Anita Anand, daughter of Indian immigrants, becomes Canada’s foreign minister
Anita Anand has made history as Canada’s first Hindu foreign minister. Prime Minister Mark Carney appointed her in a major Cabinet reshuffle. The former Defence Minister took her oath of office on the Bhagavad Gita, marking a significant milestone for Canada’s diverse political landscape.
An accomplished academic and politician, Anand entered politics in 2019 as MP for Oakville, Ontario. Her impressive career includes managing Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine procurement and overseeing military support to Ukraine as Defence Minister. Born to Indian immigrant doctors in Nova Scotia, she holds degrees from Dalhousie University, the University of Toronto, and Oxford University, and has taught at prestigious institutions including Yale University.
The appointment comes as part of Carney’s streamlined Cabinet, reduced from 39 to 29 ministers. While key economic positions remain unchanged, Anand replaces Melanie Joly, who moves to the industry ministry. This restructuring aims to strengthen Canada’s economic ties with the US and maintain its position among G7 nations.

IPL 2025 set to resume on May 17 after India-Pakistan ceasefire announcement
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that the TATA Indian Premier League 2025 will recommence on 17 May, following a week-long suspension due to military tensions between India and Pakistan.
The tournament’s restart will feature Royal Challengers Bengaluru versus Kolkata Knight Riders at Bengaluru. The final, originally scheduled for 25 May, has been pushed to 3 June. This 18th edition of the IPL marks the tournament’s first interruption due to military tensions between the neighbouring nations.

Virat Kohli retires from Tests, marks end of an era in Indian cricket
Former India captain Virat Kohli (36) announced his retirement from Test cricket via social media. The announcement comes ahead of India’s five-match Test series against England starting June 20.
Kohli ends his 14-year Test career with 9,230 runs from 123 matches at an average of 46.85, including 30 centuries. He ranks India’s fourth-highest Test run-scorer, behind Tendulkar, Dravid, and Gavaskar.
