From the Indian perspective, the extraterritorial jurisdiction clause directly implicates the Tibetan exile community residing in India, potentially exposing CTA officials, Dharamsala based researchers and Tibetan advocacy networks to a Chinese claim of jurisdiction.
The Ahmedabad verdict should not be viewed merely as the culmination of one terrorism trial. It represents the maturation of India's institutional capacity to confront terrorism through both security and law. Over the past two decades, India has steadily strengthened its counter-terrorism architecture
The revival of shipbuilding has become a central pillar of national policy, extending across defence, commerce and industrial development. Indian shipyards today construct aircraft carriers, submarines, destroyers, offshore patrol vessels and a wide range of commercial vessels.
The scandal at Ayodhya is not a new low really. It is all too expected as the slippery slope of a journey focused only on the ends without caring for the means. The collapse at Ayodhya is thus a logical culmination of a system of leadership, governance and capture of power that believes in and lives by the edict that results matter and how we get to the results does not.
The mutual respect and empathy developed between Russia and India over centuries are rooted in historical traditions. Neither pursued policies of exploiting other people’s resources. Both have believed in respecting civilizational diversity. This orientation continues today in the context of the BRICS countries of which Russia and India are foundational members.
Importantly, coal reserves are concentrated in economically disadvantaged states, where people rely directly on mining jobs and indirectly on linked activities. Thus, while the closure of coal-based assets is central to a long-term transition, it will be highly disruptive for both the sector and local communities if the transition is not implemented with inclusive stakeholder participation.
The most important thing to do in cities like Delhi is to plant more trees. There should be a major campaign to plant trees. Each One Plant One could be a good slogan for such a campaign. A green and healthy city normally has an average of > 35% area of city covered by trees and forest. Indian cities have < 10-15% tree cover. This single act of planting more trees in cities can reduce air pollution substantially
India, as a founding member of the NAM and an active participant in the SCO, continues to uphold the values of equality, liberty, justice, and non-violence in international relations. The recent SCO Summit (Tianjin, 2025) and improving India–US ties — including President Trump’s conciliatory gestures on trade — reflect India’s growing confidence and self-reliance in global diplomacy.
Research shows that globalization boosts economies, improves job opportunities, reduces conflict, and increases trade. However, it also widens income gaps and harms the environment. These challenges can be managed through effective institutions and public policies focused on education, health, and sustainability—not by rejecting globalization.
The world needed the two largest emitters to show courage in Busan — especially when one of them, China, has already shown how ecology and economics can go hand in hand. Instead, they chose commerce over conscience.And the message to developing nations is painfully clear: When climate ambition competes with commercial bargaining — climate loses.
Every form of politics that cloaks itself in religion tends to preserve feudal values and promote hostility toward the “other.” Even Christian fundamentalism reinforces patriarchal norms. Nazi Germany, too, confined women to the three Ks—Kirche, Küche, Kinder (Church, Kitchen, Children). As we condemn patriarchy and the denial of human rights, we must recognize that all sectarian nationalisms—those rooted in religious or racial superiority—share these regressive traits.
Reservation in education has achieved moral legitimacy and expanded access, but it has also created new inequalities and stagnation. Its future lies not in expansion or abolition, but in redefinition. Affirmative action must evolve from symbolic arithmetic to structural reform, grounded in data and fairness.
In Ladakh, it is not just 150 sq km of pasture land allotted to corporates for solar power projects, but also the mining on land of corporate choosing. Why bother about the ecology, environment and disasters?
If executed smoothly, this transaction will serve as a template for future cross-border collaborations, especially within the framework of CEPA and the broader India–UAE economic corridor. It demonstrates that when capital, strategy, advisory prowess and bilateral ambition converge, remarkable outcomes follow.
With nine terrorist camps destroyed by India in Op Sindoor, the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) camps in Pakistan are being relocated deeper inside – in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region. This could bring them in conflict with the TTP, unless they decide to join hands. Notably, Pakistan has formed an alliance between the LeT and the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP or ISIS-K)
A possible model based on Spirituality + Technology = Sustainability and Happiness may help in reducing greed, provide equitable distribution of resources and provide a new paradigm of development not only for India but for mankind. Once the mighty engine of innovation starts in India then the Darwinian evolution of the disruptive model of Phillipe Aghion and Peter Howitt will follow.
The island-nation’s strategic location in the Indian Ocean has placed it at the centre of intensifying geopolitical competition and rivalry between China and India. Sri Lanka’s experience in balancing its own priorities and needs with the competing interests and concerns of India and China through the lens of project financing has largely succeeded despite occasional hiccups
Theatreisation of military, while conceptually appealing, is not a one-size-fits-all solution. India’s strategic geography — with two contiguous adversaries, interlinked land-sea challenges, hybrid threats, and extraordinarily diverse terrain — does not lend itself to neat theatre divisions.
AI is proving to be more than just a digital tool; it is becoming a fiscal multiplier. By tightening compliance, improving revenue forecasts, preventing leakages, and guiding expenditure, AI is reshaping India’s fiscal landscape. Recent tax reforms under the GST regime adjusting slabs to reduce rates on essentials while taxing luxury goods higher were made possible through AI-driven fiscal analytics.
