ASHINGTON – Amish Shah, son of Gujarati immigrants, defeated Republican Jay Feely in Arizona, becoming the state’s first Indian-American elected to Congress. The 48-year-old emergency physician beat the former NFL kicker, backed by President Donald Trump, in Arizona’s First Congressional District. Shah led 53 per cent to 46 per cent when outlets called the race. His victory flips a Republicanheld seat and brings IndianAmerican representation in the incoming House to six. “I’m honoured and humbled

that the people of Arizona’s First Congressional District have chosen me to represent them in Congress,” Shah said, pledging to serve voters and work across party lines. The rivals share an unusual connection: both worked with the Jets in 2008. Feely played for the team, while Shah provided emergency medical care on the sidelines. Born and raised in Chicago, Shah’s parents, engineering students, migrated from India in 1969. His father is Jain and his mother Hindu. Fluent in Gujarati, he maintains close ties with India and cited Mahatma Gandhi’s Sabarmati Ashram as an inspiration for public service. Shah earned his medical degree

at Northwestern University and a public health master’s at the University of California, Berkeley. He won three Arizona House elections before narrowly losing his first congressional bid to Republican David Schweikert in 2024. He returned after Schweikert left to run for governor, campaigning on living costs, healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid and opposition to Trump’s tariffs. Shah joins Ami Bera, Ro Khanna, Pramila Jayapal, Suhas Subramanyam and newcomer Pia Dandiya in the informal “Samosa Caucus”. The new Congress convenes January 3, 2027, with Democrats controlling the House after November 3 midterm elections.

VISAKHAPATNAM – The fifth India-US tri-service Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief exercise, Tiger Triumph 2026, concluded in Visakhapatnam on November 5, strengthening coordination for amphibious disaster-response operations. Held from November 2 to 5, the exercise brought together personnel for operational planning, expert exchanges and tabletop simulations focused on emergencies. The Indian Navy said discussions covered cyberspace and medical operations, alongside integrated planning and simulations to improve coordination during combined humanitarian missions.

Participants also practised Combined Joint All-Domain Operations through staff planning and specialised training in command, control, cyber and space synchronisation. The US Pacific Fleet said the exercise reinforced the partnership, readiness and interoperability, demonstrating both forces’ capabilities across the Indo-Pacific. India’s Defence Ministry said the exercise reflected converging maritime interests and an expanding defence partnership. The series began in 2019. US Pacific Fleet Vice Commander Rear Admiral Joaquin Martinez de Pinillos said training strengthened coordination and prepared forces to respond to regional crises and disasters.

NEW DELHI – Former IMF chief economist Gita Gopinath warned the AI boom could face a valuation correction as companies struggle to recover investments. Speaking on Raj Shamani’s podcast, she said a correction was likely. Nearly $1 trillion is projected for AI development in 2026. Gopinath warned weak returns could hurt the US economy, potentially pushing growth to zero or below. She cited Nvidia’s investments in AI laboratories that buy its chips, warning a laboratory’s collapse could affect the company. She urged young professionals to avoid “cognitive surrender” and develop independent problemsolving skills instead of blindly relying on AI tools.

excludes human papillomavirusassociated oropharyngeal cancer. Approval was based on the phase Ib/II OrigAMI-4 trial of 102 patients. The overall response rate was 42%, including complete responses in 15%; 56% of responders maintained responses for at least six months. Currently approved therapies yield limited responses. Amivantamab targets EGFR and MET. Prescribing information warns of

hypersensitivity and administration-related reactions, interstitial lung disease/ pneumonitis, dermatologic reactions, ocular toxicity, and embryo-fetal toxicity. Continued approval may depend on confirmatory results from the ongoing phase III OrigAMI-5 trial, evaluating amivantamab with carboplatin and pembrolizumab as firstline treatment for recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer.

