Wikipedia Removes 'Propaganda' Label for Dhurandhar: The Revenge Wikipedia has removed the designation of "propaganda film" from the 2026 movie Dhurandhar: The Revenge, following a contentious debate among editors about the accuracy of the label. The change came after discussions between authorized users and contributors questioned whether minority opinions about the film were being overemphasized. The revised Wikipedia entry now describes the film as a "2026 Indian Hindi-language spy action-thriller film written and directed by Aditya Dhar." Despite the removal of the "propaganda" label, both the Wikipedia pages for Dhurandhar and its sequel Dhurandhar: The Revenge remain locked under "extended confirmed protection." This restriction limits edits to users with verified accounts, administrators, and automated systems, preventing unauthorized or potentially biased modifications. Wikipedia employs such protections to safeguard contentious topics from tampering by unverified contributors or malicious actors. The Dhurandhar duology, starring Ranveer Singh, was widely praised for its cinematography, storyline, music, and ability to engage audiences across India. However, critics have accused the films of promoting Islamophobia or aligning with the Bharatiya Janata Party and government narratives. The controversy surrounding the films has sparked debates about the balance between artistic expression and political messaging. The decision to remove the "propaganda" label reflects Wikipedia’s ongoing efforts to address conflicting viewpoints while maintaining editorial neutrality. The site’s policies emphasize the importance of factual accuracy and preventing the spread of misinformation, even as it navigates complex cultural and political discussions.#aditya_dhar #ranveer_singh #dhurandhar_the_revenge #bharatiya_janata_party #wikipedia
Stock Market Crash: Investors Lose Rs 12 Lakh Crore In An Hour As Geopolitical Tensions Drive Market Decline Indian benchmark indices, including the Sensex and Nifty, opened sharply lower on Monday as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East intensified, triggering a massive sell-off. Within the first hour of trading, investors lost approximately Rs 11.78 trillion, with the market capitalisation of all BSE-listed companies dropping to Rs 416.98 trillion at 10:23 am. This marked a significant decline from Rs 428.76 trillion recorded at Friday’s close. The sell-off affected nearly all sectors, reflecting widespread panic rather than isolated profit-taking. The primary driver of the crash is the escalating conflict in the Middle East, now in its fourth week. Rising tensions between the United States and Iran have heightened global market fears, particularly concerning the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. The uncertainty surrounding this region has led investors to withdraw from equities and shift toward safer assets. Analysts noted that the market’s sharp reaction underscores the growing sensitivity of Indian markets to geopolitical risks. Crude oil prices have further exacerbated the situation. Brent Crude and WTI Crude prices surged over 50% this month, reaching $112.94 and $99.23 per barrel, respectively. The International Energy Agency warned that the current crisis could rival the oil shocks of the 1970s. Higher oil prices are pushing inflation expectations upward, increasing input costs for companies, and straining profit margins. For an import-dependent economy like India, this has added significant pressure on both corporate and consumer sectors. The Indian rupee also hit a record low of 94 against the US dollar, breaking its previous low of 93.7350.#middle_east #us_iran_conflict #brent_crude #indian_rupee #wikipedia
