BETWEEN JOURNALISM AND POLITICAL ADVOCACY: THE CONTESTED POSITION OF KASHMIR TIMES IN THE KASHMIR CONFLICT
Kashmir Times emerged in 1954 as a weekly publication founded by journalist Ved Bhasin, gradually evolving into a daily newspaper by 1964 in what historians describe as one of the earliest English-language press institutions operating from Jammu and later the Kashmir Valley. Researchers of South Asian media often reference Bhasin’s ideological commitments, and a number of commentators argue that his political sympathies aligned with Kashmiri self-determination narratives, inc

INVESTIGATING IAMC, JAMAAT-LINKED U.S. NETWORKS, AND THE GLOBAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST RSS.
In recent years, a sustained transnational campaign has portrayed the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh) — a century-old Indian cultural and nationalist organization — as a foreign-influenced entity that ought to register under the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) rather than as a standard cultural outreach group under the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA) . Proponents of this narrative, notably the media outlet Prism , argue that RSS’s international engagements pose

ADAM SMITH’S DOCTRINE OF NATURAL LIBERTY: BHARAT-UK FTA
The publication of Adam Smith’s seminal work An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations in 1776 marked a civilizational pivot, not merely for Britain but for the global economic consciousness that would follow over the next two and a half centuries. Smith’s doctrine of “natural liberty,” premised on the belief that human enterprise flourishes best in an environment of minimal restrictions, provided the intellectual scaffolding for what later evolved into

A CRITICAL STUDY OF THE INDIRA GANDHI PEACE PRIZE AND THE MICHELLE BACHELET PARADIGM
In the long arc of post-colonial global politics, awards that are ostensibly created to “promote peace” often become political instruments that shape international narratives, influence domestic debates, and manufacture legitimacy for ideological networks that transcend national borders, and the Indira Gandhi Peace Prize stands as one such mechanism whose framing, recipients, and geopolitical linkages increasingly demand a more rigorous national-interest-oriented scrutiny.

YOUTH, IDEOLOGY, AND POWER VACUUM: THE RE-EMERGENCE OF JAMAAT-E-ISLAMI
Bangladesh’s political reconfiguration after Sheikh Hasina’s departure in 2024 did not merely shift power; it opened a vacuum in a nation where power vacuums are rarely neutral. When Mohammad Yunus assumed the role of Chief Advisor and promised an election in 2026, many observers thought Bangladesh would enter a predictable, technocratic transition. But the country’s political ecosystem, shaped by decades of ideological contestation and unfinished historical wounds, had alrea

THE GLOBAL RISE OF FEMALE RADICALISATION NETWORKS AND THE NEXT STAGE OF HYBRID. TERRORISM.
Jaish-e-Mohammed’s renewed focus on women is being sold as a strategic evolution, but in reality it is nothing more than the recycling of old poison in a new, deceptive bottle. For decades, Pakistan’s deep state has experimented with layered psychological and operational templates in Kashmir. Dukhtaran-e-Millat provided the optics, the public face of modesty enforcement, street-level agitation and soft radicalisation of women; Jaish-e-Mohammed supplied the guns, the doctrine

THE TURKISH SHADOW OVER DELHI: HOW A RED FORT BLAST LED TO ANKARA.
“The Red Fort blast did not just expose a terror plot―it exposed a foreign ideology breathing down India’s neck.” In the immediate aftermath of the Red Fort blast, public suspicion instinctively drifted towards Pakistan, the habitual architect of cross-border terrorism against India, yet digital forensics and communication intercepts led investigators somewhere far more unexpected: Ankara. For the first time, a major terror-linked trail from Indian soil connected directly to

THE NEW ENCIRCLEMENT OF INDIA’S MARITIME BASTION: US–PAKISTAN MOVES IN THE INDIAN OCEAN AND MALDIVES’ POTENTIAL ROLE AS A ‘LILY PAD’🧰
For centuries, North India has witnessed invasions, land wars, and large-scale civilizational contests―from Panipat to Plassey to 1947, 1965, 1971 and the Kargil conflict of 1999. But today’s strategic reality presents a stark paradigm shift: India’s next major confrontation will not unfold on land, but across the vast maritime expanse that surrounds the Indian peninsula. For the first time in modern history, India’s southern flank―traditionally secure, uncontested, and prote

HAFIZ SAEED’S SHADOW OVER BANGLADESH:PAKISTAN EASTERN JIHAD
Shri tejas s.dodia Kautilya has given the Mandal Siddhant, which is concentric circles showing different mandals. It is based on the view that neighbours are natural enemies. Since land is the source of material welfare, neighbours aim to acquire the same piece of land…to achieve that aim, Kautilya has given a strategy of SHADGUNYA SIDDHANT (six-fold policy), which is to be used as per the situation. A shadow is moving quietly and deliberately across the map of South Asia, on

