The Bengali signs honor East London's Bangladeshi community, celebrating cultural diversity and attracting global attention.

Bilingual Signs at Whitechapel Spark Debate

Debate over bilingual signs at Whitechapel station in London

The installation of bilingual signs at London's Whitechapel Station has sparked a debate, prompted by MP Rupert Lowe's call for English-only signage.

A bilingual sign at Whitechapel Station in London has sparked debate, with UK MP Rupert Lowe calling for exclusive English signage. The Great Yarmouth MP shared a photo of the English and Bengali sign on X, criticizing the use of multiple languages. His remarks gained attention, drawing a supportive response from tech mogul Elon Musk, who simply commented, "Yes."&nbsp;
Rupert Lowe, the MP for Great Yarmouth, shared a photo of the bilingual sign at Whitechapel Station on his official X account, stating: "This is London- the station name should be in English, and English only." Lowe, a member of Reform UK, made the remark on Sunday, prompting widespread discussion online.
His post quickly went viral, attracting a response from tech mogul Elon Musk, who commented with a simple "Yes." Musk, a notable figure aligned with former US President Donald Trump, had recently suggested that Nigel Farage should be replaced as the leader of Reform UK, seeming to endorse Lowe's stance.
Musk has previously sought to influence British politics and has criticised Prime Minister Keir Starmer repeatedly since anti-immigration riots last summer. He backed calls for a national inquiry into the handling of cases of rape by men of Pakistani heritage of underage girls by the government's prosecution service which Starmer previously ran.
Some social media users echoed Lowe's sentiment, while others defended the multilingual signs. The Bengali signage, introduced in 2022, honors the significant contributions of the Bangladeshi community in East London. This initiative, funded by Tower Hamlets Council, aims to celebrate the area's rich cultural diversity.&nbsp;
Home to the UK's largest Bangladeshi community, Whitechapel showcases this cultural recognition. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee lauded the move on X, highlighting the global importance of the Bengali language and advocating for cultural unity among the diaspora. "It is a victory of our culture and heritage," she noted.

Explore the story behind a historic garland from the Indian independence era, worn by Gandhi during the 1930 Dandi March. Though it remained unsold at auction, its significance in India's struggle for freedom continues to resonate.

Gandhi's Garland: Unsold at UK Auction

An iconic garland worn by Mahatma Gandhi during the 1930 Dandi March was recently unsold in a UK auction. Despite its historical value, it didn’t meet its guide price. This artifact symbolizes the fight against British colonial rule in India.

The garland is composed of a large teardrop-shaped medallion of pink cloth backed on card, applied with silver and gold thread and sequins in an elaborate decorative pattern.

