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.

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…

While the pact ensures short-term supply stability, it also reveals an ongoing contest for control over materials that underpin economic security and military power. For Washington and Tokyo, this is a window to build independent mining and processing capacity; for China, a reminder of its enduring leverage. The coming year will decide whether this fragile truce evolves into…

Timeless Reads In Has the West Lost It? Kishore Mahbubani delivers a bracing wake-up call: the West’s 200-year dominance was a historical blip, now eclipsed by the unstoppable rise of Asia’s giants. From AD 1 to 1820, China and India ruled the global economy; by 2050, they’ll reclaim the top spots, with the “Rest” surging past the West in GDP. While America clings to crusades and Europe dithers, Beijing builds Belt-and-Road empires and Delhi lifts 800 million from poverty through pragmatic governance. This isn’t decline—it’s rebalancing. A provocative, data-packed plea for the West to adapt before history leaves it behind.…
