His induction marked a turning point in his career, showing how he went from being a background organiser to a respected party official. He previously managed major organisational efforts in his father's Lucknow constituency and co-convened the membership campaign for the Awadh region.

SHIVANI UJJAINWALAugust 18, 20250

War’s Cruelty: The Innocent Pay the Price! During the Israel-Iran War of 2025, thousands of innocent civilians bore the brunt of relentless airstrikes, missile attacks, and ground clashes. Residential areas, hospitals, and schools were hit, leading to mass casualties among non-combatants. Women and children suffered the most; many were killed, severely injured, or left homeless as entire neighbourhoods turned to rubble.  Displacement camps became overcrowded with scarce food, water, and medical aid, exposing survivors to disease and hunger. Countless children were orphaned, traumatised by the violence they witnessed. In addition, both sides reportedly took civilians as hostages for leverage, leaving families shattered and living in fear. The war created a humanitarian catastrophe

Heirs from Political Dynasties: Nishant Kumar

Samriti DhatwaliaAugust 18, 20250

Over the years, Nishant Kumar has consistently emphasized his spiritual interests and detachment from political ambition. In July 2024, he publicly declared: “I am walking on the path of spirituality… I decided to purchase a speaker to listen to the bhajan ‘Hare Rama Hare Krishna’ with good sound.” Kumar stated directly that he had chosen not to join politics. Earlier in 2017, he similarly remarked, “I have no interest, nor any knowledge of how to do politics… I will lead a spiritual life instead”.  This spiritual focus sets a tone of personal discipline and introspection, sharply distant from political ambition.    Nishant Shifts Toward Public Visibility Nishant initially stayed out of politics, but starting in early 2025, he started to make sparse public appearances in suppor

The Ultimate Reality Show: Trump edition

Our CorrespondentJuly 23, 20250

By Rama Kashyap  An extraordinary scene was orchestrated in the White House. Lights in the Oval Office were dimmed to show video clippings of purported genocide against whites to South African President Ramaphosa. Right in front of the television cameras, unfounded accusations were hurled at the visiting dignitary. The shameful spectacle was reminiscent of Ukrainian President Zelensky’s February visit, when he was humiliated in a similar fashion in the full glare of TV cameras. The scriptwriter, lead actor and director of the scene were all rolled in one –the current occupant of the White House. Ever since Donald Trump assumed Presidency, the presidential setting has been transformed into a stage for reality TV—a genre that thrives on manufactured conflict, emotional outbu
