The Trump administration's bizarre engagements with Pakistan, pressure on India over Russian energy purchases have stoked New Delhi's age-old concerns about the reliability of the US as a partner.
The Election Commission sees no reason to take the Opposition's 'vote chori' complaints seriously. 'How dare you?' is not how a sincere and honest guardian of the Constitution would respond.
India must reduce its overdependence on the US by cultivating alternative markets—concluding the EU FTA, advancing the UK deal, and exploring entry into the CPTPP, the open, rules-based bloc of Japan, Korea, and Australia.
The court order seeking the rounding up of this companion of humans over millennia is a sad story of our times, where our civilisational values have been obscured.
In his speech, Modi spoke about energy, critical minerals, electronics, defence and fertilisers. That is a more strategic approach than Nehru’s across-the-board one.
Why should local communities suffer in order to facilitate someone else’s adventures? The trickle-down effects of over-tourism reach the economy, society, and industry.
Unless dramatic reversals take place, the core of India’s foreign policy, which, at least since 2000, has focused on the US, Pakistan, China, and Russia, stands on the verge of collapse.
Gomes cooks all day long, and undertakes two rounds: The first at 5 am, when she takes an autorickshaw around and makes 22 stops; the second at 5 pm, on her little bicycle.
Tactical and ground conditions, the wait for all loose ends to tie up, festive fervour, and regimental spirit—all had some part to play in 13 April being chosen as the D-day.

We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
Ms. Ananya Bharadwaj has learnt her journalism well. From the master, Mr. Shekhar Gupta.
My observations from this cleverly worded and speciously argued article:
1. She clearly mentions that in the Chittisinghpora massacre 35 Sikh men were shot dead. But not even once does she mention that in Pahalgam, every single victim was a Hindu (the only exception being the ponywallah, a Kashmiri local who heroically resisted the terrorists).
There is a very obvious attempt to brush under the carpet the fact that the terrorists first confirmed the religion and, if Hindu, shot dead the victims. The fact that this is a clear cut case of massacre on religious lines, a hate crime, is not mentioned even once in the article.
2. The article does not even mention the role of the elected representatives of the Kashmir valley. A section of these people have been openly threatening the tourists. There are videos on the public domain which clearly show them portraying tourists as “a threat to Kashmiri culture”. Are they not responsible too?
It’s totally ok to be anti-BJP or anti-Modi.
But journalism demands the whole truth, not parts of the truth. This article only lists out parts of the truth – that too only the convenient parts.
Another question to be asked is why security personnel didn’t use choppers to reach the spot?
