The passing of Dr. Krishnaswamy Kasturirangan marks the end of an era in Indian space science. A visionary scientist, institution builder, and tireless champion of India’s space ambitions, Kasturirangan was not just a name on the long list of ISRO’s chairmen. He was a defining force—one who charted India’s leap from modest remote sensing applications…
The mask is off, the gloves are off—and so is the patience. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, known for his strategic silence, has finally thundered from the heartland of Bihar with a promise no Indian can afford to ignore: the bloodbath in Pahalgam will not go unpunished. Twenty-six innocent tourists—men, women, children—from different corners of India…
Another attack. Another set of funerals. Twenty-six people — tourists and two young Indian Army officers — were gunned down in cold blood in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. This wasn’t a random act of violence. It was a calibrated message from Rawalpindi, scripted by the ISI and signed in blood by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists. And they’re…
The Pahalgam attack is not just a security lapse—it’s a national insult. And India must hit back, hard. Even if it means breaching ceasefire lines. Another set of bloodied pilgrims. Another cycle of condemnation. The same tired playbook. 28 tourists killed, many injured—at a site meant to symbolize devotion and peace. Victims of yet another…
Justice B.R. Gavai’s recent remarks – “We are alleged of encroaching upon the parliamentary and executive functions”—may have been tempered in tone, but they unmistakably reflect the growing chorus of concern about judicial overreach. The fact that such words were spoken from the Bench, during the hearing of petitions on violence in West Bengal over…
In no other democracy would this absurdity be allowed to continue. In India, we have the spectacle of elected representatives—those who swear an oath to uphold the Constitution and participate in framing laws—parading into courtrooms the next morning to challenge, bend, or selectively interpret those very laws, often for private clients with vested interests. This…
If the hijab controversy during the BJP’s tenure in Karnataka was condemned for politicizing religion in education, what should one make of the Congress government now allegedly asking a student in Shimoga to remove his jenuvu—a sacred thread worn discreetly under the clothes by Hindu Brahmin males? Is this tit-for-tat politics at the cost of…
The Modi government has yet again missed the forest for the trees. At a time when the country stares at growing communal tension over land ownership, historical revisionism, and institutional appeasement, the Centre has chosen to amend the Waqf Act instead of abolishing it. One must ask: why buy fresh trouble when the solution lies…
When governments start playing with numbers, it’s often the people who get played. The recent caste survey released by the Karnataka government is a prime example — a report riddled with discrepancies, hidden agendas, and what increasingly looks like a calculated political manoeuvre to redraw the social justice map in favour of vote-bank arithmetic rather…
The Congress party, long shielded by legacy, entitlement, and a pliant ecosystem of loyalists, is now staring down the barrel of the law in the festering scandal that is the National Herald case. With the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filing a chargesheet against Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and their close aide Sam Pitroda, the noose is…
