The numbers don’t lie, but they do tell a tragic tale – one of eroding values, crumbling family structures, and a society that has mistaken progress for moral decay. Look at the pattern: as literacy rates soar, so do divorce rates. The so-called enlightened nations, boasting near-universal literacy, also happen to be world champions in…
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 may have ended with India lifting the trophy – unbeaten and unchallenged – but the real party is happening online. From memes to reels to savage one-liners, cricket fans have turned social media into a comedy club, and let’s just say, Pakistan is the punchline more often than not. Take…

While India erupted in jubilation over its emphatic victory against New Zealand in the ICC ODI Championship, the euphoria wasn’t confined to its borders. Across the border, Pakistan too found itself caught up in the excitement, with many fans openly celebrating their ‘humsaya mulk’s’ (neighbouring nation’s) triumph.

Whenever Congress is confronted with Rahul Gandhi’s spectacular failures, its spokespersons scramble for the same tired excuse: ‘Don’t compare apples with oranges.’ It is their go-to line whenever someone dares to question how a fifth-generation dynast with a track record of electoral disasters still fancies himself a national leader.
