The Supreme Court of India has restrained further exhumation of tribal Christian graves in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar region, stepping into a dispute that raises fundamental questions about dignity, equality and religious freedom. At stake is whether constitutional protections extend fully to burial rights, and whether belonging in a village can be made conditional on faith.

The war did not expand overnight — it deepened. Russia and Ukraine are no longer contesting ground as much as endurance. Power grids, fuel depots and logistics corridors have become the true front lines. Each strike now carries an economic echo, rippling through European markets before it settles on the battlefield. This is warfare by infrastructure — quiet, calculated, and built to last.

Galgotias is not the disease; it is a symptom. The deeper crisis lies in the steady commercialisation of private higher education, where universities increasingly compete for enrolment like corporations chasing market share. When growth targets eclipse academic purpose, students risk becoming customers and degrees risk becoming commodities. The problem, then, is not one campus — it is the logic that now governs too many of them.

As nuclear talks resumed in Geneva, warships moved through the Gulf. Washington spoke of defence; Tehran spoke of deterrence. Markets spoke of risk. This is diplomacy under shadow — negotiation and coercion running side by side. Neither side wants war, yet neither can appear weak. In that tension lies the real signal: talks are alive, but trust is not.

A penal code is not symbolic — it defines the boundary of protection. By narrowing domestic violence to visible injury, the state redraws that boundary, deciding whose suffering counts and whose does not.

India’s AI summit is less about announcements and more about ambition. It marks a shift from being a technology consumer to trying to shape global AI, a transition that will ultimately be judged by execution rather than rhetoric.

Russia’s share of India’s oil imports fell to its lowest level since 2022 in January, as Indian refiners diversified supplies amid changing prices and market conditions, signalling a gradual rebalancing of the country’s energy basket.

I was suspended from Jamia for leading a students’ protest and told that people from middle-class backgrounds like mine had no right to protest. A letter was sent to my parents branding me “anti-academic”. Today, the same man lectures Muslims on democracy, while those who invite him seem unaware of what transpired at Jamia before 2014. Memory, however, does not forget.

Over 220 Indian and international activists have issued a solidarity statement warning that renewed violence threatens the women-led democratic experiment in North and East Syria.

In a political landscape shaped by ambiguity and post-2019 disillusionment, Agha Ruhullah Mehdi has emerged as a distinctive voice in Jammu and Kashmir. This essay examines how his consistent reliance on constitutional argument, willingness to dissent from his own party, and engagement with questions of memory, accountability, and civil liberties have repositioned him within the region’s political discourse.

The CAA did not create Muslim anger; it triggered it. What followed was not a single-issue protest but the release of decades of accumulated injustice, as Muslims took to the streets not to defend abstractions, but to assert their right to exist as equal citizens.

The Hindu Sena has petitioned President Murmu to release Dara Singh, citing his 26 years behind bars and “exemplary” prison behaviour. Singh was convicted for the 1999 killing of missionary Graham Staines and his two sons. The group claims the reformative purpose of the sentence has been served.
