When India takes on Pakistan, cricket becomes more than a game. It is theatre, battle, and celebration rolled into one. In such cauldrons, reputations are made and broken. On Sunday, at just 23, Abhishek Sharma didn’t just walk into that arena—he owned it. His blistering 74 off 39 balls, laced with five sixes and four…
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his 20-minute address to the nation on the eve of Navaratri, described the launch of GST 2.0 as a “historic festival of savings” for every Indian household. Far from being just a bureaucratic reform, the government’s rollout of GST 2.0 represents a strategic, transformative step with the potential to redefine…
If ever there was a masterclass in self-sabotage, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has delivered it at the Asia Cup in Dubai. Not content with being humiliated on the field by India, they have now engineered a scandal off the field that could cost them not just money and reputation but possibly their entire future…
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced in 2017 as India’s most ambitious indirect tax reform, with the promise of creating a unified market, removing cascading taxes, and making life easier for businesses and consumers alike.

In the long history of independent India, no leader has commanded such respect, authority, and popularity as Narendra Damodardas Modi.

The Supreme Court’s interim order on the Waqf Act deserves acknowledgment, not blind celebration. In their considered wisdom, Chief Justice B.R. Gavai and Justice Augustine George Masih stopped short of staying the entire Act, choosing instead to put on hold certain controversial provisions. This cautious middle path, while seemingly balanced, raises larger questions about the…
For more than a year, Manipur has stood wounded—its society scarred by the ethnic clashes between hill tribes and plains people, its politics in shambles after the resignation of a duly elected BJP government, and its image badly bruised. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi finally set foot in Imphal this week, it was not just…
For weeks, India–US relations seemed caught in a tailspin, thanks to President Donald Trump’s trademark outbursts. First came the reckless tariff war, then the 50 per cent duty slapped on Indian goods, and finally the unpresidential flourish—his staff’s “unacceptable language” hurled at New Delhi. Many feared the bonkers theatrics from Washington would derail years of…
India, the world’s largest democracy, cannot and will not be bullied — not by billionaire speculators, not by compromised dynasts at home, and certainly not by wavering “allies” abroad.
