‘US Snubs India’s War on Terror’; ‘Who Is India’s All-Weather Friend in This World?’; ‘Nehru’s Vision of Foreign Policy Assumes Greater Relevance in Wake of the Modi Regime’s Abject Failures’.
‘People’s Commission Expresses Deep Concern Over India’s Emerging Nuclear Strategy’: The organisation cited potential safety risks and impact on country’s self-reliance in nuclear power. It called for setting up a nuclear regulatory authority. Also: Letter to PM Modi on this issue by E.A.S. Sarma, former Secretary to GOI.
“View from Bangladesh: India Has Lost its Moral Edge as an Example of Handling Pluralism”: Systemic repression of its own minorities, especially Muslims, will not bring the country closer to security or stability. Also: “In Assam, ‘Indigenous’ Means Many Things—Until it Means Muslim”.
The paucity of demand in the Indian economy is not a temporary phenomenon, occasioned by demonetisation, lockdowns, or the like. It is an underlying condition of the Indian economy as a whole.

A budget of Rs. 86,000 crore in FY26 is grossly insufficient and clearly shows that livelihood security for rural poor is not a priority for the Modi government.

Also: “‘Lazy’ Workforce or ‘Arrogant’ Government? Row Over Andhra Ordinance Allowing Ten-Hour Workdays”.
