A sudden night attack in Kabul leaves hundreds dead, prompting international concern and raising questions about regional stability and India’s strategic posture. The Tragic Event in Kabul On the evening of March 16, 2026, Kabul was rocked by a series of explosions that struck the city’s Secondary Rehabilitation Services Centre, a hospital treating drug addicts. Taliban officials claim at least 400 people were killed and over 250 injured. Witnesses describe scenes of fire and panic, with one survivor recalling, “The whole place caught fire. It was like doomsday. My friends were burning in the fire, and we could not save…

Amid escalating strikes between Israel and Iran, viral claims of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s death have spread rapidly online. Proof-of-life videos released by his office – from a casual coffee run to an outdoor walk – aim to quash the speculation, but anomalies spotted by eagle-eyed users have only intensified the deepfake debate. As disinformation collides with real-time warfare, the episode reveals how artificial intelligence is reshaping trust in leadership during conflict. “I say to the Iranian people: The moment when you can embark on a new path of freedom – that moment is approaching.” – Benjamin Netanyahu, in his…

If the first quarter of the 21st century has revealed anything with uncomfortable clarity, it is that progress, left unguided by equity and foresight, does not automatically yield stability. The global landscape of 2026 is marked by overlapping layers of fragility: active wars, simmering political unrest, economic precarity and social divisions that cut through nations irrespective of wealth or ideology. From regions ravaged by armed conflict to affluent societies grappling with internal discontent, the common thread is not merely crisis but systemic imbalance, an imbalance that raises pressing questions about the trajectory of the international order. It is now widely…

In the grand narrative of human advancement, the past century has been marked by breathtaking technological progress, the expansion of global trade, unprecedented growth in life expectancy and the affirmation at least rhetorically of universal human rights. Yet beneath the surface of these achievements lies a stark paradox: the material fruits of progress are distributed so unevenly that, for most of the world’s population, they may as well be a mirage. The structural chasms of inequality today are not peripheral anomalies; they are central determinants of political instability, social fragmentation and economic stagnation. In 2025 and early 2026, the data…

In a tier-2 Indian city, an engineering graduate begins his evening shift as a delivery rider. By day, he sends job applications. By night, he navigates traffic to deliver food ordered through an app designed in another country and funded by global investors. His income fluctuates weekly. He contributes to the economy, yet owns no asset, has no long-term contract, and little social security. Scrolling through social media between deliveries, he sees images of luxury homes, startup success stories and international travel. He does not resent success, but he cannot see a pathway from his present reality to that world.…

From the ruins of ancient cities to the fissured streets of modern capitals, the tapestry of the 21st-century world remains, at its core, painfully fractured. The hopeful rhetoric that followed the Cold War’s end, the proclamations of an end of history, and the seemingly inexorable march of globalisation have, by the mid-2020s, given way to an entirely different reality: a world beset not merely by isolated flashpoints but by pervasive, systemic insecurity. As we stand in 2026, the data are unmistakable. There are 59 active state-based conflicts worldwide, the highest tally recorded since the Second World War, and violence, in…

How the World’s Most Powerful Nations Are Failing Their Own People Even in nations not overtly at war, internal divisions fester like untreated wounds. Progress and prosperity, those twin pillars of modern rhetoric, are illusions for most. In 2026, while a tiny elite jets between mansions, the majority endures hardships, including economic insecurity, social exclusion, and political disenfranchisement. This is not confined to fragile states. It is rampant in superpowers like the United States, Russia, China, and India. As a journalist who has dined with oligarchs in Moscow and visited slums in Mumbai, the pattern is unmistakable. These disparities breed…

On March 5, 2026, Tucker Carlson posted a video to his subscribers that sent shockwaves through Jewish communities across the world. Carlson, who graduated from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut with a history degree in 1991 before building the highest-rated prime-time programme in American cable news history at Fox News, had by early 2026 become the most prominent critic within the MAGA movement of the United States and Israel’s military strikes on Iran. He had found a new target. It was not the government, not the generals, and not the politicians who had authorised the campaign. It was a Hasidic…

एक चुप्पी जो नीति बन गई कुछ असुविधाजनक आर्थिक सच्चाइयाँ एक ख़ास तरह की चुप्पी में दफ़न रहती हैं। यह अज्ञान की चुप्पी नहीं होती। यह एक सोची-समझी चुप्पी होती है। दशकों से भारत ने फ़िलिस्तीनी स्वतंत्रता का समर्थन किया है। संयुक्त राष्ट्र में फ़िलिस्तीनी राज्य के पक्ष में बार-बार मतदान किया है। वेस्ट बैंक और गोलान हाइट्स में इज़राइली बस्तियों को अंतरराष्ट्रीय क़ानून का उल्लंघन बताया है। यह भारत का आधिकारिक रुख़ है। पर कॉर्पोरेट ढाँचों, सरकारी अनुबंधों और श्रम समझौतों को ध्यान से देखें तो एक और कहानी सामने आती है। भारतीय संस्थाएँ, निजी और साझेदारी के ज़रिये…

दो लड़के, एक सरहद मिरपुर के पास किसी गाँव का एक बाईस साल का लड़का था। उसके पिता मक्का उगाते थे। घर में दो बकरियाँ थीं। उसने कभी पासपोर्ट नहीं देखा था। जिस सरहद पर उसे अपनी जान देने को भेजा गया था, वह सरहद उसने नहीं खींची थी। सरहद के उस पार एक और लड़का था। तेईस साल का। मथुरा के किसी किसान घर का बेटा। उसकी भी एक माँ थी। उस पर भी कर्ज़ था। उसकी बहन की शादी भी रुकी पड़ी थी। इन दोनों ने यह सरहद नहीं खींची थी। इन दोनों ने यह नहीं चुना था।…