India Plans Diesel Refining Boost by 2027

COVID-19 RT-PCR Testing

ndia is advancing plans to strengthen its position as a global energy hub, with a blueprint to add 16.5 million tonnes of annual diesel refining capacity by 2027. The proposed expansion would increase the country’s ability to process fuel for domestic consumption and overseas markets, reinforcing the role of refining in its broader energy ambitions. Additional capacity could help meet demand from transport, industry and agriculture while creating scope for higher exports. However, the impact will depend on project completion, refinery utilisation and market conditions

when the new capacity becomes available. The 2027 target sets a clear timeline for the planned increase. Delivering it would mark a

further step in India’s effort to expand its refining footprint and strengthen its position in international fuel supply chains over the coming years.

its major milestone came on August 12, 2012 when it entered interstellar space. Fourteen years after that milestone, the spacecraft is now truly in interstellar space, becoming the first one to escape the empire of the Sun. Both Voyager 1 and 2 have onboard a phonograph record, a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk each containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. This is in the hope that some day another advanced civilization may come across one of them and manage to play the phonograph record to know more about Earth’s civilization. The Voyager 1 mission was designed to last for five years, and its main objectives were to study Jupiter and Saturn, both of which its completed with great success. The fact that it has lasted nearly ten times that original period illustrates how deep space holds surprises and how human technology often far surpasses its

My personal sojourn with Voyager 1 since 1977

have been tracking the progress of Voyagers almost since their inception, first as a 16-year-old in Ahmedabad and then as a journalist working out of Mumbai, New Delhi, San Francisco, New York and eventually Chicago. With the advent of the internet, it has become easier in the last 30 years to know exactly where the two spacecraft are. I was particularly interested in two milestones. One was when it reached interstellar space and the other it covered the distance

*NOTICE *NOTICE

t 5.16 a.m. EST on November 18, NASA’s Voyager 1 will achieve the unique distinction of being the first spacecraft to be one lightday away from Earth. At about 26 billion kilometers or 16 billion miles from Earth, the spacecraft will be at a distance from which light or radio signals take 24 hours to travel one way. A two-way communication between NASA and Voyager 1 now takes about 48 hours. Quite remarkably, while it took Voyager 1, launched on September 17, 1977, 49 years to travel that far, for light it still takes just one day to cover it. It is this magical dichotomy that makes space travel so fascinating. The spacecraft is moving at a velocity of 61,198.15 kilometers per hour or 38,026.79 miles per hour. A light-year is a unit of distance in space where light covers 9.46 trillion kilometers or 5.88 trillion miles in one year. Voyager 1’s long journey has been marked by several firsts including its discovery of a thin ring around Jupiter and two new Jovian moons: Thebe and Metis, its discovery of five new moons and a new ring called the G-ring around Saturn, it becoming the first spacecraft to cross the heliosphere, the boundary where the influences from outside our solar system are stronger than those from the Sun, and becoming is the first human-made object to venture into interstellar space, which is the space between two star systems. Running on nuclear power, the spacecraft’s energy supply is diminishing. On April 17, engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California sent commands to shut down an instrument aboard Voyager 1 called the Low-energy Charged Particles experiment, or LECP, in order to preserve its fuel to keep it going as it travels deeper into interstellar space. The LECP had been operating since its launch in 1977. “The instrument has provided critical data about the structure of the interstellar medium, detecting pressure fronts and regions of varying particle density in the space beyond our heliosphere,” NASA said. “Engineers are confident that shutting down the LECP will give Voyager 1 about a year of breathing room. They are using the time to finalize a more ambitious energysaving fix for both Voyagers they call “the Big Bang,” which is designed to further extend Voyager operations. The idea is to swap out a group of powered devices all at once — hence the nickname — turning some things off and replacing them with lower-power alternatives to keep the spacecraft warm enough to continue gathering science data,” it said. Apart from its spectacular fly-bys of Jupiter and Saturn on March 5, 1979, and November 12, 1980, respectively,

