The killings of 1 police and 3 Army officers in Anantnag this week was a grim reminder of growing militancy in the Pir Panjal region, which spans Poonch and Rajouri districts of Jammu.
New jihadist units operate out of caves, shepherds’ shelters on Pir Panjal without contacting local support networks. Many commanders ignoring basic skills, say intelligence officer.
Districts of Poonch, Rajouri & Jammu face heavy shelling from Pakistan — these are areas where Hindu population increases as one goes southwards, from 3.04% in Baramulla to 84.27% in Jammu.
The attack on Chhayanaut, newspaper offices, and the public lynching of a Hindu man show that Bangladesh is heading toward Islamist rule, far removed from electoral democracy.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
If Pathaan gave both conservatives and liberals room to hide, Dhurandhar extends no such courtesy. Aditya Dhar ripped open that tent of hypocrisy and turned the knife.
Especially true for Maharashtra, where the gap is a few weeks. Elections to municipal corporations pending for upto four years. 2. ONOE as a political project rests on the assumption of an electoral tsunami sweeping all in its path. May have been true in 2014 and 2019, not in 2024. Even then, the South and East were largely insulated. Now more likely a reversion to the general election being a sum of states affair.
