India- a beacon of hope in the tumultuous global landscape!
In the fractured, fragmented and fragile geopolitical situation that exists in the world today, the trade agreement between India and the European Union gives a glimmer of hope amidst the gloomy situation all around.

Let’s not fall into the pit of Matsya-nyaya again!
The nature, as it exists, is brutal out there. You see the animal kingdom, where the bigger and stronger eats the smaller and meek. There is only one law- “might is right”. In the oceans, there is Matsya-nyaya (मत्स्य न्याय), meaning “the bigger fish eats the smaller fish”. It is the law of nature that…

Soul- the quintessential factor that infuses life into anything!
A body without a soul, an organization without organisational values (it’s soul), work without involvement (it’s soul), pursuing anything without a purpose (it’s soul), is as lifeless as a deadwood. Without the soul or the core thing, every other factor that determines the outer characteristics of these things is a farce and a sham. Without…

Let there be a war, an eternal war- albeit of a different sort!
In the animal world, whenever any individual animal or a group of animals has(ve) to prove dominance over the other individual animal or a group of animals, there is only one way! No brownie points for guessing- it is the WAR and only WAR! War or synonymously violence, is their only mechanism to resolve the…

Traditions and modernism OR traditions vs. modernism- that is the question!
We live in the self-proclaimed age of modernism. And we (here ‘we’ denotes humanity collectively) believe ourselves to be the most modern and most advanced of any of the human generations that have ever existed on this planet.

With the inauguration of the new government, the US moved with the pace of light to establish a new government department called DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), to fulfill long-cherished pre-poll promise. And with the world’s wealthiest businessman (a non-government and non-elected person) as its head, the DOGE is turning out to be a Frankenstein…
