Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis deserves full marks for his unambiguous warning to those who resort to violence in the name of linguistic pride. His stand—supporting pride in one’s mother tongue while rejecting linguistic chauvinism and mob justice—needs to be echoed across all states, especially in an increasingly polarized and identity-driven political climate.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address to the Ghanaian Parliament during his ongoing five-nation tour was not just diplomacy in action. It was a reality check for a world that has too long underestimated India’s civilizational weight and global potential. When he asserted that a strong India is good for the world, he wasn’t indulging…
In its never-ending obsession with bashing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government, the Indian National Congress has once again pounced on a non-issue and tried spinning it into a “diplomatic disaster.” The occasion? Pakistan is assuming the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for a month. According to Congress, this signals a major…

In 1976, during the dark days of the Emergency, Indira Gandhi’s regime smuggled two loaded words— “secular” and “socialist”—into the Preamble of the Indian Constitution through the 42nd Amendment. It wasn’t just a cosmetic change. It was a calculated move to distort India’s civilizational identity, weaponize the Constitution for vote-bank politics, and suppress the majority…
That New Bharat won’t sign silence on terrorism was loud and clear at the just-concluded Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in China. In a rare but resolute act of diplomatic defiance, India’s Defence Minister Rajnath Singh refused to sign the joint communique at the SCO Defence Ministers’ conclave. Why? Because the document deliberately omitted any…
In a watershed moment for India’s ambitions in human space exploration, Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla of the Indian Air Force has embarked on a 14-day mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as part of the multinational Axiom-4 mission.
