15 August 2025 It is ironic how the V Day for East ( symbolising the ceremonial surrender of Japan at the end of WW2) would be chosen as Indian Day of Independence by the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in South East Asia, who was also the last Viceroy of India, Earl Lord Mountbatten […]

3 August 2025 Shortly the world will go through the mindless commemoration of 80th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August. Humans will connect with such a passage of time, by remembering that a 1000 full moons have borne witness in this period. And the Gaza Holocaust is going through its final […]
28 June 2025 The first list must be made of PM Benjamin Netanyahu who has managed to stave off a possible judicial unseating on corruption charges so far by using ‘Emergency’ declared repeatedly for better part of last two years as Israel has launched one war after another in the bargain.

7 August 2024 Most of India and the world was caught unawares by how quickly over the weekend a PM of long standing was coerced into a corner and had to flee her country.