PHOENIX, AZ — The Indian Seniors Association of Arizona (ISAA) celebrated Diwali and its 15th anniversary on November 3 at La Princesa Hall, bringing members together for prayers, music, dancing and a festive luncheon. Dressed in colourful ethnic attire, seniors renewed friendships and reflected on the organisation’s journey. Members also posed for commemorative group photographs. A commemorative booklet featured greetings from donors and members under the theme, “Together in celebration, united in spirit.” Malay Biswal and Ajay Chaurasia led the opening prayers, invoking Lord Ganesh and Goddess Saraswati. Narayanbhai Ojha offered Diwali blessings, welcoming the festival and the association’s anniversary as a double celebration. Welcoming members, Jitubhai C. Patel highlighted the fellowship sustained through nearly 800 Tuesday gatherings since ISAA’s founding on September 6, 2011. “We celebrate this togetherness rather than anything else,” he said. A pictorial presentation traced the association’s history, including its travels, tours and community service. Patel said ISAA had donated more than $60,000 over the years, besides contributing essential supplies such as

‘What a wonderful achievement’: PM Modi hails India reaching 100 chess grandmasters COVID-19 RT-PCR Testing

NEW DELHI – Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday congratulated Anuj Shrivatri on becoming India’s 100th chess Grandmaster, calling the achievement a milestone reflecting the country’s talent, dedication and growing interest in the sport among youngsters. “India has hit a century in chess! Exceptional, isn’t it? India is now home to a hundred chess Grandmasters!” Modi wrote on X, recognising the hard work of Indian players. The Prime Minister said reaching the 100-Grandmaster mark demonstrated the immense talent and commitment of chess players across the country. He welcomed young players from different regions gaining recognition internationally. Modi hoped Shrivatri’s success would motivate more youngsters to take up chess and pursue excellence. He described the milestone as a reflection of the sport’s growing popularity among India’s youth.

seven points from nine rounds, finishing half a point ahead of Vietnam’s Nguyen Duc Hoa. After losing his opening game, Shrivatri recovered strongly, recording six wins and two draws in his remaining eight rounds. His victory against Australia’s James Morris in the final round secured the tournament title and the Grandmaster milestone. The achievement brings India’s total number of chess Grandmasters to 100 and highlights the emergence of talent from different parts of the country. Modi said the milestone could inspire more youngsters to take up chess and make their mark internationally. Modi said it was heartening to see young talents emerge nationwide and make their mark globally. He wished Shrivatri well and said the achievement should encourage others to pursue chess seriously. The championship win followed a comeback across eight rounds after his opening defeat.

Local chapters organize food assistance, clothing drives and blanket donations for underserved communities. AAPI’s Ayurveda Consortium is preparing a proposed academic collaboration with India’s Ministry of AYUSH. The memorandum of understanding has not been signed. Medavaram said the proposed partnership would support education, physician training, faculty exchanges and evidence-based research in Ayurveda and yoga. In the United States, AAPI’s advocacy addresses physician workforce development, patient access, medical education and healthcare delivery. Its educational programs also emphasize preventive care and chronic disease management. Dr. Vijay Maurya, chair of AAPI’s board of trustees, stressed member participation and cooperation between leaders and local chapters. “I see AAPI continuing to grow despite having many challenges,” he said. Through these initiatives, AAPI leaders say they aim to strengthen professional engagement while extending the association’s service to communities in both countries.

Related workshops and community programs emphasize CPR training for healthcare workers, students and the public. The association’s humanitarian activities include support for families affected by floods in Nepal. AAPI said members and supporters donated $30,000 toward relief efforts this year, with an equal contribution from the organization bringing the total to $60,000.

ASHINGTON, DC – The number of people identifying solely as Asian Indian in the United States reached an estimated 5.41 million in 2025, making them the country’s largest single Asian group, according to American Community Survey estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau on October 29. The population increased by more than 315,000, or approximately 6.2 percent, from 5.09 million in 2024. Asian Indians represented about 1.6 percent of the estimated 341.8 million U.S. population. Under this measure, the Asian Indian population exceeded the Chinese population, excluding Taiwanese, which numbered approximately 4.65 million. However, the ranking changes when people identifying with multiple racial or ethnic groups are included.
