'Gay Marriages Cause Earthquakes': Bihar Journalist On Camera | WATCH

A video of a Bihar journalist is going viral and has created a fresh storm online. Recently, Kanhaiya Bhelari was in the news for saying that married daughters should stay away from their parents’ homes. Now, in a new clip, he makes an even more shocking claim.  During a show on the YouTube channel Lallantop, Bhelari says that earthquakes happen because boys marry boys and girls marry girls. When scientific facts were explained to him, he refused to accept them, which has left many people stunned. Kanhaiya Bhelari Viral Video: His Comments On Same-Sex Marriage The main controversy in this viral video is centred on Bhelari’s comments about same-sex marriage: gay marriage, lesbian marriage, and homosexual relationships. He says that today it has become common for boys to marry boys and girls to marry girls, and according to him, this is wrong.  "Earthquake happens because of Gay people"~ Kanhaiya Bhelari, Congressi journalist pic.twitter.com/bCgbNOPZPC — Ankur Singh (@iAnkurSingh) November 22, 2025 When he is asked what problem he has if adults are happy in their relationship, he gives a surprising explanation. He says that these relationships are the reason why earthquakes occur. Even after the journalist clearly explains how earthquakes actually happen due to natural geological activity, Bhelari becomes more rigid. He says that just because society is becoming modern does not mean people should accept everything.  His refusal to accept scientific reasoning has shocked viewers and led to massive debate across social media. Kanhaiya Bhelari's Earlier Remarks Also Caused Backlash This new clip comes soon after Bhelari faced criticism from Lalu Yadav’s daughter, Rohini Acharya.  On November 18, she strongly opposed his comment that married daughters should visit their parents’ homes only on special occasions and should not interfere in their father’s family matters.  Rohini publicly questioned who gave him the right to decide on women’s rights and even shared a phone conversation on social media. With his latest statement on gay marriage, Bhelari has once again found himself at the centre of a major controversy.

Gautam Adani Pledges Rs 100 Crore For Bharat Knowledge Graph To Boost Indology Research

Gautam Adani recently pledged Rs 100 crore to develop the Bharat Knowledge Graph, a digital framework designed to preserve, organise, and modernise India's civilisational knowledge systems for the age of Artificial Intelligence. The Adani Group chairman made the announcement at the inaugural Adani Global Indology Conclave in Ahmedabad. The initiative was hosted jointly by the Adani Group and the Ministry of Education’s Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS). Spread across three days, the conclave brought together scholars, technologists, policymakers and spiritual leaders to examine how India’s intellectual traditions can be strengthened through modern research and digital tools.  A Digital Push for India’s Knowledge Heritage Announcing the commitment, Gautam Adani said, “As a beginning, I am humbled to announce a founding contribution of Rs 100 crore towards building the Bharat Knowledge Graph and supporting the scholars and technologists who will contribute to this Indology mission. This is the repayment of a civilisational debt.” The Bharat Knowledge Graph aims to serve as a comprehensive knowledge architecture that captures India’s contributions across disciplines, from astronomy and mathematics to governance, linguistics and philosophy. Designed to be compatible with evolving AI technologies, the platform is intended to ensure that India’s intellectual heritage is not just preserved but actively used in contemporary learning, research and global scholarship. The conclave’s guest of honour, Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati, Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, underlined the significance of such efforts. “When I assumed the position of Shankaracharya, I had said that my role would become meaningful only when India becomes the Vishwaguru (global teacher). And today, Gautam Adani ji’s initiative is a major support to that very dream of mine,” he said. Research, Revivals and the Role of Technology A key focus area of the conclave is addressing how India’s civilisational frameworks can be protected at a time when digital systems increasingly shape human behaviour.  Adani cautioned that “if a civilization does not actively defend its cultural and emotional frameworks, human behaviour will bend, not towards culture or tradition, but towards the cold logic of the machine’s algorithms,” adding that such a transformation could subtly influence how future generations interpret their own history and identity. To build academic capacity, the Adani Group and IKS are supporting a five‑year programme for 14 PhD scholars across institutions such as IITs, IIMs and universities with strong Indology and classical studies departments. Their research spans Paninian grammar, computational linguistics, ancient astronomy, indigenous healthcare systems, sustainability principles in traditional engineering, political thought and classical literature. Project leaders said the scholars were selected through a rigorous national consultation and will work on integrating classical knowledge frameworks with modern methodologies such as data science, systems thinking and multimodal archiving. The aim is to make India’s civilisational knowledge more accessible and future-ready while maintaining academic rigour. (This copy has been produced by the Infotainment Desk)

Meta Is Changing How It Rates Employees: ‘AI-Driven Impact’ Is No Longer Optional

Meta has sent a clear new message to its employees: if you want to grow in the company, you must use artificial intelligence in your work. Starting next year, staff performance will slowly be tied to something Meta calls “AI-driven impact.”  An internal memo obtained by Business Insider shows that Janelle Gale, Meta’s Head of People, told employees that AI use will become a core expectation from 2026. The company wants every employee to show how they are using AI to work faster, smarter, and more efficiently. Meta Performance Reviews To Include AI-Driven Impact According to the memo, Meta will begin checking how effectively employees use AI to deliver results and build tools that improve productivity. Employees are getting one year to adjust.  In 2025, AI metrics won’t officially appear in performance reviews, but workers are encouraged to include examples of “AI-fuelled wins” in their self-evaluations. Gale wrote that in 2025, employees who show strong AI-driven impact, either in their own work or in their team’s performance, could earn better ratings or bonuses. By 2026, “AI-driven impact” will become a formal part of appraisals. To support this shift, Meta is rolling out an AI Performance Assistant. It will help employees write performance reviews and feedback. This system will connect with Meta’s internal AI bot Metamate and can also use tools like Google’s Gemini to draft summaries.  Business Insider earlier reported that employees were already using internal AI tools to prepare reviews, and now Meta is making this official. Meta Builds An AI-First Workplace Culture Meta is not the only tech giant moving in this direction. Microsoft has told managers that using AI is now “non-optional,” while Google CEO Sundar Pichai has said AI adoption is key for staying ahead. Amazon has also begun reshaping its internal and retail processes to include AI at every level. Meta has been taking its own steps to build an AI-first culture. It now allows job candidates to use AI during coding interviews. It also launched “Level Up,” an internal programme encouraging employees to use AI tools more often. Inside Meta, AI is already part of daily work, from writing emails through Metamate to analysing product performance with AI dashboards. Gale said the company wants to reward people who help push Meta into its AI-driven future.
