Prime Minister Narendra Modi , speaking in Kurukshetra on the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur, reaffirmed India’s firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism. Calling Operation Sindoor  the clearest demonstration of India’s new security doctrine, he declared that “New India neither fears nor bows down to terrorism.” Modiji  emphasised that India continues to advocate universal peace, yet refuses to compromise on national security.

India and Afghanistan  have embarked on a renewed path of cooperation, signalling a significant shift in diplomatic and economic engagement after years of limited interaction. The recent high-level meeting between Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal  and Afghanistan’s Industry and Commerce Minister Alhaj Nooruddin Azizi has set the stage for a deeper, more structured economic partnership between the two nations. Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Monday met with Afghanistan's mi

India’s economic momentum appears to have strengthened in the July–September quarter, with multiple surveys indicating that GDP may have expanded by around 7.3% in Q2 of FY26. This marks one of the strongest quarterly performances among major global economies and surpasses the Reserve Bank of India’s  projection of 7%. A combination of favourable base effects, improved rural activity, and heightened government expenditure seems to be powering the expansion. Indian economy log

The Dhwajarohan ceremony at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya  marked one of the most symbolic moments in India’s contemporary cultural history. Prime Minister Narendra Modi , who hoisted the sacred saffron “Dharma Dhwaj”, described the event as far more than a ritual. He projected it as the embodiment of India’s civilisational revival, a moment that closes centuries of struggle and reaffirms a cultural identity deeply rooted in dharma and spiritual values. PM Modi h

On the sidelines of the G20 Leaders’ Summit  in Johannesburg, Prime Minister Narendra Modi  held a crucial bilateral meeting with newly-elected Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.

The swearing-in of Justice Surya Kant as the 53rd Chief Justice of India was meant to be a moment of constitutional reverence, drawing together the highest offices of the nation. President Droupadi Murmu  administered the oath at Rashtrapati Bhavan in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi , Vice-President C.P. Radhakrishnan, senior ministers, and top judicial figures. Yet the absence of one key political figure — Rahul Gandhi , Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha

India has taken a decisive step in strengthening its coastal defence architecture with the commissioning of INS Mahe, the first vessel of the indigenously built Mahe-class Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW-SWC). Commissioned at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai , the ship marks a major milestone in the Indian Navy’s modernisation drive and its growing commitment to self-reliance in defence manufacturing. The ceremony was conducted in the presence of senior naval lead

India stepped onto the global stage at the 2025 G20 Leaders’ Summit  in Johannesburg with striking confidence, clarity, and ambition. Prime Minister Narendra Modi  used his address not merely to participate in the conversation but to reshape it—placing security, human-centric technology, development, and global institutional reform at the centre of a new world order. His message was unmistakable: India is no longer content with being a stakeholder; it seeks to be an architect

At the Sindhi Samaj Sammelan in New Delhi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh  delivered a statement that instantly reverberated across the political landscape. Speaking before an audience deeply rooted in the history of Partition, he asserted that although Sindh lies across the border today, it remains inseparably linked to India “civilisationally.” He went further, suggesting that geopolitical boundaries are never permanent and that “Sindh may return to India again”—a remark th

The Manufactured Persona of a “Victim-Politician” Zohran Kwame Mamdani  is not merely a New York Assemblyman; he is a political personality carefully curated for American progressive spaces. Instead of focusing on crime, housing, affordability, or the daily concerns of his constituents, Mamdani has reinvented himself as the Western interpreter of Indian politics — the man who must lecture 1.4 billion Indians on morality, democracy, and pluralism. Again and again, he frames hi

Introduction Over the past decade, India has repeatedly been criticised by international commentators and sections of the global media for adopting stricter immigration controls. These criticisms often paint India as inward-looking or excessively cautious, implying that it stands alone in restricting inflows of migrants. Yet this narrative collapses the moment one looks beyond India’s borders. Across Europe, North America, Australia , and parts of Asia, governments are rapidl

India is undergoing a historic transformation in its energy landscape, and at the centre of this shift lies a bold and unmistakable bet on nuclear power. As the country moves toward its long-term goals of energy independence, economic growth, and net-zero emissions by 2070, atomic energy is emerging not just as an option, but as a necessity. With massive investments, sweeping policy reforms, and new technological ambitions, India is preparing to rewrite its nuclear story for

The final day of the Dubai Air Show 2025, held at Al Maktoum International Airport, was expected to be a showcase of cutting-edge aviation. Instead, it witnessed a tragic moment for India’s defence community. An Indian Air Force (IAF) Tejas Mk-1 fighter jet, participating in a high-precision aerobatic display, crashed during its manoeuvres and burst into flames, killing its pilot, Wing Commander Namansh Syal. The aircraft took off shortly after 2:10 pm local time, initially p

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s  visit to Johannesburg for the 20th G20 Leaders’ Summit marks a significant moment in contemporary global diplomacy. For the first time since the G20 was founded, the Summit is being hosted on African soil — a powerful symbol of the shifting geopolitical landscape. South Africa’s presidency has emphasised the theme “Solidarity, Equality, and Sustainability,” capturing the aspirations of the Global South and the pressing need to reshape internati

Union Home Minister Amit Shah  has framed the BJP-led NDA’s sweeping victory in Bihar  as far more than an electoral win—it is, he argues, a decisive public endorsement of a nationwide campaign to cleanse the voters’ list of “infiltrators” and protect the sanctity of Indian democracy. Speaking at the 61st Raising Day of the Border Security Force (BSF) in Bhuj, Gujarat , Shah  positioned the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process not merely as an administrative exercise but

India has entered a transformative new phase in its labour landscape with the formal implementation of four major labour codes—marking the largest reform of worker-rights legislation since independence. Replacing 29 outdated laws and consolidating them into a streamlined framework, the new codes promise improved security, higher transparency, better safety and significantly enhanced welfare for nearly forty crore workers across the country. This shift does not merely update l

India’s defence partnership with the United States  has advanced significantly with Washington’s approval of a major sale involving the FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile system and M982A1 Excalibur precision-guided artillery rounds. Valued at approximately US $93 million, the package strengthens India’s expanding arsenal and reflects deepening strategic alignment between the two democracies. The U.S.  Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) described the deal as consistent

India and the United States  appear to be moving steadily toward a long-awaited trade agreement, with Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal  offering a carefully optimistic assessment.

His message was clear: progress

India’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval  delivered a compelling address at the 7th Colombo Security Conclave (CSC) in New Delhi, describing the Indian Ocean as “our greatest shared heritage” and underscoring its role as the economic lifeline for millions across the region.
