'Married to an Indian woman': US Rep. Brandon Gill's comments on Indian 7-Eleven workers trigger online backlash

US representative Brandon Gill 7-Eleven in the US is facing extreme criticism online for his comments on hiring Indians in stores. In an increasingly popular video onWhile sharing the video, he captioned the post, “We do not need to import 7-Eleven workers from India or anywhere around the world. Hire Americans.” Gill appeared on The Benny Show, hosted by YouTuber Benny Johnson, and talked about the growing immigrant demographics in areas like Frisco in Texas. He blamed illegal and legal immigration through the H-1B visa system as fraudsters, citing the example of India’s 7-Eleven workers. He also claimed that people set up fake businesses in the country and start serial immigration after settling. “This thing has to end at some point and I think that point has come now,” he said. His comments stem from a video shot inside a 7-Eleven store in Texas, which was posted by controversial YouTuber Tyler Oliveira. In the clip, an Indian employee at the store mentioned that he is in the country on an H-1B visa and is originally from Andhra Pradesh in India. The video was later shared by AF Post on X with this caption: “Tyler Oliveira shows an H-1B worker at 7/11. To be approved for an H-1B, it must be determined that there is no American talent who can fill the position.Gill, who represents Texas’s 26th Congressional District, responded to the video calling for a ban on H-1B visas, writing, “H-1B is a scam and must be ended.”As many social media users pointed out, the irony is that Gill himself is married to an Indian. His wife, Danielle D’Souza, is the daughter of Trump aide Dinesh D’Souza, who was born in Mumbai and immigrated to the US in 1978. Danielle D’Souza Gill is an American author, commentator, and conservative activist who has appeared on Fox News and Newsmax, as well as been actively involved in the Women for Trump coalition.Gill faced heavy criticism for his comments on Indians, with many netizens asking him to marry a woman of Indian origin. One user on Another said, “Gas stations don’t pay well, no one wants to work there, open racism from a congressman is crazy.” “Then why marry an Indian brother,” and “Do you consider your in-laws as imports, Congressman? Have some shame,” wrote others. Despite his personal ties to an immigrant family, Gill is known for being vocal about his anti-immigration stance. First, he went to X to argue that immigration is not inherently beneficial because it is legal. In another post, he shared photos of California of 1960 and 2025, comparing the two and claiming that mass migration has made America “unrecognizable.” Interestingly, each of his posts on this issue is accompanied by a reminder of his wife’s immigrant roots.

मोरादाबाद काली माता मंदिर: उत्तर प्रदेश के मुरादाबाद जिले के मुगलपुरा इलाके में स्थित प्रसिद्ध लालबाग प्राचीन सिद्ध पीठ श्री काली माता मंदिर (मिश्री गिरी जी का टीला) में लंबे समय से चल रहे प्रबंधन विवाद पर अब बड़ा फैसला लिया गया है। श्री पंचदशनाम जूना अखाड़े ने सख्त कार्रवाई करते हुए मंदिर के पुराने महंतों को उनके पद से हटा दिया है और नई नियुक्तियां की हैं. यह बदलाव अखाड़े के अंतरराष्ट्रीय संरक्षक और अखाड़ा परिषद के महासचिव महंत हरि गिरि महाराज के निर्देश पर किया गया है. इस कार्रवाई के बाद मंदिर परिसर में भारी पुलिस बल की तैनाती के बीच नया प्रशासनिक ढांचा लागू कर दिया गया है.

लंबे विवाद के बाद अखाड़े का सख्त फैसला
मंदिर के प्रबंधन और कार्यशैली को लेकर काफी समय से विवाद चल रहा था। लोगों की लगातार मिल रही शिकायतों और अनुशासनहीनता के आरोपों के बाद अखाड़े ने यह कदम उठाया। महंत सज्जन गिरि और महंत राम गिरि का तत्काल प्रभाव से प्रयागराज तबादला कर दिया गया. जूना अखाड़े के प्रवक्ता महंत नारायण गिरि ने कहा कि इन महंतों को पहले भी कई बार सुधार के लिए नोटिस दिया गया था, लेकिन कोई सुधार नहीं हुआ.

