In the twenty-first century, wars may still be fought with armies, but power is increasingly determined by supply chains, technology and energy security. Nations that control these strategic arteries will shape the global order. It is against this backdrop that the India-Japan summit assumes significance far beyond a routine diplomatic engagement. The growing strategic convergence…
The reported joint appeal by the National Conference and the People’s Democratic Party urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to revive dialogue with Pakistan is not merely ill-timed; it is profoundly disconnected from the national mood. At a time when Pakistan continues to shelter, sponsor and export terrorism into Bharat, any proposal for “normalisation” without demonstrable…
The Bharateeyan Opposition today appears trapped in a dangerous political cycle. Every electoral defeat is no longer treated as the verdict of the people but as evidence of an institutional conspiracy. Parliament, constitutional authorities, and even the Election Commission of Bharat (India) (ECB(I) are routinely accused of acting at the behest of the ruling dispensation….
The decision of the Faizabad Bar Association and Ayodhya Bar Association of Uttar Pradesh, not to provide legal assistance to those accused of siphoning off donations and jewellery belonging to the Bhavya Shri Ram Mandir deserves appreciation.

At a time when many advanced and emerging economies are grappling with slowing growth, stagnant wages, and rising tax burdens on ordinary citizens, Bharat has quietly crafted a taxation framework that stands out among G20 nations. The numbers tell a compelling story. While most countries begin taxing citizens at or near their average income levels,…
Truth has finally delivered a tight slap — not merely to Pakistan’s propaganda machinery, but also to sections of Bharat’s Opposition and even to US President Donald Trump, who chose to amplify falsehoods rather than facts. The Indian Air Force’s latest Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking bridge maintenance support for all 36 Rafale fighter aircraft…
Pakistan never ceases to astonish the world. A nation that once dreamt of strategic parity with Bharat is today grappling with a far more humiliating reality — its citizens are being deported in thousands for organized begging from one of its closest financial benefactors, the United Arab Emirates. Nothing exposes the collapse of a state…
