Slow servers, captcha failures, inflexible data fields, and missing location entries expose severe technical challenges. Reform isn’t just about passing laws but ensuring implementation too.
Iran is no trusted ally. Indian Left’s response to strikes is sentimentalism, not policy
Indian Left’s dogmatic response to Iran strikes, even dragging in Modi’s Israel visit, is hardly surprising. Iran is no trusted ally, criticised Article 370 move.

US can’t let go of its global policeman role. How will Trump sell it to MAGA?
Trump came to power with heady anti-interventionist political rhetoric. It’s already thinning out—Venezuela, Iran. No matter how seductive it sounds on campaign trail, America can’t jettison its global policeman role so easily. MAGA must wake up to this. Will be interesting how Trump spins it to his base now.
MAGA is one hypocritical bunch. America became great piggybacking on talent from across the world. Now the MAGA brigade is simply acting like crude territorial species which wants to enjoy the fruits. They might very well become the Aurangzeb for the American empire.
