In an era where global diplomacy is defined by urgency, unpredictability, and shifting power centers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has emerged as a beacon of purposeful leadership and statesmanship.

According to official sources, the strikes hit…
The brutal terrorist attack recently in Pahalgam, where innocent pilgrims and civilians were targeted by religion-based terror outfits operating from across the border, has once again exposed the ugly face of radical extremism emanating from Pakistan’s soil.

C Pradeep Kumar West Bengal is burning. Again. But this isn’t a natural disaster or the result of any external invasion. This is internal. Deliberate. Systemic. And no, it’s no longer a mystery who’s lighting the match. Shops have been torched. Public transport wrecked. Stones hurled. Temples attacked. But here’s what the footage doesn’t lie…
