Remembering Sarwanand Kaul Premi: A Poet, Patriot, and Martyr of Kashmir on His 36th Martyrdom Anniversary
By Rohit Tikoo Hazaron saal nargis apni be-noori pe roti hai, Badi mushkil se hota hai chaman mein didavar paida. (For a thousand years, the narcissus weeps its own blindness; with great difficulty, a man of true vision is born into the garden.) — Mirza Ghalib Sarwanand Kaul Premi was one such rare visionary. Thirty-six years ago, terrorism cruelly took him and his son, Virender Kaul, from us. Their lives were extinguished not just for being taken, but for their unwavering convictions, their refusal to abandon their homeland, and their choice of dignity over fear. Sarwanan...

Pope Leo vs President Trump

Speaking in Cameroon, Africa, the pontiff warned against turning geopolitical rivalry into a civilisational struggle between Christianity and Islam, while also highlighting the dangers of deepening Shia-Sunni divisions. His remarks challenge strategic rhetoric that risks transforming a political conflict into a broader religious and identity-based confrontation with destabilising global consequences. Pope Leo has criticised leaders who spend billions on wars and said the world was “bein...

The talks termed as ‘Islamabad Talks’, lasted a full day of negotiations, which ended with a terse three-minute press conference — and without a deal. Talks between America and Iran began on Saturday afternoon and continued through the night, almost 21 hours in all. The sun had risen in Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, by the time JD Vance emerged to brief reporters....

By Fatima Baloch The demoralized Pakistan Army, struggling against the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) in Balochistan, has escalated its conflict with its western neighbor, Afghanistan.

The Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) carried out an attack in the Bannu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on February 21, 2026, in which seni...
