In the aftermath of India’s decisive four-day military retaliation against Pakistan, a section of Indian media has once again betrayed national interest. Outlets like The Hindu and The Wire reportedly published narratives eerily sympathetic to Islamabad, raising the question: how long will the Indian state tolerate this fifth column masquerading as journalism? The government of…
Who is the United States trying to fool? Does it still live under the delusion that its self-appointed ‘Big Brother’ role grants it the power to hoodwink the world with outdated Cold War theatrics? In a telling moment of panic, the U.S. President Donald Trump scrambled to deflect attention after India’s precision strike on Pakistan’s…
In a world where national interest demands clarity and courage, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chose to ignore the noise and act. While Modi focused on sanitizing India’s borders from Pakistan-backed terror, the Congress party, in a display of remarkable tone-deafness, wanted answers on whether he had accepted the U.S. President Donald Trump’s so-called mediation offer…
In just under 15 minutes, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a masterclass in leadership, clarity, and resolve. It wasn’t just a speech—it was a strategic declaration to both friend and foe that India is no longer in the mood to tolerate perfidy, provocation, or platitudes.

It…
It’s Day 4 of a war that Pakistan neither anticipated nor can afford. The Indian armed forces, operating with strategic clarity and unflinching precision, have launched a series of targeted strikes that have left Pakistan’s military infrastructure in tatters. Major airstrips—including one perilously close to the Pakistani Army and ISI headquarters—have been reduced to rubble….
MS Shanker A Spinner’s Straight Talk: Venkatapathy Raju on HCA’s Decline and the Way Forward In my continuing series on the downfall—and the much-needed revival—of Hyderabad cricket, I’ve spoken to several former players and insiders.

When Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy declared that the state was bankrupt, he wasn’t joking. In fact, he seemed to revel in the rare political act of public self-pity—more fit for a stand-up routine than a Chief Minister’s address.