A tinselled garland presented to and worn by Mahatma Gandhi during the iconic Dandi March of the Indian freedom struggle in 1930 remains open for bids after it failed to meet its GBP 20-30,000 guide price estimate at a UK auction this week.
The garland, in folded paper wrappers inscribed in Gujarati, is said to have been presented as the Salt March passed near the Ahmedabad home of Gandhi&rsquo;s personal physician Dr Balvantrai N Kanuga and was offered by his wife, Nanduben Kanuga. It came up for auction as part of an &lsquo;Islamic and Indian Art&rsquo; sale by Lyon &amp; Turnbull in London on Wednesday.
&ldquo;I am very surprised that the &lsquo;Gandhi Garland&rsquo; did not find a home on the day of the auction,&rdquo; said Kristina Sanne, Head of Sale at the auction house specialising in fine arts and antiques.
&ldquo;That said, we have had quite a lot of interest since the sale and hope to sell it to the highest bidder. It deserves a great home,&rdquo; she said.
The garland is composed of a large teardrop-shaped medallion of pink cloth backed on card, applied with silver and gold thread and sequins in an elaborate decorative pattern. It is edged with gold tinsel, with four smaller rectangular medallions and two triangular medallions similarly decorated and all connected with gold threads to form a necklace.
It passed on through descent from the collection of the late Dr Balvantrai N Kanuga, who along with his wife spent extensive periods at Mahatma Gandhi&rsquo;s Sabarmati Ashram as fellow satyagrahis. An amateur photograph of Gandhi being presented with the garland is inscribed on the reserve to read: &ldquo;Gandhiji Nanduben Kanuga. On the day of Dandi March. At Bungalow 12th March 1930&rdquo;.
The literature with the auction lot states: &ldquo;This garland was presented to Gandhi to mark an auspicious beginning to the Salt March, a major non-violent protest in India in March-April 1930. The Salt March was one of the most successful campaigns in Gandhi&rsquo;s struggle against British rule in India to win equal rights and freedom for Indians.
&ldquo;Starting at his ashram (religious retreat) at Sabarmati (near Ahmedabad), the march reached Dandi after a journey of some 240 miles. On the morning of April 6, Gandhi and his followers picked up handfuls of salt from along the seashore. In so doing, they technically &lsquo;produced&rsquo; salt and broke the law.&rdquo;
A photograph accompanying the garland shows Nanduben Kanuga placing the garland around Gandhi&rsquo;s neck and it is said to have been subsequently returned to the Kanugas after the march.
&ldquo;A few weeks later, Dr Kanuga further contributed to the cause by paying 1600 Rupees for the grains of salt that Gandhi had made at Dandi,&rdquo; reads the footnote.
While the garland remained unsold, the auction attracted fierce bidding for its other highlight lots with a very fine illustration from a Bhagavata Purana series from Punjab going under the hammer for GBP 27,700 - overshooting its estimate of GBP 15-20,000. A group of six Rajput Equestrian Portraits from Rajasthan exceeded their estimate to fetch GBP 20,160 and an album of Kalighat Paintings sold for GBP 21,420.
&ldquo;The Indian Art section saw frantic bidding throughout and was over 90 per cent sold. A real testament to the buoyancy of the Indian Art market,&rdquo; said Sanne.

London Mayor result: Sadiq Khan wins record 3rd term, Delhi-born Tarun Ghulati finishes 10th

London Mayor result: Sadiq Khan wins record 3rd term, Delhi-born Tarun Ghulati finishes 10th

