YouTuber Dhruv Rathee expands reach with regional language channels including Kannada
Popular YouTuber and influential social media figure, Dhruv Rathee, has extended his digital footprint by launching his YouTube channel in five prominent Indian regional languages. Widely recognized for his informative videos covering a spectrum of social, political, and environmental subjects in Hindi, Dhruv's latest endeavor aims to cater to a broader audience base across the country.
The newly inaugurated YouTube channels, introduced on Thursday, April 18, will feature dubbed versions of Dhruv's Hindi videos in Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada, and Marathi. Among the initial offerings on these channels is the translated rendition of his recent viral video titled, “Is India becoming a dictatorship?”
Originally released in February, the aforementioned video garnered substantial attention, amassing over 24 million views. It delved into contentious topics such as the Chandigarh mayoral election, the ongoing farmers' protest, and voiced apprehensions regarding the trajectory of India's democracy. Drawing comparisons to regimes like North Korea, the video also scrutinized the functioning of India's Election Commission, raising concerns about the state of democracy under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.
However, the video's critical stance attracted criticism from supporters of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with some dismissing Dhruv's perspective due to his residence in Germany. In response, Dhruv addressed BJP supporters, urging them to approach the video with an open mind. He emphasized that personal attacks on him were merely distractions, urging viewers to focus on the underlying issues at hand. “The real issue is something very serious if you truly care about the nation. Wake up!” he asserted.
Launching in 5 Indian Languages today!

Leopard strays into house near Bengaluru family locks it inside
Bengaluru, Apr 3 (PTI): A family in Jigani on the outskirts of Bengaluru had a close encounter with a leopard that wandered into their home on Thursday morning. Acting swiftly, they locked the big cat inside and escaped unhurt, a forest official confirmed.
The incident occurred at Pilla Reddy Layout, where Venkatesh, his wife Venkatalakshmi, and their son Nikhil reside in a rented house.
Jigani, located near the forested Bannerghatta National Park, frequently sees wildlife movement, including leopards and elephants, the forest official added.
As the family prepared for the day, they were startled to find the leopard inside their home.
Overcoming their initial panic, they managed to rush out and secure the door from the outside.
Venkatesh then alerted neighbours and informed the police and forest department.
A forest team promptly arrived, tranquilised the animal, and safely caged it.
Meanwhile, a large crowd gathered to witness the rescue operation.
Police were deployed to maintain order and prevent any untoward incidents.
