By P. L. Srinivas What is unfolding at Jawaharlal Nehru University today is not dissent. It is a defiance of constitutional order. And it deserves to be called out—not politically, but nationally. I write this not merely as a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party, but as a former student leader of the Congress’s National…
With Assembly elections approaching in Assam, West Bengal, and Puducherry, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s political trajectory for 2026 is no longer speculative—it is visible, deliberate and assertive. The Modi–Amit Shah combine continues to dictate the tempo of national politics, and increasingly, even their critics are forced to acknowledge this reality. It is telling that Prashant…
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s third term gains momentum, the Government of India has aggressively pursued its Amrit Kaal vision — an agenda aimed at transforming India into a developed nation by 2047. From infrastructure megaprojects and economic reforms to social welfare campaigns and strategic global engagements, 2025 has been a year of high-impact governance…
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s three-nation visit to Jordan, Ethiopia, and Oman may not have dominated prime-time debates back home, but in diplomatic circles it was closely watched—and quietly consequential. In just a few days, India reinforced its standing across West Asia and Africa, secured strategic goodwill, and burnished its image as a reliable, respected power…
It takes a seasoned statesman to turn a baseless jab into a masterclass in democratic decorum. And it takes Rahul Gandhi—the self-styled philosopher prince of Indian politics—to offer that opportunity with clockwork regularity.

Hundreds of cancellations, thousands of stranded passengers, airports resembling chaotic transit…
Over the past few years, India has quietly but steadily transformed its literacy landscape. Spearheaded by our most dynamic Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government’s ambitious policy push—rooted in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the NIPUN Bharat Mission, and ULLAS (the New India Literacy Programme)—this drive is now delivering visible, measurable results across…
Women’s empowerment has become one of the most contested arenas of Indian politics—not merely in terms of policy prescriptions but in the philosophical frameworks that guide them as well help win elections. The Narendra Modi government and the Opposition—led mainly by the Congress and its allies—present sharply contrasting visions rooted in different understandings of dignity,…
The 10/11 fidayeen attack in Delhi, which tragically claimed 13 lives, was instantly seized upon by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s detractors as a “setback” to India’s security doctrine. But outside the echo chambers of opposition politics, the public mood tells another story. Far from shaking confidence, the incident has reinforced a decade-old reality: India under…
No day in India passes without a disturbing headline—another drug bust, another fatal road accident, another teenager falling prey to substances. What is most worrying is not merely the frequency of these tragedies, but how comfortably we are adapting to them as if they are a routine part of life. When the wrong becomes normal,…
