AS Assam heads toward the 2026 Assembly elections, governance under the present regime appears to be increasingly defined not by policy or performance, but by the systematic cultivation of hate and communal division. What should have been a democratic contest over livelihoods, development and accountability is being reshaped into a campaign built on intimidation, polarisation and calculated spectacle. The conduct of the Assam Chief Minister has ceased to...
WITH the Trump administration adopting brutally repressive measures not just against immigrants but even against US citizens, a tendency has emerged within American liberal circles to look towards Europe for providing a “third way”, a “model” different from both China and the US, the two major powers in contention in today’s world.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi surrendered to the diktats of US Imperialism and agreed to a humiliating lop-sided trade deal by seriously compromising India’s sovereignty. The “deal” announced unilaterally by Donald Trump over his social media platform, and welcomed by Narendra Modi on X, seems more like a promise extracted with a boot on the throat.

Out of the 300-member parliament, they secured 212 seats. BNP alone won 209, received 49.97 per cent of the total votes— its largest victory...
In January 2026, US President Donald Trump declared Cuba to be an ‘unusual and extraordinary threat’ to US security – a designation that allows the United States government to use sweeping economic restrictions traditionally reserved for national security adversaries.
