MOHAN GURUSWAMY: The Indian Union of States has reached a critical impasse. Its diversity bound together by the Constitution that was meant to make us a modern, democratic and secular state based on equality and equal availability of justice, education, healthcare and social services, and division of government based on functions is now under grave challenge. India was never intended to be a saffron hued monochromatic state, but a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-lingual state whose diversity made it a nation as never before. Its demographics compound its problems by threatening to swamp the non-Hindi/Hindutva belt into a saffronised dominion. Each state in India is a veritable nation and hence maintaining the balance of political and  economic power between them is critical. The delimitation exercise now underway will reduce the weightage in Parliament of the states that did better on giving their people a better quality and standard of life, and hence curbed the population....

These are insights drawn from interviews given to various news and social media channels by Mr. Vikram Sood, veteran intelligence officer and former Secretary, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). 1. The Anatomy of Global Narrative Dominance In the contemporary geopolitical arena, dominance is no longer secured solely through kinetic force or economic leverage. True global governance is exerted through the mastery of narrative—a psychological war of perception designed to control and dominate the collective mind of the recipient. The objective is to cultivate a persistent belief in the "superiority and nobility" of the dominant power, ensuring that subject nations instinctively "look up" to their masters. This is not an ephemeral government edict or a "switch on, switch off" propaganda campaign; it is a generational architecture integrated into the very quest for global control. By presenting their civilization as the ultimate standard of magnanimity and mo...

By Nagesh Bhushan How OBC Women’s Groups Can Strategically Counter the Narrative The defeat of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill on April 17, 2026 has triggered a familiar blame game in Indian politics. While the BJP accuses the opposition of being “anti-women”, the opposition accuses the government of pushing a hidden delimitation agenda. In this crossfire, the most critical demand — a proper sub-quota for OBC women — is at risk of being completely sidelined. OBC women’s organizations must now move beyond reactive protests and adopt a sharp, strategic, and proactive approach to counter the prevailing political narrative. 1. Demand Timeline Transparency and Accountability OBC women’s groups should immediately demand a clear, time-bound public roadmap from all political parties — not just the ruling dispensation — for the completion of the next Census and the subsequent delimitation exercise. By creating a public tracking system and releasing monthly reports on delays, these ...

  These are insights drawn from interviews given to various news and social media channels by Mr. Vikram Sood, veteran intelligence officer and former Secretary, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). In the mahogany-rowed halls of traditional diplomacy, the "annual outlook" was once the gold standard of strategic planning. We operated on a cadence of quarterly reviews and glacial policy shifts. That world is dead. Today, the velocity of geopolitical disruption has accelerated to a point where daily assessments are a luxury we can no longer afford; we have entered the era of the "hourly assessment." From the sudden, surgically precise ouster of a Prime Minister in Dhaka to the social-media-fueled "Gen Z" revolts in Kathmandu, the traditional maps of alliance and influence have not just failed—they have revealed a systemic blindness in Western intelligence that borders on the pathological. We are no longer watching organic shifts in the global order; we are witn...
