The figures on paper indicate a tale of a spring thaw. The manufacturing indices are moving upwards, and the green energy exports- the shiny jewels of the new three industries (drone vehicles, lithium batteries, and solar products)…

The argument on the Demands for Grants can be looked at through the anaemic perspective of budgetary provisions and budget deficits. But behind every decimal point of the Union Budget is the tale of some of the passengers waiting on a fog-laden station…

With a flicker of a television screen sometimes determining the beat of a nation in an age, the Indian government has made a decisive stand on the theater of war. On March 6, 2026, the ministry of the information and broadcasting (MIB) asked the broad cast audience research council (BARC) to cancel the release of Television Rating points (TRPs) on all news channels immediately.

By March 15, 2026, the area has long since ceased to be a trade thoroughfare and has turned into a chessboard of high stakes on the sea. With the looming tension between the regional powers, the Indian Navy has stepped up its operations making the Operation Sankalp more than an ordinary patrol it is now a literal life-saving operation…

The blue flame of the stove in the kitchen has been a luxury this week which many Indians in the dimly lit lanes of urban India can no longer buy. With the global energy veins being in a tight squeeze due to the West Asia crisis, the shocks have trickled down to the doorsteps of the common Indian families in the shape of a predatory black market. Reports in March 2026 and ground-level testimonies have revealed a horrifying truth: in the grey markets of cities such as Bengaluru, Delhi or Hyderabad, a 14.2 kg domestic LPG cylinder is being sold…

The blue checkmark on X has as much baggage as few symbols in the ever-changing digital world. Previously being a symbol of verified identity and collective trust, it turned into the source of heated controversy after Elon Musk bought it in 2022. That argument hit a final breaking point on Friday, March 13, 2026, when the European Union officially confirmed that X has agreed to change its controversial system of verification. The move is followed by a fine of 120 million of Euros or 138 million dollars, the first penalty of a record fine issued by the EU Digital Services…
