Union Minister Babul Supriyo stirred a controversy after he threatened to "break a man's leg" during a public event in West Bengal's Asansol city on Tuesday.Interestingly, Supriyo was invited at Samajik Adhikarita Shivir, an event organised to donate wheelchairs and other equipment for the differently-abled people.While speaking at the event, the singer-turned-politician initially got miffed at someone from the public and said, "Why are you moving? Please sit down."The controversial statement came when Supriyo reportedly lost his cool after a man distracted the former with his continuous movement. The Union Minister snapped back at the man, saying, "What happened to you? Any problem? I can break one of your legs and can give you a crutch."Supriyo then ordered his security personnel to break the man's leg and hand him a crutch if he dared to move further from his place.

Four new personality types identified

Scientists have identified at least four new distinct personality types -- average, reserved, self-centred and role model -- after sifting through data from over 1.5 million people across the globe. The findings, published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, could be of interest to hiring managers and mental health care providers. "People have tried to classify personality types since Hippocrates' time, but previous scientific literature has found that to be nonsense," said William Revelle, a professor at Northwestern University in the US. "Now, these data show there are higher densities of certain personality types," said Revelle. The concept of personality types remains controversial in psychology, with hard scientific proof difficult to find. Previous attempts based on small research groups created results that often were not replicable. "Personality types only existed in self-help literature and did not have a place in scientific journals," said Luis Amaral, a professor at ...

RSS misinterpreted as dictatorial organisation: Mohan Bhagwat

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) supremo Mohan Bhagwat on Monday said that people often misinterpret the RSS as a dictatorial organisation; however, he added that it does not try to impose its ideologies on anyone."The work that RSS does is unique. Whatever it does is incomparable. In order to understand RSS, one needs to start with Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, who was the founder of the Sangh. Without knowing him, it's difficult to understand the Sangh. We call him a nationalist by birth," Bhagwat said on the opening day of 'Bhavishya ka Bharat' - a three-day lecture series organised by the RSS in the national capital.Bhagwat said the lecture series has been organised so that people can understand the RSS better."I am here to engage with you all and not to convince. People often misunderstand RSS... The Sangh does not impose its ideology on anyone. Whenever people see events of the Sangh, they see a man giving orders. So, people think that RSS is a dictatorial organisation," he ...
