies as a man. She disclosed that she had applied for SRS authorization on March 11 to the Director General of Police in Lucknow. However, no decision had been made on her request, leading her to file this petition.

The constable’s legal representative cited the Supreme Court‘s ruling in the case of National Legal Services Authority vs. Union of India to argue that the authorities were not justified in withholding the petitioner’s application.

BJP and BRS supporters fight at a protest

The police had to step in to break up the fighting

As BJP protesters gathered, supporters of the ruling party also arrived, leading to a violent exchange of stone pelting that resulted in injuries to some individuals. The police had to step in to break up the fighting.

The BJP workers were protesting in response to a call from their leadership for statewide demonstrations against the perceived shortcomings of the BRS government. Rakesh Reddy stated that their demands included providing housing for the underprivileged, creating employment opportunities for the jobless, and implementing the Dalit Bandhu scheme. He alleged that they were attacked by a significant number of troublemakers and criticized the police for seemingly protecting these individuals.

In another incident, tension arose near the residence of civil supplies minister Gangula Kamalakar in Karimnagar. BJP workers accused the minister of reneging on promises to his constituents and attempted to besiege his house. Police subsequently arrested the protesting BJP members and took them to the police station.

Gmail implements new security enhancement measures

Gmail uses verification when creating new forwarding addresses

Google has unveiled new security measures for Gmail users, including requesting verification when adding a forwarding address and creating or editing filters. These safeguards are an extension of the enhanced security measures introduced last year for Google Workspace accounts.

Gmail implements new security enhancement measures
Google will assess the session for potential risks

Sensitive actions in Gmail that trigger these protections include creating or modifying filters, importing filters, adding forwarding addresses, and enabling IMAP access status. When these actions are initiated, Google will assess the session for potential risks and, if deemed necessary, will prompt the user with a “Verify it’s you” request. Users can confirm the action’s legitimacy by using a trusted second factor, such as a 2-step verification code.

If a verification challenge is unsuccessful or remains incomplete, users will receive a “Critical security alert” notification on their trusted devices. It’s important to note that this feature currently supports users who use Google as their identity provider and actions within Google products, and it does not support SAML users at this time.

Additionally, Google recently introduced a native translation integration in the Gmail mobile app, allowing users to communicate in various languages seamlessly. To translate messages on mobile, users need to select “Translate” on the dismissible banner and choose their desired language. This banner appears when the content language of a message differs from the “Google.com Mail display language” set in the user’s account settings.

The Enforcement Directorate had set August 24 as the date for Jharkhand Chief Minister Soren to participate in their inquiry related to the alleged money laundering case. In preparation for the questioning, the agency has requested additional security forces from both the central and state police.

Responding to these developments, Congress spokesperson Rakesh Sinha remarked, “The Enforcement Directorate no longer appears to be an independent agency but rather seems to function as part of Amit Shah‘s management. We have been facing continuous harassment, so our only remaining option is to seek legal recourse through the courts.” Sinha went on to suggest that in the lead-up to the 2024 elections, the Enforcement Directorate might also initiate inquiries into BJP leaders.

Vijay Deverakonda also credited stars like Rajinikanth and Chiranjeevi for sustaining the industry for generations. “If someone like me can come and do a film here, it is because of these guys, who have sustained the audience by giving hits. They have created this ecosystem for someone young to come and work now. They are beyond hits and flops.”


The actor said, “Rajinikanth sir might have four to five flops, but he will come back and do Jailer, which is Rs 500 crores… we all have to shut up and watch. Chiranjeevi, sir will have six to seven flops back-to-back. But if he puts his feet down and does it… For (last) Sankranti, he did one huge film.

Thaksin Shinawatra, the former prime minister of Thailand, will be imprisoned

After more than 15 years in self-imposed exile, former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has returned to Thailand and was promptly taken to prison following an 8-year detention order issued by the Supreme Court. The court’s criminal division for political officeholders revealed that he had been sentenced to eight years in prison due to his three convictions, all of which were handed down in absentia.

These convictions include a two-year term for corruption related to a lottery project, a three-year sentence for his involvement in a loan from the Export-Import Bank for Myanmar, and a five-year sentence for his role in amending a mobile phone concession agreement.

Thaksin, formerly a telecommunications magnate, arrived in Bangkok on a private plane from Singapore, landing at Don Mueang International Airport just after 9 a.m. He paid his respects to the king and queen’s portraits before being escorted by a police convoy to the court and subsequently to prison.

Thaksin served as Thailand’s prime minister from 2001 to 2006 but had been living in self-exile abroad since 2008.

Interestingly, Thaksin’s return coincided with a parliamentary vote to select a new Prime Minister, which aims to resolve a political deadlock that persisted for over three months following the general elections won by the popular Move Forward Party. Thaksin’s supported party, Pheu Thai, which came in second in the May elections, nominated real estate mogul Srettha Thavisin as the next Prime Minister on the same day.
