The Modi government is set to begin the new year on a decisive note. By approving the 8th Pay Commission’s recommendations, effective January 1, 2026, the Union Cabinet has not only fulfilled a long-pending administrative expectation but also delivered a genuine New Year gift to nearly 50 lakh Central government employees and 68 lakh pensioners…..
When Justice Surya Kant assumes charge as the 52nd Chief Justice of India on November 24, he will inherit not just the nation’s highest judicial chair but also one of its most delicate constitutional tests — how far the judiciary should wade into the functioning of other independent institutions. The challenge comes at a time…
If there is one frustrated leader in the world today, it is unquestionably Donald Trump. Once touted as the “leader of the free world,” the U.S. President now cuts a pathetic figure of confusion, arrogance, and insecurity. His frustration is understandable — no self-respecting nation today, whether India, China, Russia, or even Argentina, is prepared…
When 22-year-old Manika Vishwakarma from Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, was crowned Miss Universe India 2025 in Jaipur, it wasn’t just another glittering coronation night. It was a quiet reaffirmation of India’s evolving idea of womanhood — rooted in confidence, conscience, and clarity.

When politics sinks to the gutter, it usually wears the Congress badge. Karnataka’s Minister for IT and Rural Development, Priyank Kharge, son of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, has just offered fresh proof. On October 13, 2025, the junior Kharge wrote to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah demanding a ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and a…
No one plays political roulette quite like Donald Trump. His recent about-face on Hamas—from casual indifference to full-throated condemnation—illustrates the former U.S. president’s trademark blend of instinct, opportunism, and improvisation. But behind this latest flip-flop lies something larger than Trump’s ego: a world struggling to define moral consistency in an age where alliances shift faster…