रिपोर्ट के आधार पर लिया गया बड़ा फैसला
महंत नारायण गिरि के नेतृत्व में एक टीम ने पूरी स्थिति की जांच की थी और एक विस्तृत रिपोर्ट तैयार की थी. इसी रिपोर्ट के आधार पर अखाड़ा महासभा ने ये फैसला लिया. इसके बाद अखाड़ा दल भारी पुलिस बल की मौजूदगी में मंदिर पहुंचा और परिसर की पूरी कमान अपने हाथ में ले ली. नए प्रबंधकों व पुजारियों को जिम्मेदारी सौंपी गई और परंपरा के अनुसार पूजा-अर्चना भी की गई।

CDS signals consensus of services on theater commands, says structure still evolving

CDS signals consensus of services on theater commands, says structure still evolving

BENGALURU: Chief of Defense Staff General Anil Chauhan on Friday said India’s push towards a unified theater command has cleared its most significant hurdle – agreement in principle between the three services – but key questions on structure, sequencing and organization are still being worked out.Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of Ran Samvad 2026 in Bengaluru, Chouhan described the reform as “a big step”, noting that the Army, Navy and Air Force are united on the basic idea of ​​separating force generation from force application. “There is complete agreement on the concept,” he said, adding that details such as command location, structure and sequencing “can be resolved during implementation” and are not cast in stone.Chouhan acknowledged that the reforms involved voluntarily reducing the traditional authority of the service chiefs, a concession he described as significant. Calling it a more meaningful development than structural details, he said, “The service chiefs are willing to do this for the larger good of India.”The new joint headquarters will integrate operations, intelligence and logistics under a single structure. The existing regional commands will continue to be under the theater command for operations while being attached to the service headquarters for administrative purposes. Chauhan clarified that the Army’s proposed Integrated Battle Groups (IBGs) are completely separate, aimed at making ground combat units more agile and are unrelated to the theater command structure.On the theme of RAN dialogue, on multi-domain operations, Chauhan offered a more detailed view than currently reflected in doctrine. He argued that warfare has moved beyond physical spheres into synthetic and cognitive spheres, where shaping public perception can achieve political objectives without firing a single shot – pointing to ongoing conflicts where battlefield dominance has not translated into clear political outcomes.He also presented an original reformulation of U.S. Air Force strategist Colonel John Boyd’s OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) loop, suggesting that advances in predictive AI and data analytics could reverse the traditional sequence, allowing forces to orient and decide before observing, thereby compressing the decision cycle more than Boyd had imagined.Chauhan characterized time as the emerging fourth dimension of warfare, noting that modern battlefields now host systems running at vastly different speeds simultaneously, from slow-moving underwater platforms to almost instantaneous cyber intrusions, demanding new frameworks for understanding and command.On capability options, he was deliberately non-committal on debates such as the future of aircraft carriers versus submarines or tanks, arguing that the war was evolving too rapidly for firm long-term answers. He denied any shift towards expeditionary ambitions, reaffirming that securing India’s borders remains the primary focus, with foreign roles limited to humanitarian aid and UN missions.Terming the Ran Samvad as a deliberate reversal of the tradition of centering serving officers rather than veterans or think tanks, Chauhan said the seminar also acted as a diagnostic tool, giving him a ground-level insight into how deeply the culture of jointness has actually penetrated the three services.

उत्तरकाशी: धराली उत्तरकाशी में खीरगंगा पर मल्टी सेल बॉक्स कल्वर्ट ब्रिज बनाया जाएगा

पिछले साल अगस्त माह में धराली में तबाही मचाने वाली खीर गंगा नदी पर सीमा सड़क संगठन (बीआरओ) मल्टी सेल बॉक्स पुलिया पुल का निर्माण करेगा। 40 मीटर लंबे स्पान ब्रिज के लिए बीआरओ 24 मीटर जमीन का अधिग्रहण करेगा। इसके लिए बीआरओ ने राजस्व विभाग के अधिकारियों के साथ स्थलीय निरीक्षण किया।

पिछले साल पांच अगस्त को धराली में खीर गंगा में पानी और मलबे से आई विनाशकारी आपदा में गंगोत्री हाईवे समेत इमारतें और होटल करीब 25 फीट मलबे में दब गए थे। इसके बाद बीआरओ ने मलबा काटकर कच्ची सड़क बनाकर आवाजाही शुरू की। लेकिन बरसात के दौरान खीर गंगा के दोबारा उफान पर आने से सड़क के बह जाने का खतरा है. इसलिए वहां आवाजाही सुचारू रखने के लिए मल्टी सेल बॉक्स पुलिया पुल का निर्माण कराया जाएगा।

इसके लिए मंगलवार को बीआरओ और राजस्व विभाग के अधिकारियों ने ग्रामीणों के साथ भूमि सीमांकन आदि प्रक्रिया के तहत स्थलीय निरीक्षण किया। बीआरओ कमांडर राजकिशोर ने बताया कि धराली में ऑल वेदर रोड के तहत 12 मीटर भूमि अधिग्रहण का सर्वे हो चुका है। अब पुल निर्माण के लिए 12 मीटर अतिरिक्त जमीन का अधिग्रहण किया जाएगा। इसके लिए जल्द ही ग्रामीणों के साथ बैठक की जायेगी.
