The BJP often portrays student protests as anti-national and undemocratic. Yet its own political rise was deeply rooted in the student movements of the 1970s, from Gujarat's Nav Nirman Andolan to Jayaprakash Narayan's call for Sampoorna Kranti. This article revisits that overlooked history and examines the striking contrast between the protests once celebrated by the Sangh Parivar and the protests it condemns today.
The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 is often attributed to Mikhail Gorbachev’s policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), which, despite their good intentions, inadvertently accelerated systemic weaknesses. Today, Donald Trump’s economic nationalism—particularly his tariff-driven "America First" agenda—risks triggering a similar unravelling for the United States. While Trump’s policies are framed as protecting American jobs and industries, they function more like an "America Only" strategy that isolates the U.S., destabilises its economy, and empowers rivals like China. Trump’s tariffs harm U.S. citizens, benefit foreign producers, and position China to dominate the 21st-century global order.
The bill’s core is simple yet devastating: any country trading with Russia will face a 500% U.S. tariff. If India imports oil from Russia, every Indian export to the U.S. will be hit with a 500% tax, effectively wiping out India’s exports. China, which imports oil, gas, uranium, and rare earth metals from Russia, will also be affected. When Europe stopped buying from Russia, India stepped in, importing crude oil, refining it, and selling it to Europe, easing their energy crisis. But India’s close ties with Russia are increasingly frustrating the U.S.

The next election is very important, not just because of the usual bluster that goes along with elections, but also because of the calculated moves that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is making. The way the party is handling the upcoming election, especially in Uttar Pradesh, needs careful scrutiny. Due to its affiliation with Ayodhya and its 80 parliamentary seats, Uttar Pradesh, with its constantly changing political environment, acts as a battleground for India's coalition politics. We explore the BJP's approach in Uttar Pradesh and the recent enlargement of its cabinet in the state, providing insight into how this could affect the next elections.
The revelation of collusion between private entities, particularly the RP Sanjiv Goenka Group, and governmental bodies adds a sinister dimension to the coal block allocation saga. The clandestine maneuvers employed to rig auctions and manipulate bidding processes lay bare the nexus between vested interests and administrative machinery.
