The Modi government deserves unequivocal praise for refusing to entertain any discussion in Parliament on the Election Commission’s Special Investigation Report (SIR). It is a necessary and constitutionally sound decision to protect the integrity of an independent Constitutional body from political theatrics and baseless innuendos. The Election Commission of India (ECI) is a Constitutional authority…
The Supreme Court’s observations on the shameful episode of political defection in Telangana are a damning indictment of both the defectors and the system that enables them. It is not just a legal matter—it is a moral and constitutional crisis that threatens to corrode the very foundations of Indian democracy. The case of 10 BRS…
In a decision of historic magnitude, the United Kingdom and France have formally announced their recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state.

When history books are written on India’s 21st-century technological ascendancy, ISRO’s collaboration with NASA on the NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite will undoubtedly occupy a place of pride. Being launched today from India’s Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, NISAR is not just another scientific satellite—it marks a quantum leap in Earth…

For over seven decades, it has pursued relentlessly and unapologetically a doctrine of bleeding India with a thousand cuts. From sponsoring cross-border terrorism to glorifying jihad and shielding its foot soldiers, Pakistan has consistently reaffirmed…
In a landmark moment for bilateral economic ties, India and the United Kingdom have inked a comprehensive free trade agreement (FTA) that promises to reshape the contours of trade, talent exchange, and industrial collaboration between the two nations.
