We analyze the Court’s scathing observations on the collapse of judicial immunity, the mandate for CRPF/CISF protection, and why this “no-confidence” ruling marks a terminal crisis for the rule of law in the state.

For the first time in 54 years, humans have left Earth’s orbit.

We bring you the full details on the N+2 severance in India, the heartbreaking stories of 20-year veterans, and why the “Stargate” AI project just made 30,000 humans redundant in the blink of an eye.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated the ₹3,300 crore Kaynes Semicon plant in Sanand, Gujarat, marking a historic milestone for “India’s Techade.” Capable of producing 6.3 million chips per day, this state-of-the-art OSAT facility creates a direct “Silicon Bridge” between Sanand and global markets. We analyze the strategic focus on Intelligent Power Modules (IPMs) for EVs, the launch of Semiconductor Mission 2.0, and why this 900-day miracle has positioned India as the world’s most resilient new chip supplier.

In a historic IPL 2026 opener in Guwahati, Rajasthan Royals crushed CSK by 8 wickets, bowling out the “Yellow Army” for just 127. The night belonged to 15-year-old sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who smashed a 15-ball 50, and Ravindra Jadeja, who took two wickets on his “Royal” return.
