Samriti DhatwaliaSeptember 22, 20250

Kalpana and Indian Politics  Kalpana’s transition into politics came at a moment of crisis. In January 2024, former Chief Minister of Jharkhand, Hemant Soren was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with an alleged land scam.

By Jyoti Galada Umang Galada: Youngest Organ Donor This is the story of Umang Galada, the youngest organ donor of West Bengal. It is also a story that echoes the struggles of thousands of organ failure patients across India who are waiting for a transplant—though their endings may be different.

The Power of saying ‘Yes’: A Gift of Organ Donation

Our CorrespondentSeptember 10, 20250

By Jyoti Galada There is a power we all hold as citizens, as family members, and as individuals and that is the power of saying "YES" to organ donation. A single 'yes' can save up to 8 lives and enhance the lives of 75 more. It can give organ failure patients the chance to live a normal life, restore their hope to feel included and capable, and become a blessing to families facing emotional, mental, and financial trauma. This 'yes' is most needed at one of life’s hardest moments when your loved one has been declared brain dead and is lost to you forever. Yet in that moment of loss, you can keep their legacy alive through the gift of organ donation. Before the body being buried or cremated, it can go on to give life by donating organs like the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, pancreas, a

The World Has Forgotten Us: ‘Beyond the Battlefield’

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
