For decades, analysts predicted a “multipolar world,” as if it were some distant mirage. Today, that mirage has turned into a geopolitical storm—loud, visible, and undeniable. The old Western-centric order that dictated global affairs for nearly two centuries is losing altitude, and the ascent of BRICS has exposed the cracks in what Washington and Brussels…
The Supreme Court’s recent decision to issue notices to the Union Government and investigative agencies on the progress of major bank-fraud cases is, in itself, a welcome move. Public money deserves the highest protection, and court-monitored probes ensure accountability. The bench led by Chief Justice B R Gavai has responded swiftly to a petition filed…
India’s decision to speak firmly and openly for the welfare of the Bangladeshi people in the wake of the Tribunal Court’s death verdict against toppled former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is more than a diplomatic posture—it is a statement of principles rooted in history, security, and regional stability. The question confronting New Delhi is straightforward:…
After thirty-three years of restraint, the United States is once again toying with the idea of blowing the dust off its nuclear testing grounds. Donald Trump’s declaration that he has instructed the Pentagon to begin testing nuclear weapons “on an equal basis” with Russia and China signals more than a policy shift — it marks…
The Bihar verdict is more than a change of numbers in a 243-member Assembly — it is a political earthquake. The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has smashed every projection, defied every pundit, and burst past every exit poll ceiling to touch an unprecedented 200-plus seats — a milestone no alliance has ever crossed in…

It signals that India continues to be the fastest-growing major economy in a sluggish global environment, but it also reminds us that numbers alone don’t…
The threat of Islamic radicalization is no longer an abstract fear—it is a global menace staring humanity in the face. From Paris to Peshawar, from Mumbai to Minnesota, the pattern is unmistakable: almost every act of modern terror has roots in radical Islamist ideology. The time for political correctness is over. The world must confront…
From Thimphu, the message was unmistakable: India’s patience has limits, and this time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not mince words. Barely 24 hours after the devastating blast near Delhi’s Red Fort that claimed 13 innocent lives, Modi spoke — not from New Delhi, but from Bhutan — vowing that the perpetrators “will be brought…
With the ICC T20 World Cup fast approaching — and the final set to be staged at the magnificent Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, a 1.2 lakh-capacity fortress that stands as a symbol of India’s cricketing might — one would imagine that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) would focus on stability,…
India’s judiciary is fast becoming a national punchline. What was once the moral compass of the Republic now appears adrift—confused, inconsistent, and increasingly self-absorbed. From frivolous Public Interest Litigations to politically coloured observations, the higher judiciary seems to have lost touch with both its constitutional duty and the common citizen.
