Some years announce themselves with drama; others work silently, rearranging the foundations beneath our feet. The year just concluded belongs firmly to the latter category. It did not merely deliver events—it exposed patterns. Across continents and cultures, the world appeared to pause mid-stride, reassessing assumptions about power, progress, growth, and governance. Globally, the year revealed…
Sanātana Dharma is not merely a religion; it is a civilisational way of life anchored in continuity, tolerance, and inner discipline. For centuries, Hindus have lived with remarkable restraint—absorbing invasions, conversions, and disruptions without pursuing retaliation or domination. This restraint must never be mistaken for weakness. It reflects deep cultural confidence, historical consciousness, and civilisational…
A falling currency is never merely a number flickering on a trading screen. It is a mirror — reflecting confidence and caution, global power shifts and domestic discipline, history replaying itself in quieter, more sophisticated forms. The Indian rupee’s gradual decline against the US dollar has triggered anxiety, political rhetoric, and headline alarmism. Yet beneath…
—and How the World’s Economic Self-Harm Helped Accelerate It Thanks, in no small measure, to protectionist shocks unleashed by Donald Trump’s tariff-heavy and inward-looking economic strategy, the global technology and talent ecosystem has been forced to re-evaluate old certainties. What emerged from that churn—perhaps unintentionally—was a renewed opportunity for India to reverse decades of brain…
Tracing Pakistan’s Untried Operatives — And the Real Men Who Still Walk Free “Perpetrators untried, justice unanswered — the silence speaks louder than evidence.” Indian cinema has long revisited national tragedies, memorialising loss and sacrifice. But most films stop at the explosion, the crisis, the heroic last stand. They seldom touch the darker truth that…
India, a civilisation where stories have always doubled as cultural memory, now stands at a creative crossroads. The habits of theatre-goers, the meteoric rise of OTT platforms, and the impact of AI-driven digital access have reshaped what Indians seek when they engage with a screen. Today’s viewer is emotionally expressive yet intellectually alert, spiritually rooted…
In moments of great geopolitical churn, seemingly routine diplomatic exchanges can echo like tectonic shifts. The recent India–Russia defence alignment—quiet in tone but profound in intent—has become one such tremor. As global blocs recalibrate and old equations gain new meanings, the unfolding narrative between New Delhi and Moscow is reshaping expectations, unsettling established hierarchies, and…
India’s new Labour Codes arrive at a moment when the nation is positioning itself at the centre of global investment flows. They promise efficiency for businesses, but provoke anxieties among workers who fear that efficiency may come at the cost of dignity and protection. More than a legal overhaul, the Codes force a deeper debate…
In an era dominated by digital noise and algorithmic homogenisation, India’s online journey is undergoing a subtle yet powerful shift. For over a decade, multinational platforms dictated not just how Indians connected, but increasingly how they thought, spoke, created and even perceived their own society. The result was paradoxical: a vast digital universe with extraordinary…
India’s democratic evolution has never been a simple march of electoral victories and political defeats. It is a far richer tapestry — woven through institutional reform, social churn, and shifting centres of political gravity. To understand how a country once defined by a monolithic national party transformed into a vibrant, multi-centred democracy, one must return…
