DARJEELING IMBROGLIO : Respite in Constitutional Provisions.

The question of autonomy of Darjeeling hills is no longer an issue of mere administrative reforms, it has been the true reflection of the complex mosaic of the Indian federal structure, development of a community with self identity, distinctive language, culture and an effective movement for the protection of land rights.

The State Against the Body

Within weeks of each other, India’s legislature and its highest court delivered two verdicts on the same question: who owns your body? The answer, in both cases, was the same. There are moments in a nation’s legislative history when one can almost hear the grinding of gears in reverse. The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill, 2026 is precisely such a moment. And on March 13, 2026, the Supreme Court of India dismissed a plea for paid menstrual leave.

Kill Chain: How Silicon Valley's AI Powers the Imperial War on Iran

ON February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury, striking 1,000 targets in Iran within the first 24 hours. By mid-March, the number had crossed 6,000. Behind this staggering pace of destruction lay not just the familiar arsenal of Tomahawk missiles, B-2 stealth bombers and carrier-based fighters, but a new weapon in the imperial toolkit: artificial intelligence.
