In the wake of India’s latest precision strikes, the government sent not only a military response, but a symbolic one — a message of unity, resolve, and justice that echoed far beyond the battlefield. The strikes, officially named Operation Sindoor, came after a brutal terror attack in Pahalgam where victims were selected and executed based […]

India has begun a bold overhaul of reservoir capacity at two major hydroelectric projects in Kashmir, in a decisive move following the suspension of a decades-old water-sharing pact with Pakistan.

Indian Muslims are, for the first time, in such a pitiable position, being seen as ‘traitors’ by many of their countrymen. They are not directly responsible, but terrorists from across the border have taken them down, with evidence mounting in the public to this effect. TV grabs show pictures of tourists who were gunned down […]

A pivotal moment beckons India in its sociopolitical landscape, with the government deciding to conduct a caste census alongside the upcoming national Census.

[…]
Following the terror attacks in Pahalgam, which were reportedly linked to elements within Pakistan, a sequence of retaliatory actions from India was only expected.

For as long as my living memory can recall, military presence has been an intrinsic part of Jammu and Kashmir’s landscape. After the 1990 insurgency, every inch of the land was mapped, particularly in the Kashmir region, and military presence became much more dense than it was during my childhood. Unless you moved to the […]

In what is a marked shift in the strategic calculus of South Asia’s diplomacy, India has placed the Indus Water treaty “in abeyance”.

This picture now serves as a dark symbol of the blatant assault that targeted unarmed civilians who were […]
The NYT has noted that “the direct language” Modi has used against Muslims contrasts with the image he presents globally. In recent years, the Hindutva Right and BJP leaders have often used “puncturewalla”, a colloquial term for someone who repairs tyre punctures, as a slur against working-class Muslims in India. On Monday (April 14), Prime […]
