Emergency purchases have filled gaps temporarily, but India still lacks a long-term anti-tank guided missile strategy amid shifting geopolitical and technological considerations.
Forced abductions of Balochis from across the country, unequitable distribution of resources, and unjust treatment have deepened the rift between the establishment and Balochistan.

At the 2001 Aalmi Mushaira in Dubai, Phoolan Devi spoke of survival, injustice, and defiance—rejecting the 'dacoit' label and demanding dignity for the oppressed.
The government’s decision to strictly control the licensing process gives it the power to use Starlink’s India entry as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Musk’s buddy Trump.
As we enter this Holi season of international relations, let's remember that strategy can always use a little colour. But, of course, this battlefield is not for the faint-hearted.
MLA Tapasi Mondal’s party switch—which she blamed on the BJP’s ‘divisive agenda’—saw a spate of communally charged comments from Suvendu Adhikari. Mamata’s lieutenants hit back in kind.
Maharashtra govt should take the Halal certification issue more seriously and approach the court. A counter ‘Malhar’ certification may not be the right answer.
By mixing Indian maximalism with Western minimalism, desi influencers are using the hippie Met Gala to bring about a quiet revolution in festival dressing.
The reopening of the Strait of Hormuz eases supply fears, but controlled shipping, slow output recovery, and high costs may delay oil flow normalisation for months.
This special edition of Cut The Clutter, straight from the Siliguri corridor, details the strategic importance of the narrow strip of land in West Bengal, and how it’s a vital link connecting the Northeast to the rest of India.

Would “weaponsising” the water flow under IWT first impact the agriculture and livelihoods of the locals in PoK, as the water enters Pakistan through PoK? If so, would India risk turning the locals in PoK against India, thus adversely affecting their sentiment of re-uniting with India?

Trust these people who think they are intellectual liberals, who mug up books and have zero critical thinking to come up with this narrative. If the poor in Pakistan are traumatized we should do nothing of the indus water treaty. So we just quiver in fear and so nothing because “What if we anger more muslims in pak’?? Grow some balls for god’s sake.
It is obvious India cannot stop the complete flow. The thing India can do once the kinetic exchange between the two countries is over is to renegotiate the treaty which Pakistan has refused. Do you really thank in 1960 they knew how each country would grow and what was decided then is perfect. We are also starving for water in several regions. If some feasible solution is possible to divert some part of flow that needs to be explored and executed. If India focus on the will of Pakistani poor then we might as well disband the army and surrender ourselves to anybody who wants to rule us. Any action India takes will have a price and the question is are we willing to pay the price. Similarly only way to handle Pakistan is through deterrence. Once they realise the price is too high they will stop planning having a go at India.
Honestly, nothing new in the article that continues sabre-rattling of an unstable paxtan being dangerous for India. Even in its current form it is dangerous. If tomorrow, paxtan fails because of IWT, India can help by removing restrictions once a less unfriendly govt is in place.
Whoever wrote the headline seems to have woken up today. Pakistan itself was formed on the basis of Hindu/India hatred. It continues to exist in its ragtag form only on the basis of India hatred. The IWT plays no part. The clueless author seems to have forgotten that India never lost any of the cases brought forth by Pakistan on the IWT treaty. India still doesn’t make full use of the waters allotted to it. As for international opinion the world wouldn’t be in this state of countries cared about international opinion. The Pakis themselves don’t care about international opinion when spreading terror all over the world.

Nevertheless jihad is in dna. Just built infrastructure on river. What will happen in future we will see it

They are already united against us, every one of them are. You are too blind to see that

Nothing new in Mr Swami’s analysis. The same old tired spectre of unstable Pakitan being greater danger to India.
