By all appearances, Pakistan is teetering on the edge of collapse. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has made deep inroads in the west, capturing towns and asserting control. In the north-east, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) continues its relentless strikes. The Pashtun resentment simmers unchecked. And in the middle of this domestic disintegration, a brief India-Pakistan military…
In his characteristic bombast, the U.S. President Donald Trump seems to have found a new target to blame for America’s troubles: Indian immigrants and the Indian-American diaspora. From tightening H-1B visa policies to proposing taxation on remittances, Trump’s rhetoric suggests that he views Indians, not just illegal immigrants, but even legal contributors, as a drain…
In a curious twist this past week, the Supreme Court of India stayed Enforcement Directorate (ED) action against Tamil Nadu’s state-run liquor monopoly, TASMAC. What stood out was not just the stay itself, but the sharp rebuke delivered by Chief Justice B.R. Gavai. “Your ED is crossing all limits,” he remarked, questioning how a criminal…
In a development that raises more questions than it answers, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recently issued a statement affirming the safety and security of Pakistan’s nuclear facilities.

In an unfolding geopolitical drama, the people of Bangladesh have begun to reject a dangerous global experiment: the foisting of Dr. Muhammad Yunus as Chief Advisor to a makeshift regime that emerged only after systematically undermining the democratically elected government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

The political dynasty that once wielded unchallenged influence over Indian politics is now facing its most serious legal challenge in decades.

In a significant hearing on Tuesday, the Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court, now led by Chief Justice of India, Justice B.R. Gavai, signalled a cautious and constitutionally sound approach in the challenge to the Waqf Act. The Bench, also comprising Justice A.G. Masih, underscored a core legal principle: “Every legislation passed by Parliament carries…
In the absurd theatre of Pakistan’s military establishment, self-delusion now comes with an extra star. General Asim Munir, Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, is reportedly projecting himself as a de facto Field Marshal—a title historically earned through decisive battlefield victories. What exactly is Munir being celebrated for? For standing by helplessly while India’s “Operation Sindoor”…
By no means should a nation that boasts of one of the world’s finest, most disciplined armed forces ever tolerate attempts to malign or divide it along lines of caste, religion, or gender. Yet, that is precisely what we are witnessing—statements from both the Left-liberal academic elite and certain right-wing political actors that shamefully drag…
It’s hard to tell whether one should laugh, cry, or roll one’s eyes at Asaduddin Owaisi’s latest outburst on the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025.
