School attendance problems (SAP) are no longer a marginal issue. They have become a challenge affecting classrooms in nearly every country. The problem has far reaching consequences – both on individuals and society, but has never been properly addressed.

During the recently partially concluded US-Iran war, Iran and its proxies in Iraq have conducted over 850 missile and drone attacks in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Iran launched thousands of projectiles at Israel and the Gulf states, which received wider international attention. However, the attacks in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) by Iranians and their proxies have received less attention.

Few captains have altered the course of Indian cricket as dramatically as Sourav Ganguly. If Kapil Dev gave India belief by lifting the 1983 World Cup, and Mahendra Singh Dhoni transformed belief into global dominance, it was Ganguly who built the bridge between the two eras.

Before The Draft Constitution of 1948 provided that no person could be deprived of their life or personal liberty "except according to procedure established by law,” the interim report of the Advisory Committee on Minorities and Fundamental Rights (1947) stated that "No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty, without due process of law, nor shall any person be denied the equal treatment of the laws within the territories of the union” (emphasis ours).

Amidst Trump-Modi bonhomie and the continuation of India-US trade talks, former Indian intelligence chief Vikram Sood said on Sunday in an interview to a British network that the present U.S. deputy secretary of state Christopher Landau told Indian officials during his visit to India in March 2026 that Washington would use tariffs, sanctions and other tools to curb India’s rapid economic growth and would not allow it to emerge as a major power competing with USA.

The investigation so far, as on July 7, 2026, into the systematic theft worth rupees tens of millions of donations at Ram Temple of Ayodhya has clearly shown that it was the work of no-other than the people of RSS-BJP, and therefore, it has political consequence for the Hindutva juggernaut. Ram Temple for them has been a political symbol, and the theft has tarnished their image. No wonder they are now trying their best to limit the political damage, by showing that the wrongdoing is being investigated rather than concealed. However, investigation is not seen as impartial by large number of people, because the way it is being carried out leave many questions unanswered.

On 23 June 2026, the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the BKMU jointly organised nationwide demonstrations in all districts of the country against the abolition of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA).

A film delayed for years. A censor battle unlike any other. An OTT release that lasted barely two days. And a story that refuses to disappear. By the time Satluj briefly appeared on ZEE5 this week, it had already become one of the most talked-about unseen films in Indian cinema. Within 48 hours, it disappeared again.

NEW YORK: A spectre is haunting Donald Trump—the spectre of communism. Over back-to-back holiday weekend speeches marking the country’s 250th anniversary, the president delivered what amounted to a two-part anti-communist sermon, casting Karl Marx, the Communist Party USA, and the country’s fast-growing democratic socialist movement as existential threats to the republic.

There are sporting legends, and then there are sporting phenomena. At 45, Mahendra Singh Dhoni belongs firmly in the second category. Time has dimmed neither his aura nor his popularity. Every time he walks onto a cricket field wearing the unmistakable yellow of the Chennai Super Kings, the roar from the stands resembles less a welcome for a cricketer than an ovation for a beloved monarch.
