| 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... |

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.

| | Bending Without Breaking: The Myth of Gen Z 'Regime Change’ | | Straight Talk | |
K B Jandial
At times, an authoritarian family head bends to resolve discord and protect unity and harmony. While the family views this compromise as wise, neighbours might see it as a weakening of parental authority and the beginning of family division. Regardless of perceptions, the immediate crisis is averted. A nation is no different—a larger family where state authority occasionally bends before friction escalates out of hand. This is what has happened in India recently.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi yielded to the little-known Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). Led by one, Abhijeet Dipke, a former AAP communication strategist, the Gen Z movement emerged from nowhere. Despite its ... |

Asad Mirza

Between countering terrorism, courting Central Asia's resources and outflanking China, the summit will test how far India's Eurasian ambitions can travel.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) was founded in 2001, evolving out of the "Shanghai Five" security dialogue among China, Russia and three Central Asian states formed after the Soviet collapse. The SCO gives India a rare platform to engage Russia and China simultaneously while pressing its own agenda on terrorism, connecti... |

| | Managed Pluralism: Tokayev’s Constitutional Gamble in Kazakhstan | | |
Asad Mirza
Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s ongoing political reset in Kazakhstan, represents a calculated effort, to restructure state power under the narrative of progressive constitutional reform.
Following sweeping amendments to the country's constitutional framework, the establishment of a new unicameral legislature - the Kurultai - marks a defining moment in Central Asian politics. While framed by the administration as a modernisation step to streamline governance and enhance representation, the restructuring reinforces the central authority of the presidency.
At the heart of this strategy is the concept of "managed pluralism." By dismantling former power netw... |

There is a simple truth that we often forget: a society cannot move forward if half of its population is held back. Women are not merely members of families; they are students, teachers, doctors, farmers, entrepreneurs, artists, administrators, scientists, leaders, caregivers, and countless other things. They contribute to society in ways that are sometimes visible and sometimes unnoticed. Yet, despite their contributions, many women still have to fight for opportunities and respect that should naturally belong to every human being.That is why women empowerment is ... |