THE DYNASTY PARADOX: PUBLIC HUMILIATION, CASTE INSENSITIVITY, AND THE GANDHI FAMILY’S POLITICAL MOLD
भारतीय राजनीति में कई परिवर्तन आए, नए नेता उभरे, नई पार्टियाँ बनीं, लेकिन एक चीज़ दशकों से बिल्कुल नहीं बदली— गांधी परिवार का व्यवहार, उनका सत्ता-केंद्रित राजनीतिक दृष्टिकोण और जनता को केवल चुनावी “स्टेज” की तरह इस्तेमाल करने की आदत। आज जो घटनाएँ राहुल गांधी के इर्द-गिर्द सामने आ रही हैं, वे कोई नई या अलग बात नहीं; यह उसी पुराने राजनीतिक डीएनए की निरंतरता है, जिसे उनकी पूरी वंशावली पालन करती आयी है। ताज़ा रिपोर्टें बताती हैं कि राहुल गांधी ने उन कांग्रेस नेताओं को बुरी तरह अ

THE ECOSYSTEM FACTORY: GROOMING YOUNG MINDS FOR LEFTIST PROPAGANDA
भारत में उदारवादी–सेक्युलर–वामपंथी इकोसिस्टम जिस प्रकार युवा प्रतिभाओं को शुरुआती स्तर से “संरक्षित, प्रशिक्षित और उपयोग” करता है, उसका एक सटीक उदाहरण वकील एडवोकेट एम. हुजैफा के करियर-ट्रैक में स्पष्ट रूप से दिखाई देता है। उनकी प्रोफाइल देखने से यह समझना कठिन नहीं होता कि कैसे वैश्विक लेफ्ट-लिबरल नेटवर्क भारत में वैचारिक रूप से अनुकूल व्यक्तियों को चुनकर एक ऐसी मार्गरेखा पर आगे बढ़ाता है जहाँ नीति-निर्माण, मानवाधिकार विमर्श, डिजिटल एक्टिविज़्म और अंतरराष्ट्रीय एडवोकेसी — सब

THE DARK STORY BEHIND RJD’S INTERNAL COLLAPSE
उत्तर प्रदेश के बलरामपुर ज़िले का तुलसीपुर नगर पंचायत लंबे समय तक फ़िरोज़ अहमद उर्फ़ पप्पू जी की राजनीतिक पकड़ का केंद्र माना जाता था। फ़िरोज़ अहमद न सिर्फ़ चेयरमैन के पद पर वर्षों तक सक्रिय रहे, बल्कि उन्होंने अपनी राजनीतिक समझ के तहत अपनी पत्नी कहकशां को भी चेयरपर्सन बनवाया, ताकि क्षेत्र पर उनका प्रभाव निरंतर बना रहे। इसी दौरान फ़िरोज़ स्वयं को समाजवादी पार्टी में स्थापित करने और 2022 के विधानसभा चुनाव में तुलसीपुर से टिकट प्राप्त कर चुनाव लड़ने की तैयारी में जुट गए थे। क्ष

EUROPE’S SUSTAINABILITY TURN AND THE NEW POLITICS OF TRADE REGULATION
“Europe speaks of sustainability but practices regulatory unilateralism; India, a civilisation anchored in ecological balance, is forced to prove what its traditions never violated.” The European Union’s Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), scheduled for full enforcement in December 2025, represents one of the most far-reaching environmental trade regulations introduced by any major economic bloc in the 21st century. Although framed as a climate-driven instrument to curb global d

INDIA’S DIGITAL सहयात्री: THE RISE OF THE HONEST AI COPILOT
भारत की शासन-व्यवस्था एक ऐसे परिवर्तनशील मोड़ पर है, जहां कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता—विशेषकर एआई को-पायलट—अब केवल एक मशीन नहीं, बल्कि नए भारत का सबसे ईमानदार डिजिटल साथी बनकर उभर रहा है। यह वह यंत्र नहीं है जिसे मानव निर्देश दे; यह वह तकनीकी सहायक है जो नीति की भाषा समझता है, नियमों की व्याख्या करता है, नागरिकों को मार्गदर्शन देता है और निर्णय-प्रक्रिया को तथ्यों से मजबूती प्रदान करता है। सरकारी तंत्र में जहाँ कभी घंटों की लाइनें, फाइलों का अटकना, काउंटरों के चक्कर और मानवीय निर्भर
