America has not stumbled into its wars. It has built, funded, lobbied, and legislated its way into every single one. Fadhel Al Nashmi was a secondary school mathematics teacher in Basra. On the morning of 20th March 2003, he had thirty one students in his classroom, a piece of chalk in his hand, and a quadratic equation on the board behind him. By nightfall, the building had no roof.

Next week, the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation flags off 50 high-tech buses under the “Rajmata Jijau” brand, equipped with panic buttons and live tracking. But beyond the ribbon-cutting and the fresh paint lies a deeper question: is this a genuine revolution for the common commuter, or just a digital facelift for a legacy system that has long tested the patience of rural Maharashtra? The red bus has always been the heartbeat of rural Maharashtra. For decades, the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation, or MSRTC, has been the only link between remote villages and the buzzing energy of Mumbai or…

March 17 has witnessed a striking variety of events that influenced history across continents and eras. From early diplomatic openings to scientific advances, tragic wartime acts, and cultural milestones, the date holds diverse significance. Here is a strictly chronological look at ten notable moments.

Financial markets have deepened. Yet the distribution of these gains has been strikingly uneven. A small fraction of humanity now controls a dominant share of global wealth.
