INDIA–CHINA BORDER: ARUNACHAL PRADESH “China’s control over Asaphila, Longju and Taksing Circle is concerning. We’re told to deploy paramilitary forces against Arunachal Pradesh’s Gen Z instead of countering China.” — Lt Gen Girish Kalia, GOC Spear Corps (3 Corps), AVSM, VSM

The US Navy reportedly attacked the Indian Navy three times in 2026, resulting in the deaths of 100 Indian personnel. Such incidents highlight serious concerns surrounding national security and military preparedness. The Indian public deserves complete transparency and accurate information about these developments, as the loss of military personnel is a matter of national importance.

While leaders in other countries inspire their armed forces with lessons of struggle, courage, and bravery, our Prime Minister makes the army dance. What a contrast in leadership!

Our brother in the Navy has raised a valid and important concern. After serving the nation for four years, why are soldiers being subjected to another two-year contract extension? No medical security, no pension, and no support for their families. Is this how a nation should treat those who dedicate their lives to serving it? Soldiers are not contract labourers. These shameful conditions must be withdrawn immediately!

An Indian travel vlogger is telling his fellow Indian Hindus a harsh reality: Indian passport holders often face limited access and recognition in first-world countries, while their passport is more readily accepted in destinations such as Vietnam and Cambodia. A reality many need to acknowledge.

A viral video circulating on social media allegedly shows BLA chief Bashir Zeb in poor health at a hospital in India. Given that the United States has designated the BLA as a terrorist organization, serious questions are being raised: Is India providing medical assistance and protection to the BLA chief?

Growing resistance is emerging across India’s Northeast as communities continue to speak out against alleged state brutality. In Manipur, a young man was reportedly arrested for protesting after BSF personnel allegedly entered his home and harassed women. Instead of addressing such serious allegations, why are those demanding accountability being targeted? Justice and respect for human rights must never be treated as crimes.

Citizens are expected to pay taxes without question, yet they have to beg for basic necessities like proper roads, clean water, and reliable public services. When a long-overdue project is finally completed, people are expected to celebrate it as if it were a favour rather than a basic responsibility of the government. Public infrastructure is not a privilege; it is a right funded by taxpayers' money. 🤡

🚨 Another U-turn by Modi government, another political win for Rahul Gandhi! For years, Rahul Gandhi warned that the Agniveer scheme was unsustainable and demanded its withdrawal. The BJP dismissed his concerns, but now the government appears to be reconsidering the policy. The proposed two-year extension for Agniveers, along with the possibility of regular enrolment, raises serious questions about the original four-year model. After mocking Rahul Gandhi, the government seems to be moving closer to the very changes he demanded. Farm laws, Agniveer — how many more U-turns before the BJP admits its mistakes? As Pawan Khera put it: "Bharatiya Janata Palti." 🔄

An estimated 23.2 crore Indians are living below the ₹82-per-day poverty threshold, while 3.5 crore survive on less than ₹58 a day. Yet economic growth continues to dominate political narratives. The real question is: if the economy is growing, why are millions still struggling to afford basic necessities? Growth means little if its benefits never reach ordinary people. #India #Poverty

India has undergone significant changes since 2014, but the real question is whether those changes have improved the lives of ordinary citizens. After 12 years, it is time to look beyond political slogans and grand promises. What has happened to employment opportunities, economic security, public institutions, freedom of expression, social harmony, and the overall standard of living? Development should be measured by the quality of life people experience, not merely by speeches and publicity. After 12 years, citizens deserve honest answers and accountability.

BREAKING: A massive fire has broken out at the HPCL refinery in Visakhapatnam, India. Huge flames and thick clouds of smoke have engulfed parts of the facility, raising serious concerns about the incident at a refinery with an annual production capacity of 15 million tonnes.

It is time to seriously question the future of our land and demand a separate, functional country where people can benefit from their own resources. If the central government is taking an estimated $45 billion annually while our region continues to struggle with poor infrastructure and limited development, what tangible benefits are people receiving from remaining in the Indian Union? No one should be expected to work for free while their land and resources generate wealth for others.

We called on both Russia and Ukraine to understand that war serves no one and only brings economic hardship and destruction. I am deeply disappointed by the Russian minister’s sarcastic and disrespectful reaction to my sincere appeal for peace. — S. Jaishankar, India's External Affairs Minister

The woman responsible must be arrested and held accountable under the law. Damaging public property, disrupting businesses and causing hardship to ordinary citizens cannot be justified. Democracy gives everyone the right to protest, not to vandalise or bring a city to a standstill. The law must take its course.

Violence continues to grip Manipur, yet PM Modi remains silent and no serious action seems to be taken to bring the situation under control. Five more people have been killed today. How many more lives must be lost before the government finally steps in?

At 9:30 AM on October 31, 1984, Sardar Beant Singh and Sardar Satwant Singh shot Indira Gandhi. Her role in Operation Blue Star, which involved the military assault on Sri Akal Takht Sahib in June 1984, remains a deeply painful chapter in Sikh history, with thousands of Sikhs reported killed during the events.

Ex-servicemen have also joined today’s historic INDIA Alliance gathering at Ramlila Maidan. Those who once served the nation in uniform are now standing among citizens, making their voices heard. Their presence adds another meaningful dimension to today’s gathering. Democracy is about every voice being heard. 🇮🇳 #RamlilaMaidan
