Josh Hazlewood clinically dismantled a famed Indian top-order with a probing spell to kill the contest as Australia cantered to a four-wicket victory in the second T20 International here on Friday. In front of a 82,438 strong crowd, India suffered one of its most embarrassing defeats with as many as nine batters failing to reach double digits in a total of 125 in 18.4 overs. Only Abhishek Sharma, in the form of his life, stood tall amid ruins with a combative 37-ball-68. With Harshit Rana (35 off 33 balls) he added 56 to take the total past 100-run mark after pacer Hazlewood (3/13) left them reeling at 49 for 5.

As Bihar heads into another election, voices from its poorest settlements speak of ration lines, lost pensions, and the quiet persistence of democracy. The story of Bihar’s marginalised emerges most clearly in the heart of the state, where the Ganga’s plains turn to cracked earth during summer. Here live the Musahar and Manjhi communities, among the most marginalised Dalit groups in India. Traditionally landless labourers, they have for generations worked in others’ fields, cutting paddy, carrying bricks, and surviving on daily wages. Though official records list them as beneficiaries of countless welfare schemes, their lives are marked by chronic poverty, poor access to healthcare, and dependence on a ration card that barely sustains them.
