Nowadays, this event is celebrated as a ceremony at the Slovak National Council building in the capital city of Bratislava.

The SNC was a main force of action that was established during the Revolutions of 1848 in the Habsburg Empire. It was led by Ľudovít Štúr, Jozef Miloslav Hurban, and Michal Miloslav Hodža, who played a significant role in the Slovak National Revival. The SNC is considered as the first Slovak parliament that filled the spirit of Nationalism in the hearts of Solvakians and it was their struggles that eventually established Slovakia as an independent nation in 1993.

Saint Kitts and Nevis is a dual-island nation situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, gained their independence from the British Crown on September 19, 1983, after a long and arduous journey. The islands were initially part of a larger federation with Anguilla, but Anguilla seceded in 1967. Saint Kitts and Nevis then became an associated state of the United Kingdom in 1967, with full internal self-government. However, the islands remained dependent on the UK for defence and foreign affairs.

In the early 1980s, the People's Action Movement (PAM), led by Kennedy Simmonds, began to press for full independence. The PAM won the 1980 general election, and Simmonds became Premier. In 1982, the UK government agreed to grant independence which eventually led to the Independence of Saint Kitts and Nevis on the fateful day of 19th September 1983.

1. INDIA AND CANADA RELATIONSHIP: The India-Canada relationship is worsening as both countries have announced the expulsion of diplomats of the other country after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Indian government agents of having linkages in the killing of a Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. 

Experts believe the fresh tensions between India and Canada are unlikely to impact trade and investments between the two countries as economic ties are driven by commercial considerations.

2. SUBAH CONTROVERSY: The Canadian Punjabi singer Shubhneet Singh, better known as Shubh, is at the centre of a storm ahead of his scheduled performance in Mumbai from September 23-25 as part of the Cruise Control 4.0 event aboard the Cordelia Cruise.

The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), the youth wing of the ruling BJP, has vehemently opposed the singer's appearance, alleging his support for Khalistan and for posting a distorted map of Kashmir.

Alongside the image, he wrote "Pray for Punjab," which sparked immediate criticism. Singh later deleted the map, replacing it with a message that only read "Pray for Punjab” without any picture.

Electronics brand boAt made headlines today, September 19, by officially retracting its sponsorship of the upcoming India tour of the renowned Canada-based singer-rapper Shubneet Singh, popularly known as Shubh.

3. Walk of Infamy: the Trump star causing a stir in Los Angeles

Trump’s star, which he earned after hosting several seasons of the TV reality show The Apprentice, has been repeatedly defaced or destroyed in the eight years since he first ran for president. Yet on each occasion the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has resisted calls either to remove it or to leave the damage un-repaired.

The star should have been removed as early as 2015 when NBC fired Trump from The Apprentice for characterizing Mexicans as rapists bringing drugs and crime into the US. And it struck him as a no-brainer after the attempted insurrection at the Capitol on 6 January 2021, especially since the LA city council unanimously passed a resolution calling for Trump’s removal from office because he had instigated a “seditious, racist and violent” attack.
