Unstoppable Modi’s India

For 140 crore Indians, the latest economic forecast is a reason to smile. For the Indian Opposition, particularly the Congress, it is a reason to sulk. After all, what will they peddle now? Their favorite pastime has been parroting whatever nonsense Donald Trump blurts out — from the absurd claim that he “stopped” a war…

Trump’s Tariff Self-Goal

When history remembers Donald Trump, it won’t be for his hollow slogan of “America First” but for “America Alone.” His latest move—a reckless 50 percent tariff slapped on Indian exports—reeks less of economic strategy and more of a petulant tantrum. Ironically, as India celebrates Vinayaka Chaturthi, Trump’s tariff war takes effect. What he fails to…

India’s AI Awakening

For decades, the skies have been America’s private theatre. Its satellites, circling silently above, weren’t just tools of science—they were instruments of dominance. Washington could peer into battlefields, track adversaries, and even monitor “allies,” confident that no one dared challenge its celestial monopoly. India, like most nations, was expected to quietly endure. That era is…

Politics Beyond Certificates

The Delhi High Court’s decision to set aside a petition seeking disclosure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s educational records under the Right to Information Act is more than just a legal ruling. It is a sober reminder that politics in India must return to issues, policies, and performance—not descend into the shallow alley of certificate-hunting….

DRDO Silences the Doubters

For years, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) was the favourite punching bag of critics. Every delay, every missed deadline was magnified into a national embarrassment. Drawing-room experts, columnists, and so-called security analysts delighted in dismissing it as a bloated, inefficient bureaucracy incapable of delivering. “What has DRDO achieved?” they would sneer, ignoring the…

Modi’s India Stands Firm

The United States is rattled. Not because India is weak, but precisely because New India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi refuses to bow before Washington’s veiled threats of tariff wars and sanctions. The recent meeting between External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov is yet another reminder that India no longer…

Opposition’s Winter of Disgrace

If India needed yet another reminder of how low our Opposition benches can stoop, the just-concluded winter session of Parliament delivered it in full. What should have been a forum for constructive debate on legislation turned instead into a theatre of noise, slander, and sheer irresponsibility—directed not merely against the government, but against the very…

Opposition Exposed in Fear

Indian democracy has always thrived on debate and dissent, but there is a difference between protest and sheer disgrace. What unfolded in Parliament recently—Opposition MPs hurling torn papers at Home Minister Amit Shah—was a shameful spectacle that revealed more than just anger. It revealed fear. The provocation? Three proposed Bills that would bar prime ministers,…

Drowned in Negligence

Year after year, the monsoon arrives as though it were an unexpected guest. Year after year, governments—state and civic alike—act surprised. And year after year, citizens drown in the same cycle of chaos, filth, and misery. If there is one thing that the recent spell of heavy rains has once again exposed, it is not…

Trump Cornered

Geopolitics often plays out in shadows, but sometimes leaders themselves reveal where real trust lies. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s brief post on X thanking Vladimir Putin for “sharing insights” from his Alaska meeting with Donald Trump was one such moment. This was no casual courtesy call. It was a message: Putin trusts Modi with sensitive…
