30 May 2024 Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru whose anniversary just went past us, would never have glimpsed World History in the manner of how these past 200 odd days have gone by. The respect, the adoration in fact, that Nehru had for Western values and its modern scientific culture, its sense of liberalism, freedoms and humanism […]

28 April 2024 When American Congress voted to allocate a further 61Billion $ US to Ukraine for this year, the aid came along with a 17 Billion $ US for Israel. Comparatively Ukraine received significantly reduced outlay for carrying out operations against the Russians who are now geographically redefining the SMO by regularly reducing Ukrainian […]
22 April 2024 Apparently the night of 13 April belonged to Iran, but the night of 19 April could be the night that belonged not to Israel but to the Coalition of Common Sense. In what can be termed as explosive, Mr Pepe Escobar on X revealed that according to his Asian sources, an Israeli. […]
17 April 2024 At the time of writing, IDF is yet to retaliate against Iran’s fireworks in the sky a few days back. Many observed that it was a night of great significance, almost Biblical when in Moses’ miracles, first born in every house were smitten by the Lord God. For one sitting far removed […]

18 January 2024 There is at play what we call the forces of unintended consequences, those small probables and pieces that when set upon, provoke a domino effect creating a series of ever rising ripples that finally create a tsunami. We don’t quite know when it all started, we can hazard a few educated guesses […]
11 January 2024 The headlines are quite misleading, editorials are even more so.
