(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.

As expected, the United States and Iran failed to reach a peace deal after high-stakes talks in the Pakistani capital, with American Vice President JD Vance saying Tehran refused to accept Washington’s terms after 21 hours of talks in Islamabad.

Talks between America and Iran began on Saturday afternoon and continued through the night, almost 21 hours in all.
