When Prime Minister Narendra Modi quipped that India’s “Operation Sindoor” was successful not just on the battlefield but also on the cricket field, he wasn’t exaggerating. Three back-to-back thrashings of Pakistan in the Asia Cup—what better proof that India is scripting a new chapter in world T20 cricket? For once, let’s silence the chorus of…
Tamil Nadu politics, for the uninitiated, often looks less like democracy and more like theatre—complete with superstars, dramatic dialogues, and the occasional tragedy.

Thirty-nine lives. Snuffed out in an instant. Mothers, fathers, children—reduced to statistics in what has become one of Tamil Nadu’s worst stampedes in recent memory.
