The November 10 blast near Delhi’s Red Fort  was initially seen as an isolated incident. But within days, investigators uncovered a far darker and more sophisticated design — a terror plan spanning multiple Indian cities, funded through secret hawala channels and guided by handlers from across the border. At the centre of this labyrinth stood a woman once known for her medical skill and soft-spoken nature: Dr Shaheen Shahid, now infamously called “Madam Surgeon.” What emerged

The Indian Navy is preparing to commission INS Mahe, the lead vessel of the Mahe-class Anti-Submarine Warfare Shallow Water Craft (ASW-SWC), on 24 November 2025 at the Mumbai Naval Dockyard. This marks a significant leap in India’s efforts to strengthen its coastal security, particularly in shallow and littoral waters where submarine threats have grown more complex. Built by Cochin Shipyard Limited (CSL), INS Mahe embodies the momentum of the Atmanirbhar Bharat  vision, refle

For years, India has lived with the same pattern: terror attacks traced back to Pakistan, routine condemnations, and a brief diplomatic back-and-forth that changed nothing on the ground. But the Pahalgam  attack in April 2025 crossed a threshold that New Delhi was no longer willing to tolerate. When 26 Indians were killed in a meticulously planned strike linked to Pakistan-based handlers, India responded not with words but with Operation Sindoor  — a military action that serv

In the icy heights of Arunachal Pradesh , where terrain often dictates the pace of military operations, the Indian Army has unveiled a breakthrough that blends innovation, necessity and indigenous engineering. At nearly 16,000 feet in the Kameng Himalayas, the Gajraj Corps has deployed an indigenously developed high-altitude mono rail system—a field innovation that promises to redefine how India sustains its frontline troops along the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Built to wi

On the evening of November 10, 2025, a powerful explosion shattered the calm near Delhi’s Red Fort  Metro Station. The blast ripped through a white Hyundai i20, killing at least thirteen people and injuring several others. Within moments, flames engulfed the car, and panic spread across one of India’s most iconic landmarks. The site, only a few hundred metres from the Red Fort’s Gate 1, transformed into a scene of chaos and fear as security forces and forensic teams rushed to

Faridabad’s Al-Falah University (AFU), once promoted as a progressive private institution serving rural and minority communities, now finds itself at the centre of two explosive controversies — an alleged accreditation fraud and a suspected terror link tied to the recent Red Fort blast in Delhi . What began as an inquiry into misleading academic claims has evolved into a full-blown investigation spanning from university governance to national security. The Al-Falah University

The Mudh‑Nyoma Airbase in eastern Ladakh  has been officially operationalised, signaling a significant enhancement of India’s defence infrastructure in the high Himalayas. Located at an altitude of nearly 13,700 feet and just a few dozen kilometres from the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China , the base strengthens India’s forward deployment capabilities and rapid response in one of the most sensitive and remote regions of the country. Air Chief Marshal V R Chaudhary mark

The heart of India’s capital trembled on November 10, 2025, when a car explosion near the historic Red Fort tore through the evening calm, killing at least eight and injuring more than twenty. The blast, which shattered windows, set vehicles ablaze, and sent shockwaves through Old Delhi, has been officially classified as a terror attack — one that threatens not just the safety of the city but the symbolic sanctity of the nation’s capital. A policeman stands guard as investiga

This deal not only secures the engines needed for India’s Light Combat Aircraft fleet but also strengthens the country’s strategic and industrial capabilities.

India has once again reiterated its steadfast commitment to the rule of law, freedom of navigation, and respect for sovereignty in the Indo-Pacific region — principles that form the bedrock of a peaceful and stable maritime order. During his address at the Indo-Pacific Regional Dialogue (IPRD) 2025, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh  underscored India’s determination to maintain an inclusive and rules-based framework for regional security. The statement comes at a time when Chin

President of India Droupadi Murmu took a sortie in a Rafale fighter jet on Wednesday at Amba

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh  has called for a complete redefinition of India’s security doctrine, urging the nation to stay perpetually prepared for “war-like situations.” Speaking at the annual session of the Society of Indian Defence Manufacturers (SIDM) in New Delhi, Singh  emphasised that India must not rely on traditional assumptions of peace and stability. The global landscape, he said, has become increasingly unpredictable — with old alliances crumbling, new conflic

When Leadership Reflects Character In October 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi  celebrated Diwali aboard INS Vikrant, India’s first indigenously built aircraft carrier. The moment was both symbolic and emotional — a leader spending the festival of lights not in the comfort of his residence, but amidst the men and women who safeguard the nation at sea. Modiji  shared sweets, interacted with Navy personnel, watched airpower demonstrations, and praised the crew’s spirit of ser

As India bids farewell to its legendary MiG-21  fighters, a new era of aerial power is taking shape. The Indian Air Force (IAF) is preparing for a significant mid-life upgrade of its most formidable fighter aircraft — the Sukhoi Su-30MKI. Often referred to as the “Super Sukhoi” project, this initiative represents India’s strategic push to enhance combat readiness, indigenise defence technology, and maintain air superiority in an increasingly volatile regional environment.

In a decisive move to enhance India’s defence preparedness and self-reliance, the Government of India has approved capital acquisition proposals worth approximately ₹79,000 crore for the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force.

As the sacred festival of Deepavali illuminates homes across Bharat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s  heartfelt letter to citizens captures the soul of a nation that has risen — from centuries of struggle to the dawn of self-confidence and unity.
