The order does not ban those vaccines, and families can still obtain them. Trump is also urging states to reconsider vaccination requirements for school attendance. However, states establish their own school vaccine mandates, so the executive order cannot automatically change those requirements. The White House says the changes are intended to expand parental choice and align U.S. practices with other developed countries. The administration is also calling for additional vaccine safety and effectiveness studies. The policy is expected to face legal, political and scientific scrutiny as federal agencies begin determining how the order will be implemented.

University. Tech entrepreneur Shubhi Rao, 59, founder and CEO of data platform Uplevyl, rounds out the group. The impact of Indian American women extends beyond technology. Venture capitalist Asha Jadeja Motwani, 63, earned a place on the Impact list for her work supporting entrepreneurs through the Motwani Jadeja Family Foundation and strengthening innovation ties between the United States and India. On the Investment list, Bank of America executive Savita Subramanian was recognized for her leadership as Head of U.S. Equity and Quantitative Strategy. Meanwhile, 56-year-old Komal Shah secured a spot on the Lifestyle list. After immigrating from India to study computer science at Stanford, she transitioned from Silicon Valley engineering to philanthropy. Through the Shah Garg Foundation, she champions female artists and works to address gender disparities in major museums. Together, these women reflect the growing influence of Indian Americans across industries. Their achievements underscore how education, innovation, and community engagement continue to open doors and inspire future generations of women in business, technology, finance, and social impact.

ALABAMA - Indian American Hanu Karlapalem, the Democratic nominee for Alabama House District 4, has called on state Republican leadership to publicly disavow personal attacks directed at his heritage by a local conservative political figure. Online comments made by Tom Fredricks, a Priceville businessman and former NASA engineer, referred to India’s caste system. He insisted Karlapalem should disavow his Indian lineage before discussing his civil rights advocacy. Fredricks tagged Karlapalem in his comments. Fredricks, runs a retail store that served as Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign headquarters in North Alabama. He has himself sought state legislative office three times, including losing to incumbent Republican Rep. Parker Moore in the 2018 primary. Fredricks also posted a video clip mocking Karlapalem’s racial identity during an online exchange. Karlapalem is a naturalized American citizen. Karlapalem stated that remaining silent on divisive rhetoric reflects a broader refusal by the state’s legislative majority to engage constructively with constituents. Silence is a choice, this isn’t an isolated incident — it’s part of a pattern from Alabama’s Republican supermajority” he said.

Indian-Origin Grandmother Detained by ICE After COVID Delay NORTH CAROLINE - A North Carolina teacher and longtime green-card holder was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) this week, months after an immigration judge dismissed an effort to remove her from the country, according to her attorney, NRI Pulse reported. Venkata Vasamsetty, a lawful permanent resident since 2013, was taken into custody during a scheduled ICE check-in despite a judge’s May ruling terminating the government’s previous deportation case. Newsweek reported that ICE’s Online Detainee Locator System showed Vasamsetty being held at a detention facility in Georgia as of Friday. The case originated from government allegations that Vasamsetty had abandoned her permanent residency after spending several months in India in 2022, where she cared for an ailing parent and recovered from COVID-19. Her family and attorney disputed that claim, saying she maintained substantial U.S. ties through her family, employment and home.

NEW YORK, NY— The death of an 18-year-old Indian student during a family holiday in New York has become the focus of a major legal battle and renewed calls to ban horsedrawn carriages in the city. The family of Romanch Mahajan has filed legal notices seeking $105 million in compensation from the New York City government, alleging that stray electrical current in Central Park caused the horse pulling their carriage to bolt, resulting in the teenager’s death. The notices, filed against the city and four of its departments, are a preliminary step toward a lawsuit. The family alleges that negligence by city authorities allowed dangerous electrical conditions to exist and contributed to the June 17 tragedy. Mahajan, a resident of Pathankot in Punjab, had recently completed Class 12 at Angel’s Public School and was preparing to begin college. His family had travelled to New York to celebrate his graduation and spend time together before the next chapter of his education. The tragedy occurred during a horse-drawn carriage ride in Central

Badminton WC: Extremely happy with the way Ayush Shetty played the winning shot, RT-PCR coach Sagar Chopda COVID-19 Testing New Delhi, Aug 17 (IANS) It was a nervy finish, but Ayush Shetty hit a stunning winner in the deciding third game to knock out defending champion and World No 1 Shi Yu Qi in the opening round of the BWF World Championships at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi on Monday. With Shi closing in on Shetty, saving four match points, Ayush pulled off a deceptive net flick, shaping to go to the Chinese star’s forehand side, then changing the direction at the last possible moment to hit the shuttle the other way. “I am extremely happy with the way Ayush played that last shot. I mean, to play that at that moment speaks volumes of his talent,” Shetty’s coach Sagar Chopda told BAI’s YouTube channel in a post-match breakdown. “He has always been good at that shot. If you look throughout the match, he played it at least three or four times, even on the first service receiving. You know, in the third game, he started with that shot. And again, in the third game, he played that one more time. So he has always been good at that shot. It is something that, as kids, maybe you pick it up. It’s not that, as coaches, you can teach them this.” “If he had probably kept the shuttle at the net, Shi was ready for it. And that is how Shi scored almost all his 10 previous points. He was much

Chicago Indian-Americans Pay Heartfelt Tribute to Kala Oza CHICAGO, IL - Chicago’s IndianAmerican community is mourning the passing of Kala Oza, beloved wife of longtime Chicago news media journalist and photographer Jayanti Oza. She was 79. Kala Oza passed away on August 8, 2026, following a sudden deterioration in her health. She had been hospitalized at Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, where medical professionals made dedicated efforts to treat her. Despite their care and her courageous struggle, she could not overcome her illness. Her cremation was held on August 9 at DuPage Cremations Funeral Chapel in West Chicago. A large gathering of family members, friends, well-wishers, and representatives of several senior community organizations attended the final rites to offer their respects. Among them were members of Bharatiya Seniors, Indian Seniors of Chicago, United Senior Pariwar, and Universal Metropolitan Adult Seniors. Kala Oza is survived by her husband, Jayanti Oza; son, Bharat Oza; daughters, Kiran and Dipti Oza; son-in-law, Ajay Dalwadi; and grandchildren Akash, Mahin, Abhi, Elon, and Aryana.

A prayer and memorial meeting was held on August 11 at India Hub in Schaumburg, Illinois. Family members, friends, community leaders, and well-wishers gathered to remember Kala Oza, offer condolences, and celebrate the memories she leaves behind. Chicago singers Ujjwal Shukla, Mihir Acharya, Rita Patel, and Rashila Dobriya presented devotional bhajans as a heartfelt musical tribute and farewell. During the memorial, BSC President Haribhai Patel, TV Asia Bureau Chief Vandana Jhingan, Yashaswini Desai, and members of the Oza family shared emotional memories and words of tribute, reflecting on Kala Oza’s life and her
