News reports tell readers what happened—quickly, clearly, and efficiently. Feature writing, by contrast, tells readers why it matters, how it feels, and what it means over time. Understanding the difference is essential for any journalist who wants to move beyond facts into storytelling. By Subhash Dhuliya News Writing: Speed, Structure, and Skimming News stories are designed to be read fast. Their primary purpose is to convey information as efficiently as possible, often to readers who may only skim headlines and opening paragraphs. The traditional inverted pyramid structure places the most important facts at the very top, followed by supporting details…

On December 24, 2025, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) achieved a major milestone with the successful LVM3-M6 launch of the BlueBird Block-2 communications satellite for US-based AST SpaceMobile.

As countries across the world reconsider the role of smartphones in classrooms, growing evidence links excessive device use to distraction, behavioural addiction, and serious mental health risks among students. From declining attention spans to rising anxiety, depression, and body-image disorders, smartphones are increasingly seen not as neutral learning tools but as powerful technologies that reshape cognition and emotional wellbeing. The global push to ban or restrict phones in schools reflects a broader effort to reclaim classrooms as spaces for focused learning, psychological safety, and healthy development.

Born out of a secular liberation struggle, Bangladesh is facing one of the gravest crises of its political identity. The collapse of Sheikh Hasina’s long rule has exposed deep democratic erosion, enabling the resurgence of Islamist forces and intensifying anti-India sentiment. This in-depth analysis examines how authoritarian governance, regional miscalculations, and global power dynamics converged to destabilize Bangladesh—and what it means for India and South Asia. Protesters shout slogans and block an intersection following overnight attacks and vandalism after the death of a prominent activist, who was shot by an assailant a week ago, in Dhaka, Bangladesh [Mahmud Hossain Opu/AP…

Gold has reasserted itself as a central pillar of the global financial system, driven by record prices, central bank buying, geopolitical uncertainty, and shifting monetary policies. What was once seen mainly as a hedge is now increasingly viewed as a strategic asset, reshaping investment decisions, national reserves, and market behaviour worldwide. By Newswriters News Desk The global gold market is undergoing a historic transformation, marked by record prices, shifting demand patterns, and deep structural changes in the world economy. Once viewed primarily as a hedge against inflation or a store of value in times of crisis, gold has now re-emerged…

From ancient civilizations to modern nation-states, the hijab has evolved from a cultural practice into one of the most contested symbols of faith, identity, and power. More than just a piece of cloth, it reflects history, politics, and culture, while also raising a fundamental question of choice. Around the world, its meaning shifts depending on who decides: when women wear it freely, the hijab expresses belief, agency, and identity; when it is imposed or restricted, it can become a tool of control or even enslavement. Understanding the hijab today requires looking beyond religion to the social, political, and cultural forces…

President Vladimir Putin’s four-and-a-half-hour end-of-year press conference was less a routine media interaction and more a strategic signal—aimed simultaneously at domestic audiences, Ukraine, and Western capitals. By blending battlefield confidence with conditional openness to negotiations, institutional legitimacy with moral certainty, and geopolitical grievances with civilizational rhetoric, Putin sought to project Russia as a state both embattled and enduring. The event underscored Moscow’s belief that time, strategic depth, and national resolve remain on its side, even as the war grinds on and diplomatic pathways remain narrow. By Newswriters News Desk Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday held his annual end-of-year press…

India’s highway boom has transformed mobility and logistics, but it has also sparked a growing debate over tolls, long concession periods and who ultimately benefits. As public funds, private capital and user charges intersect, the economics of highways reveal a complex balance between infrastructure growth and public trust. By Newswriters News Desk India’s highway expansion over the past decade has been among the most ambitious infrastructure programmes undertaken anywhere in the world. From a slow-moving, under-funded road network plagued by bottlenecks and poor connectivity, national highways have been transformed into the backbone of India’s logistics, mobility and economic integration. Yet…

In a decisive turn toward pragmatic great-power diplomacy, the Trump administration’s 2025 National Security Strategy introduces the “Core-5” (C5) concept—a proposed forum bringing together the United States, China, Russia, India, and Japan to shape global stability. The idea reflects a shift toward a modern great-power concert, signalling a move away from ideology-driven alliances toward a post-ideological order anchored in national interests. By Subhash Dhuliya This reorientation unfolds against a changing economic backdrop. While the G7’s share of global GDP (PPP) has declined to roughly 28–30 percent, an expanded BRICS now accounts for more than 40 percent. The imbalance underscores a…

Pakistan has existed in a state of perpetual crisis since its creation in 1947, dominated by military power and defined by opposition to India. Today, under Field Marshal Asim Munir’s unprecedented authority, the country faces its most perilous moment yet. As the United States pushes Islamabad to send troops to Gaza under President Donald Trump’s plan, Munir is caught between appeasing Washington and preserving Pakistan’s domestic legitimacy and standing in the Muslim world. The outcome may reshape Pakistan’s future—and destabilise the region. Pakistani Islamists burn an effigy of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during a protest to condemn the killing of…
