One belt, one road to world leadership

What Modi established with Silicon Valley focus

The rise of Modi with a full majority in Lok Sabha has raised global expectations. That’s why there is a great deal of work left to do.

Abki Baar, U-turn sarkar

Morocco signs pact with Tata for joint manufacture of WhAP Infantry Fighting Vehicle

The armoured platform is India's first amphibious infantry combat wheeled vehicle. Last year, the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces had procured 90 military trucks from the Tata Group.

Islam doesn’t kill democracy. The army-Islam combo does

How come Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey and Sri Lanka remain constitutional, democratic and stable despite Islam and Buddhism respectively, but Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar don’t?
