This winter, the Himalayas appear strangely stripped of their familiar whiteness. In Uttarakhand, the snow that once settled quietly on peaks, nourished rivers, shaped agricultural rhythms, and anchored cultural memory has largely failed to arrive. What remains are bare slopes and uneasy questions. The winter drought unfolding across the region is not merely an environmental disruption; it marks the fading of a visual and spiritual mystique that has long defined the mountains. Scientists warn that the vanishing snow reflects deeper climatic shifts in the Himalayas, with consequences that will be felt far beyond these fragile heights — from forests and…

In Delhi’s bustling Mandi House, under a simple tree, Sanjana Tiwari—lovingly called Kitab Wali Aunty—has quietly turned a humble book cart into one of the city’s most cherished literary landmarks. Over 25 years ago, with just a high-school education at the time of her marriage and fierce determination, she earned a Master’s degree and began selling Hindi literature on the footpath. Today her modest stall, lit softly and lined with classics, poetry, and rare finds, draws theater artists, poets, writers, students, and dreamers alike. Despite a successful family—a retired journalist husband, a doctor son, a PhD-pursuing daughter, and an IPS…

It’s not a news site. But there’s a lot to learn from how Wikipedia constructs shared knowledge about what’s happening in the world. By Joshua Benton Wikipedia turns 25 years old today. On January 15, 2001, at 2:27 p.m. EST, Jimmy Wales made the first edit: “This is the new WikiPedia!” (They’ve gotten better since then.) To celebrate, you can take a “What Wikipedia of the future are you?” quiz. Without even taking the quiz, though, I know which one I am: the Wikipedia That Gets Respect As a Source of News. The site’s early years were filled with media outrage about a…

In an era where energy security dictates geopolitical alliances and economic fortunes, oil remains the lifeblood of the global economy. Despite the accelerating shift toward renewables, crude oil powers over a third of the world’s energy needs, fueling everything from transportation to manufacturing. But who truly controls this vital resource? A complex web of nations, corporations, and cartels holds sway over the planet’s oil reserves and production.  Recent upheavals—such as U.S. involvement in Venezuela’s oil sector and ongoing OPEC+ maneuvers—have reshaped the landscape.

Despite decades of awareness, the myth that women can prevent harassment or sexual violence through “modest” dressing or restricted mobility continues to surface in public discourse—especially in India, where political and social commentary still frames women’s clothing and curfews as safety measures. While overt victim-blaming has declined in Western leadership due to feminist movements like #MeToo, subtler forms persist in media narratives, legal scrutiny, and social attitudes. Rooted in patriarchal control and psychological biases, this rhetoric shifts responsibility from perpetrators to women, ignoring evidence that violence occurs regardless of attire or timing. True safety lies not in policing women’s behavior,…
