By Newswriters News Desk In a blistering takedown that has transatlantic media circles buzzing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt unleashed on the BBC, branding it “total, 100 percent fake news” and a “leftist propaganda machine” funded by unwitting British taxpayers. The salvo, delivered in a fiery interview with The Telegraph published Friday, stems from fresh allegations of doctored footage in a BBC Panorama episode revisiting the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot – a flashpoint that continues to polarize global discourse four years on. Leavitt, a 27-year-old rising star in Donald Trump’s orbit and the youngest press secretary in…

By Newswriters News Desk In a bizarre twist of corporate communication, India’s biggest brands are flooding social media with tearful “official apologies” – not for scandals or slip-ups, but for being too damn good at their jobs. From auto giants to snack behemoths, the “Sorry, Not Sorry” trend has ignited a viral frenzy, turning remorse into reels and regret into retweets. What started as a cheeky global gimmick is now a full-blown Indian phenomenon, racking up millions of views and redefining brand banter. The spark? Skoda India lit the fuse last week with a mock missive: “We regret to inform…

Business graph with arrows tending downwards With global debt soaring past $250 trillion and both rich and poor nations buckling under record borrowing, economists fear the world could be heading toward another financial crisis. Rising military spending, debt traps in developing economies, and post-pandemic vulnerabilities are converging into a perfect storm. India’s experience remains somewhat distinct. During the 200 global financial crisis, India was spared the worst because much of its population and domestic economy were not tightly integrated into global financial markets. Its industrial base was largely self-reliant, and domestic consumption cushioned the blow. By Newswriters News Desk A…

The 27th Amendment may formalize Pakistan’s long slide from fragile democracy to military-controlled state, cementing power in the hands of the army. What began as a reactionary state may now be ending as a militarised one — a nation trapped by the very fears and insecurities that gave it birth. Pakistan’s tragedy is not in its weak beginnings but in its refusal to evolve, mistaking the power of the gun for the strength of governance, and security for stability. In seeking permanence through military might, it risks losing the one thing that could truly hold it together — the will…

US Politics Shift? Zohran Mamdani’s NYC Win Challenges Trump Era By Subhash Dhuliya Zohran Mamdani’s surprise win as New York’s mayor signals a generational and ideological shift in American politics — from centrist pragmatism toward progressive populism focused on housing, equity, and inclusion. Mamdani’s triumph is not just an electoral milestone; it is an ideological marker of America’s evolving democracy — youthful, diverse, and demanding that politics once again serve people, not power.. Zohran Mamdani’s stunning rise from a community activist and state assembly member to the mayor of New York City is being viewed as more than a local…

A Call to Lead India’s Cultural and Political Future Once the moral anchor of Indian society, the middle class stood for education, ethics, and civic responsibility — the quiet custodians of national ideals and social progress. Three decades after liberalization, that anchor seems adrift in a sea of consumption and cultural confusion. From market to mall, from restraint to indulgence, India’s middle class has journeyed far — materially enriched but spiritually impoverished. As algorithms shape aspirations and debt fuels desire, it faces a deeper crisis of identity: prosperity without purpose. Can the Indian middle class, once the conscience of the…

The latest UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2024 warns that global greenhouse-gas emissions have hit a record high, pushing the planet toward nearly 3 °C of warming by century’s end. Five major emitters — China, the United States, India, the European Union, and Russia — now account for over 60 % of the world’s emissions, with India recording the largest absolute increase in 2024. While India’s per-capita emissions remain low and its renewable capacity is expanding, its rapid industrial growth poses a crucial test for global climate goals as the world races to keep the 1.5 °C target within reach. By…

Technically Yes, Practically No Yes, critical infrastructure is vulnerable. Industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA networks, utility grids have been hacked. For example, Ukraine saw power-grid intrusions in 2015/16 by state-linked hackers By Newswriters Research Desk From Dan Brown’s Origin to Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp thrillers, contemporary fiction has turned the invisible world of intelligence and cyberwarfare into a stage for global drama. Readers are captivated by stories where artificial intelligence outsmarts its creators, the CIA manipulates secret labs, and a hacker can plunge America into darkness with a few keystrokes. But how much of it is rooted in reality? The…

Rising gold prices, the expansion of lab-grown diamonds (LGDs), and growing demand in Asia have already reshaped production, design and distribution. Into this shifting landscape, protectionist trade measures from the United States — including stepped tariff actions in 2025 — have introduced a fresh and immediate shock whose ripple effects will be felt across supply chains, employment and market strategy. Reuters+1 India matters to this story on three counts: it is one of…
