The Nexus: Engineering an Ethno-State

THE 'Democratic Republic' enshrined in the Preamble of the Indian Constitution faces an existential crisis. In recent years, a meticulously planned assault on the electoral system has surfaced, using the facade of 'logical discrepancies' to terrorise millions of voters. This campaign specifically targets religious minorities and the impoverished. The Election Commission of India (ECI), once a bastion of constitutional neutrality, has abdicated its autonomy to become a subservient tool of the RSS-BJP-led central government.

Imperialism’s Assault on Third World Sovereignty

The Hyper-Imperialism of the United States Bloc: Venezuela, Cuba, Iran

WHEN the new year began, no-one anticipated that events would begin to move at a supersonic speed. Before the world’s billions can digest one issue – the kidnapping of the President of Venezuela – the United States and its allies moved on rapidly to another – the suffocation of the Cuban Revolution, and then the bombing of Iran. Each issue required information and thought, deep consideration of the complexity of each of these actions of the US and its hyper-imperialist bloc.

West Bengal’s 2026 Budget: What Mamata’s Liberal Friends Refuse to Acknowledge

THE 2026–27 West Bengal budget, a Rs 4.06 lakh crore roadmap titled ‘Bengals Pride’, marks 15 years of a government defined by a carefully maintained image of pro-poor progressivism.

Saffron Fallout: Judiciary Feels RSS Pinch

ON February 26, 2026, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Surya Kant launched a scathing reprimand over portions of a Class 8 social science textbook. “Deep-rooted conspiracy”, “very, very calculated move”, “reckless, irresponsible, motivated, contemptuous conduct and manner” were some of the phrases used by the CJI. “They fired the gun and the judiciary is bleeding today,” he said, and declared that “heads must roll.”
