Farooq Sulehria discusses the crisis along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, the misconceptions within Pakistan’s military establishment, and the shifting global and regional power landscape.
The author reflects on the evolution of her intellectual political relationship to China, a journey that began with limited knowledge of a seemingly far-away land and ends with a nuanced understanding grounded in her on-the-ground experiences as a visiting professor at Peking University.
The atrocities committed by Western imperialist countries against people all over the world over the last several centuries have been so horrendous that using the term “civilization” to cover such behavior appears grotesque.
Centuries of plunder, forced labour and extraction built the wealth of Europe while impoverishing the Global South. The debt owed is not symbolic; it is measurable, moral and political. Reparations are not charity—they are justice long overdue.
‘Climate Talks End With “Empty Deal” That Fails on Forests, Finance, and Fossil Fuels’: COP30 concluded on Saturday in Brazil with a deal that does not even include the words “fossil fuels”—the burning of which scientists agree is the primary cause of the climate crisis. Also: ‘COP30: The Shift to Green Capitalism Fails to Materialise’; and: ‘COP30 Isn’t a Failure — It’s a Farce’.
‘Corruption Festers in India, But No Outrage in Modi Raj’; ‘Modi Govt Oversaw Plan to Steer Billions from LIC to Adani: Report’; ‘Narendra Modi’s Mammoth Bank Heist Over the Last 10 Years’; ‘Cobrapost Alleges Rs 28,874-crore “Fraud” by Anil Ambani’s Reliance ADA Group’; ‘Surely, the General Doth Protest Too Much’.

‘Raids at Kashmir Times Office in Jammu; Editors Call it “Attempt to Silence” Independent Media’; ‘Kashmir Times: A Jammu Newspaper That Stood Up for the Valley’: Established in 1954, it is considered to be an influential and credible voice in Kashmir’s media landscape.
The tenth part of a series of articles on ‘India’s Education Journey from Macaulay to NEP’. Since universities are crucial spaces for questioning authority and expressing dissent, ever since the Modi Government came to power in 2014, it has launched a vicious assault on our universities to bring them under its ideological control. This article discusses this assault on our universities.
