The Death of the Mandate!
The Death of the Mandate!
The parallel defection dramas playing out in West Bengal and Maharashtra should worry us deeply as voters. They do not merely serve as a grim reminder of the growing crisis within our electoral democracy; they make a complete mockery of our choices in the polling booth.

The Fragile Strait: Why the US-Iran Deal is Crashing on the Reefs of Lebanon

The Multibillion-Dollar Toll of the 15-Week Iran War
The swift conclusion of the 15-week war with Iran, capped by a preliminary peace deal signed electronically by President Trump and to be formalised at the Palace of Versailles in near future brings a welcome pause to open hostilities. Yet, the signing of a treaty at the very site of the ill-fated World War I accords serves as a chilling reminder of how easily short-sighted military actions can cast long
