Elections in Assam, TN, Kerala and WB might, finally, help resolve national opposition’s core dilemma. Will INDIA bloc evolve into a jointly led ‘coalition of equals’, or into a Congress-led front, as ‘first among equals’? Until this is resolved, opposition will likely remain in limbo, or “on life support”, as J&K CM Omar Abdullah put…
Sunday afternoons, in a certain version of India, still carry the faint echo of hooves. Not the hurried, honking chaos of our usual lives but a slower, more deliberate rhythm. Leather on grass, mallet meeting ball; conversation that pause mid sentence because something elegant just happened in the distance. Polo, like many good things, refuses…
As schools across India scramble to integrate artificial intelligence into the classroom, a critical realization is dawning on educators: a computer is only as smart as the person commanding it. Picture two graduates entering India’s workforce. Both have learned how to use AI fluently. One was taught to think deeply before they prompt — to…
Some victories hurt. They hurt because they carry such horrifying and heavy truths that you wish were not real. Yet they are. And even when you are on the winning side of the argument, you hurt, at the enormous sadness of the truth. For instance, when the recent report Accelerating Efforts to End Child Marriage…

In a recent research study that I was involved in, we examined the content consumption of the coming generation, what has been labelled Gen Alpha, and found something interesting. This is a generation being brought up, above all, by content. And behind it, the algorithm. The strongest influence being exerted on these young minds comes…
After US bombed Kharg Island, which handles 90% of Iranian oil exports, and dispatched marines and amphibious assault ships, such as USS Tripoli, to the region, talk of a US ground offensive has increased. But how might such an offensive unfold? Trump’s approach suggests US would aim for control of Persian Gulf coastline, not conquest….
Right now, the world is a bit uncertain because of tensions between countries like the US, Israel, and Iran. When things like this happen, fuel prices and supply can get risky. That’s why switching to electric cars (EVs) is a smart idea — they don’t depend on petrol or diesel. Sounds great, right? But there’s…
