| Israel’s Election: Power at the Brink | | 
Asad Mirza
Israel’s October 27 vote is a referendum on leadership after three years of war, but its consequences reach far beyond the ballot: from Gaza’s future to Iran, Washington and regional stability.
Benjamin Netanyahu’s political strength rests on a potent argument: that Israel faces existential threats and that he alone has the experience and resolve to confront them. He has presented the wars involving Gaza, Lebanon and Iran as evidence that his government has weakened Israel’s adversaries. For voters whose overriding concern is security, that record can outweigh... |

| | Tactical Weaponization of Tiranga: Shield or Patriotism? | | Straight Talk | 
K. B. Jandial
The Cockroach Janata Party’s “Lehra Do Tiranga" march at Connaught Place on 16th October has triggered a debate on use of the National Flag as an emotional shield against administrative action. The authorities on the ground face a catch-22 situation- if they stop or detain the agitators carrying the Tricolour marching in violation of prohibitory orders, they are criticised for penalising people “for waving the Tiranga.” And if they didn’t, they will be failing in their duty in enforcing law and order, and can be hauled up for dereliction of duties.
This dynamic wa... |

A Note on the Global Jihad, the Genocide of Kashmiri Pandits, and the Lessons for Our Future :
I. The Genocide of 1990
The Kashmiri Pandits , the original inhabitants of the Kashmir Valley, with a civilizational presence stretching back thousands of years, were driven out of their homeland in 1990. It began with the targeted killings of prominent community members, hit lists pasted on doors, and threatening slogans blared from mosques. Within months, nearly the entire community. Lakhs of people fled the Valley, abandoning homes, temples, orchards, land, an... |

| | Panun Kashmir: The Unaddressed National Imperative | | SANKALP | 
By Kuldeep Raina
For nearly four decades, the greatest human tragedy of the subcontinent has remained unaddressed. The continued genocide, forced exodus and persecution of the indigenous people of the Kashmir Valley, the Kashmiri Pandits, has been put under the carpet by successive governments. This has happened in a country that prides itself on being the largest democracy and a sovereign, socialist, secular republic.
The question is fundamental: how can a nation ignore its own people when their very survival is at stake?
Instead of treating this as a pressing national issue,... |

| | US’s Russia Sanctions Threatens India Unduly | | |
Asad Mirza
India’s warning over Washington’s Russia sanctions law is more than a tariff dispute. It is a defence of strategic autonomy, energy security, and the right to conduct foreign policy without extraterritorial coercion. China’s guarded response shows a larger contest: who sets Asia’s economic choices as war, trade, and oil converge.
The United States has moved closer to turning its Russia policy into a broad instrument of economic coercion. The US House of Representatives has approved the “Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026”, legislation that gives President Donald Trump powers to impose tariffs of up to 100 per cent on countries buying Russian oi... |

FROM BALIDAN TO SANKALP:
Spirituality, Karm Kanda and the Sustenance of Panun Kashmir
Exile as Tapasya
Memory as Sanskar
Sankalp as Dharma
A political movement may be born from circumstances, but it survives only when its purpose becomes part of the collective consciousness of its people.
This is the deeper significance of Panun Kashmir. The movement emerged from the rupture of 1990, but its continuity cannot depend solely upon those who witnessed the Exodus. A struggle that extends across generations requires more than political resolutions and o... |

Asad Mirza
As Xi and Putin land in Delhi for BRICS 2026, India juggles a China thaw, a Russia bear-hug, an Egypt embrace, a Congress civil war over “tangible benefits”, and a Middle East on fire - all under one roof at Bharat Mandapam.
New Delhi is hosting the 18th BRICS Summit at a combustible moment - Xi Jinping’s first India visit in seven years, Putin’s fresh arrival, a Congress spat over BRICS’s worth, and an unresolved Iran war threatening the joint declaration PM Modi desperately wants.
After chairing the grouping three times before, India is hosting its fourth BRICS pre... |
