Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s reply to the Motion of Thanks on the Governor’s Address during the first session of the 17th Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly on June 22 was much more than a customary response to the Governor’s speech. It was a carefully structured political statement that sought to define his Government’s priorities, articulate his ideological position and, more significantly, project his politics beyond the boundaries of Tamil Nadu. In his 40-minute address, it becomes evident that, for Vijay, Tamil Nadu is not merely the State he governs but the political platform from which he intends to build a…

In October 2025, New Delhi Post carried an exclusive report titled “Dawood is Back”, which examined allegations that fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim continued to wield influence through international networks, including links to cricket betting and match-fixing syndicates. The report argued that Dawood’s shadow had not disappeared from the game and that organised betting networks connected to the underworld continued to operate around international cricket. Several months later, former Indian Premier League (IPL) Commissioner Lalit Modi has made a series of sensational allegations that appear to echo many of the concerns raised in New Delhi Post report. In an interview…

Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has formally challenged a United Nations report on the deadly July-August 2024 protests, claiming that its estimate of protest-related deaths was grossly exaggerated and helped legitimise her government’s overthrow. In a letter sent to Volker Türk on Thursday, Hasina’s legal counsel, Steven Powles KC, urged the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) to issue a public correction and retraction of findings contained in its February 2025 fact-finding report on Bangladesh. The OHCHR report had estimated that “as many as 1,400 people” may have been killed during the protests and unrest…

ABOUT THE BOOK When Aarin enters the palace as a young bride, she believes she has found both power and sisterhood. But beneath the grandeur, jealousy simmers between her and Hemaprabha, the king’s first queen, turning friendship into rivalry and trust into betrayal.

Beyond death, deception and grief, new bonds emerge, old wounds seek healing, and a long-awaited reckoning lies hidden within the palace walls. In this bold feminist…

A National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (NOTTO) study, between 2019 and 2023, 63.8 per cent of living organ donors in India were women, while nearly 70 per cent of recipients were men. More than 36,000 women donated organs, but fewer than 18,000 received transplants. Men, in contrast, received nearly 40,000 organs. On paper, this is a dataset. In reality, it is a stark reflection of who gives, and who gets to live. At its simplest, the story is this: in India, women are conditioned to be givers at every stage of life. That expectation does not end at emotional…

Amid some recent reports circulating across sections of the media and social platforms, claims suggesting that former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina faces a threat to her life while staying in India are being viewed with scepticism in security circles. Sources familiar with the matter indicate that Indian security agencies do not share the alarmist assessment being projected in some reports. On the contrary, the prevailing view within the establishment here is that there is no credible or specific threat perception sufficient to trigger extraordinary concern. Sources conveyed that Hasina remains under a robust security umbrella and continues to be…

Marking the centenary of Cosmic Chanting in a historic spiritual moment, the Noida Ashram of the Yogoda Satsanga Society of India (YSS) hosted a divine evening of devotional chanting and meditation that drew thousands of devotees. The event commemorated the landmark evening of April 18, 1926, when Paramahansa Yogananda introduced cosmic chanting to a Western audience at Carnegie Hall, New York. The 2,800-seat hall overflowed with love as everyone present joined in the chant “O God Beautiful,” creating an atmosphere of profound spiritual transformation that lingered long after he left the stage. The same bhava (emotion) was recreated at the…