Sadiq Khan on Saturday registered a decisive victory to secure a record third term as Mayor of London, as the local election results from England and Wales continued to reflect a strong swing in favour of the Opposition Labour Party.
The 53-year-old Pakistani-origin Labour candidate secured a massive 10,88,225 votes with a 43.8 per cent vote share, well ahead of the Conservative candidate Susan Hall&rsquo;s 8,12,397 votes &ndash; an impressive majority of over 2,75,000.
Delhi-born businessman Tarun Ghulati, contesting as an independent candidate among a total 13 mayoral candidates, secured 24,702 votes and came in tenth in the overall tally.
&ldquo;I am beyond humbled right now and express my deep gratitude to my fellow Londoners, and make this pledge to you: I promise to repay the trust you&rsquo;ve placed in me by working tirelessly to deliver the fairer, safer and greener, London you deserve,&rdquo; said Khan in his acceptance speech from the London mayoral headquarters of City Hall.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s been a difficult few months, we faced a campaign of non-stop negativity, but I couldn&rsquo;t be more proud that we answered fear mongering with facts, hate with hope, and attempts to divide with efforts to unite. We ran a campaign that was in keeping with the spirit and values of this great city, a city that regards our diversity, not as a weakness, but an almighty strength,&rdquo; he said, taking aim at some of the rhetoric from the Opposition.
&ldquo;It is truly an honour to be elected for a third term and to do so with record levels of support from Londoners, with an increased margin of victory. But today&rsquo;s not about making history, it&rsquo;s about shaping our future,&rdquo; he added.
Earlier, Khan&rsquo;s own camp and the BBC had already called the election in favour of Khan as borough-wise results poured in for the UK capital to show that he was on course to beat his nearest Conservative Party rival, Susan Hall, with a strong voter swing in favour of Labour.
Significantly, the UK capital&rsquo;s Muslim population did not seem to have punished the Labour Mayor for his party&rsquo;s failure to strongly condemn Israel over the Gaza conflict in the same way as other parts of the country had. Some of Khan&rsquo;s controversial policies, such as the high costs on drivers of vehicles falling under the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) tariff bracket as part of his anti-pollution drive for London, also did not result in a major dent in his overall popularity.
&ldquo;Sadiq Khan was absolutely the right candidate. He has got two terms of delivery behind him and I am confident that he has got another term of delivery in front of him,&rdquo; said Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer just before the results were declared.
The role of London Mayor represents the 8.9 million people living across the capital and has a budget of GBP 20.4 billion and is responsible for Transport for London (TfL) and has some control over roads, policing and housing in the city. Londoners also went to the polls on Thursday to vote for one of 14 local representatives on the London Assembly and 11 London wide Assembly members who hold the Mayor of London accountable.
The Labour Party continued its winning streak in most of the local elections, seen as reflective of the electorate&rsquo;s mood ahead of a general election expected later this year. Popular Labour incumbent Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham was re-elected with 63 per cent of the vote, who committed to get right back to work to see through his transport reforms and called for more powers over welfare and housing.
&ldquo;I am ready to fight harder than I have ever fought for anything before, for a Greater Manchester where people can live free from the fear of debt, hunger and eviction, and where everyone is set up to benefit from the growing success of our city region today,&rdquo; said Burnham in his victory speech.
Earlier, the party won the Liverpool City Region and South Yorkshire mayoral races, the North East mayoralty, as well as the brand-new mayoralty of East Midlands.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who was handed a glimmer of hope on Friday with Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen retaining the seat for the Conservatives, will be hoping Birmingham&rsquo;s Tory Mayor Andy Street is able to win a contest that has been on a knife-edge between the Conservatives and Labour &ndash; with a recount ordered due to the results being too close to call.
However, any immediate manoeuvres by the Tory rebels to try and challenge Sunak&rsquo;s leadership seems to have been averted for the moment as there isn&rsquo;t much appetite for another upheaval in the party ranks.
An analysis of the local election results by BBC&rsquo;s polling expert Professor John Curtice suggests that Labour is now in pole position to win the general election, with the local elections extrapolated to a national level giving the Opposition a comfortable lead.&nbsp;

World War II bomb shelters in London to be tourist attraction 

The reimagined venue, which will boast other exhibits as well as Britain's deepest licensed bar, is aiming to welcome up to two million annual visitors from 2027.

A battle is brewing over plans to turn so-called spy tunnels beneath central London into "one of the world's most unique cultural experiences", pitting a global financier against local residents.
Australian-born private equity entrepreneur Angus Murray has submitted the proposal to transform the history-rich yet little-known Kingsway Exchange Tunnels -- which stretch for over a mile (1.6 kilometres) -- into a major tourist attraction.
If approved, it would host immersive displays showcasing its distinctive heritage as a World War II bomb shelter and then the home of the top-secret Special Operations Executive.
A branch of the MI6 foreign intelligence service, it is considered the inspiration for "Q Branch" in Ian Fleming's James Bond franchise.
The reimagined venue, which will boast other exhibits as well as Britain's deepest licensed bar, is aiming to welcome up to two million annual visitors from 2027.
"We envisage The London Tunnels achieving the same iconic status... as the London Eye," Murray said last week as he announced plans to list the venture on the London Stock Exchange.
The company plans to invest &pound;220 million ($280 million).
But in recent weeks concerned residents in the monied corner of Holborn have been digging in, complaining about developers and then visitors accessing the site from their quiet streets.
Local opponents include a British lawmaker and landlords of a psychotherapy and counselling venue.
"I object... on account of such a dramatic change of character to a quiet residential area," one local, James Keay, told Camden Council and the City of London local authorities, which will rule on the planning application.

The police have arrested a 36-year-old man at the scene and have ruled out the terrorism angle.  

