By all accounts, India is scripting one of the most remarkable economic growth stories of the 21st century. According to the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) April data, India is on the verge of overtaking Japan to become the world’s fourth-largest economy by 2025, with a nominal GDP of $4.187 trillion—just a hair’s breadth ahead of…
When a terror-infested nation dares to poke a sovereign, democratic power, it must be ready to pay the price. On May 8, India made that crystal clear—again. In the second phase of Operation Sindoor, the Indian Armed Forces not only reinforced their dominance but also humiliated Pakistan’s military capacity. Eight incoming missiles were intercepted and…
India has done what it must. Now, only Pakistan’s actions will decide what comes next. India has responded firmly, forcefully, and decisively to the horrific terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 innocent Indian tourists — all men, all breadwinners — leaving behind a trail of widows and shattered families. The perpetrators, Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists,…
At a time when national unity should be non-negotiable, the Indian National Congress and its allies are once again playing a shameful and dangerous game. Under the guise of political opposition, their narrative sounds eerily similar to Pakistan’s propaganda—a strategy so reckless, it undermines India’s global standing and demoralizes the armed forces. Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress…
In a democracy, wisdom often lies in knowing when not to act. That appears to have dawned—albeit late—on the outgoing Chief Justice of India (CJI) Sanjiv Khanna and his Constitution Bench comprising Justices Sanjay Kumar and K.V. Viswanathan. In what many see as a prudent retreat, the Bench has decided not to pass interim orders…
Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar, rightly and unapologetically, reminded the European Union of something India has long wanted the West to understand but has rarely voiced so bluntly: India is looking for partners, not preachers. His comment came in the wake of the barbaric Pahalgam massacre in Jammu and Kashmir—a chilling reminder that the fangs of…
In the theatre of Indian politics, yesterday’s adversaries often become today’s allies. But the visible bonhomie between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N. Chandrababu Naidu is more than just a political convenience. It signals a strategic reset—deep, calculated, and long overdue. This week’s grand show of camaraderie in Amaravati, where…
India is facing a diplomatic absurdity that borders on farce. The Pakistani government is brazenly refusing to take back its nationals, even those carrying valid Pakistani passports, as New Delhi finally musters the political will to deport illegal immigrants who pose a growing internal security risk. This isn’t just an international embarrassment; it’s a direct…
At long last, the caste census will be part of the official national Census, with the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs giving it the green light. This is a historic decision—politically astute, constitutionally sound, and socially consequential. But predictably, the Opposition is already squabbling to claim credit for a move that exposes its past duplicity….
At a time of heightened tension along the borders and the looming threat of cross-border terrorism, one would expect every political party to speak in one voice, or at the very least, avoid fanning division. But the Congress party, now a shadow of its former self, seems determined to sink deeper into the political muck….
