When Pakistan Lies and Congress Amplifies. It’s official—Pakistan has declared victory. No, not in war, diplomacy, sports, or science. But in memes. Yes, memes. Attaullah Tarar, Pakistan’s ever-earnest Information Minister, has triumphantly announced that his country has won the “meme war.” While most nations pursue economic growth, defend borders, or explore space, Pakistan’s crowning achievement,…
Some achievements transcend politics. And then there’s the Chenab Bridge—towering at 359 metres above the riverbed, outstretched the Eiffel Tower by 35 metres, and standing proudly as the highest railway arch bridge in the world. It’s not just an engineering marvel; it’s a testament to India’s resolve to connect the remotest frontiers through sheer willpower,…
In a country obsessed with cricket and cinema, Prof. Mayank Shrivastava of IISc Bengaluru has dared to ask the uncomfortable question: Can we build new IITs by just watching the IPL? His anguish is not misplaced. It’s a wake-up call that cuts through the noise of national pride built on celebrity, spectacle, and slogans. Prof….
In a grotesque display of political opportunism, the Congress-led Karnataka government turned what should have been a joyous occasion into a public tragedy. The state-sponsored “felicitation” ceremony for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) — celebrating their maiden IPL title win after 18 long years — quickly descended into a stampede that claimed 11 lives and left…
The cat is out of the bag. Pakistan’s decades-old nuclear bluff has finally been exposed—accidentally, and rather embarrassingly, by itself. In a striking development, the Advisor to India’s Defence Minister, in an interview with Republic TV, confirmed that Pakistan’s nuclear sites were indeed impacted during the recent Indian airstrikes, although they were not deliberately targeted….

The recent arrest of Sharmishta Panoli—a law student from Symbiosis—by Kolkata Police from Gurgaon, over allegedly “offensive” remarks against a minority faith, exposes the grim reality: we are fast surrendering to religious vigilantism in…
In the thick of Operation Sindoor, when our armed forces are showing steely resolve against a rogue and unstable neighbour, India did not expect a morale-breaking salvo—not from the enemy, but from within. That too, from none other than the Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal AP Singh. Speaking at a Confederation of Indian…
India’s economy clocked an impressive 7.4% growth in the fourth quarter of FY 2024–25, smashing analyst expectations and reaffirming its position as the fastest-growing major economy in the world. Yet, much of the domestic and international discourse has been fixated on a seemingly “disappointing” full-year GDP growth figure of 6.5%—a four-year low. The contradiction isn’t…
Elon Musk’s dramatic exit from Donald Trump’s administration is more than a celebrity tech mogul walking away from a bombastic president. It’s a political rupture with real consequences, exposing cracks in Trump’s campaign promises and highlighting the internal incoherence that already haunts his second term in the White House. For Trump, the loss of Musk…
As Russia steamrolls through eastern Ukraine with renewed aggression, one thing is clear: President Vladimir Putin is in no mood to negotiate peace, and the United States under Donald Trump has no plan to stop him.
