Some people in #India get carried away by every flashy new ‘movement’ online. When massive follower spikes are being flagged from #Pakistan, #Bangladesh and #Turkey, it’s worth asking who is amplifying what, and why. @CJP_2029 wionews.com/photos/pakista…

Hamza Burhan, one of the key masterminds behind the 2019 Pulwama terror attack, has reportedly been shot dead by unknown gunmen in #Muzaffarabad, #POK. Another reminder of how #Pakistan’s terror networks eventually consume their own ecosystem.

🇮🇳 AFTER 14 YEARS, A U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE MAY RETURN TO KOLKATA 🇺🇸 According to reports, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio may visit Kolkata later this month during his India tour. If confirmed, this would become one of the most significant high-level American diplomatic visits to Kolkata in many years. The last U.S. Secretary of State to visit Kolkata was Hillary Clinton in 2012. People often forget that Kolkata was once one of Asia’s great diplomatic and commercial cities. The U.S. Consulate in Kolkata, established in 1792, remains America’s oldest diplomatic post in India and one of the oldest U.S. diplomatic missions anywhere in the world. Whether symbolic or strategic, such visits matter. Global diplomacy, investment, business confidence, and geopolitical visibility often follow attention. For years, Kolkata has largely remained outside the main circuit of major international political and economic engagement. If global diplomatic interest in Eastern India is now beginning to return, that is something worth paying attention to. #IndiaUSRelations #CityOfJoy

Come on Indiaaaaaaa - what a win!

A year ago, our armed forces displayed unparalleled courage, precision and resolve during #OperationSindoor. They gave a fitting response to those who dared to attack innocent Indians at Pahalgam. The entire nation salutes our forces for their valour. Operation Sindoor reflected India’s firm response against terrorism and an unwavering commitment to safeguarding national security. It also highlighted the professionalism, preparedness and coordinated strength of our armed forces. At the same time, it showcased the growing jointness among our forces and underlined the strength that India’s quest for self-reliance in the defence sector has brought to our national security. Today, a year later, we remain as steadfast as ever in our resolve to defeat terrorism and destroy its enabling ecosystem.

"Indian civilisation has been able to take on any attack because our ability to sacrifice is unlimited. We can wait 5, 50 or 500 years until we win. India's security forces take more casualties than anywhere else but you don't hear a whimper about it," said Ajit Doval in 2014

‘Saraswati Pujo, the worship of the goddess of learning in a place which was ever snooty about intellectualism, was rebranded as ‘Bengali Valentine’s Day’—the cultural insipidity and vacuousness were staggering and built deep resentment.’ - my new essay. theprint.in/opinion/bengal…

🇵🇰Pakistan just opened 6 land corridors to Iran. 6 overland routes from Karachi and Gwadar straight to the Iranian border Gabd, Taftan, multiple variants. 3rd country goods can now transit Pakistan to Iran by truck under customs oversight. 3,000+ containers were sitting stranded in Karachi, unable to sail because of Hormuz. They now have a road. Pakistan presents this as trade policy. The effect is strategic: it punches a hole in the economic logic of the US naval blockade. The blockade controls the sea not the Karakoram Highway. Oil and bulk energy flows are still choked trucks can't replace tankers at that scale. But machinery, consumer goods, industrial inputs, and 3rd-country cargo can now reach Iran overland. These corridors can carry Chinese or other foreign goods into Iran under Pakistani transit rules. Every country that trades with Iran and doesn't want to pick a side is watching. The naval blockade is still the dominant pressure. But it just got flanked.

After 59 years, the United Arab Emirates has exited OPEC and this isn’t just another policy shift. From oil embargoes to global crashes, UAE stayed through it all. But now, after rising tensions with Iran and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, everything has changed. With oil production dropping sharply and export routes under threat, UAE has made a bold move , one that could reshape global oil markets. What happens when a major producer walks away from production limits? Can OPEC still control oil prices without one of its key members? And is this the start of a bigger breakup? This video breaks down the real reason behind UAE’s exit and what it means for the future of oil, power, and geopolitics. #IranWar‌ #iran #uae #OPEC #CrudeOil #Crude #crudeoilprice

(1/3) Cities are no longer cooling down once the sun sets — turning heat stress into a round-the-clock occurrence. For instance Delhi's heat pattern is driven by land use that clearly influences the land surface temperature (LST). Night temperatures do drop, but not evenly.