Sword-wielding man held in east London after attacks

The police have arrested a 36-year-old man at the scene and have ruled out the terrorism angle.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A man with a sword was arrested in Hainault, east of London, after several people were attacked and injured, the Metropolitan Police said on Tuesday.
The force said it was called just before 7:00 am (0600 GMT) after a vehicle drove into a house and reports that "people have been stabbed".
"At this time we understand the suspect went on to attack other members of the public and two police officers," a statement read.
"We are awaiting an update on the condition of those injured."
The Met, which polices an area of 620 square miles (1,605 square kilometres) of Greater London, said a 36-year-old man was arrested at the scene.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan said: "This incident does not appear to be terror-related."

London protest: Greta Thunberg denies public order offence after she was arrested 

The 20-year-old confirmed her details in court, but her address in Stockholm was not read out due to concerns over alleged threats she has received.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg on Wednesday denied a public order offence after she was arrested last month at a demonstration against a major oil and gas industry conference in London.
The 20-year-old Swedish environmental campaigner was among more than two dozen people charged after protesters sought to block access to the luxury InterContinental Hotel in central London during last month's Energy Intelligence Forum, attended by some of the industry's top executives.
Thunberg was charged with breaching a section of the Public Order Act that allows police to impose limits on public assemblies. She and four other Fossil Free London protesters pleaded not guilty at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
Thunberg confirmed her details in court, but her address in Stockholm was not read out due to concerns over alleged threats she has received.
The protesters were granted unconditional bail ahead of a trial in London scheduled for February 2024.
The court hearing drew crowds of photographers and protesters from groups including Greenpeace, who gathered outside the building chanting and holding banners reading &ldquo;Oily Money Out&rdquo; and &ldquo;Make Polluters Pay.&rdquo; Thunberg and other climate protesters accuse fossil fuel companies of deliberately slowing the global energy transition to renewables in order to make more profit. They also oppose the British government's recent approval of drilling for oil in the North Sea, off the Scottish coast.
Thunberg inspired a global youth movement demanding stronger efforts to fight climate change after staging weekly protests outside the Swedish Parliament starting in 2018.
In July she was fined by a Swedish court for disobeying police and blocking traffic during an environmental protest at an oil facility. She had already been fined for the same offense previously in Sweden.&nbsp;

Two other people, a 24-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman, were arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. While the man remains in custody, the woman has been released without further action, the police said.
Police officers were called to Neeld Crescent in Wembley, north London, at 9.59 am local time on Tuesday to reports of a double stabbing.
Two female victims were treated at the scene by the emergency services and while one died on the spot, the other remains in a north London hospital.
"This has been a fast-moving investigation and I would like to thank the public for sharing our appeal for information about this man. He is now in custody,&rdquo; said Detective Chief Inspector Linda Bradley, from the Met's Specialist Crime Command.
"I recognise the significant concern this incident has caused in the community and I would like to reassure the public that a dedicated team of detectives are working to establish what happened. Local officers will remain in the area over the coming days to respond to any concerns," she said.

Vandalism by pro-Khalistani mob at Indian High Commission raised in UK Parliament

Watch: Pro-Khalistan groups protest at Indian mission in London amid tight security

Scotland Yard reacted by further blockading the area outside India House and several additional uniformed and mounted officers on horseback were deployed immediately to the area.

Around 2,000 protesters waving Khalistan flags descended upon the Indian High Commission in London on Wednesday for a planned demonstration and hurled objects and chanted slogans amid a heightened security presence and barricades.
The Indian High Commission countered by unfurling an additional humongous tricolour on the roof of its building, which seemed to rile the protesters further who then hurled coloured flares and water bottles towards the mission building and at police officers and media covering the protest.
Scotland Yard reacted by further blockading the area outside India House and several additional uniformed and mounted officers on horseback were deployed immediately to the area.
Unlike the violent disorder on Sunday when India House came under attack, the protesters were barricaded across the road with uniformed officers standing guard and patrolling the area throughout. The protesters, including turbaned men, and some women and children, had been bused in from different parts of the UK and chanted pro-Khalistan slogans.
The organisers used mikes to make anti-India speeches and attack the Punjab Police for alleged human rights violations. The speeches switched between English and Punjabi to make allegations of Indian media bias for calling them fringe elements and backed by Pakistan's spy agency ISI.
