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.

India's reservation system was designed to uplift Hindu castes burdened by centuries of caste-based discrimination, particularly Scheduled Castes (SC) and Other Backward Classes (OBC). However, the inclusion of Muslims and Christians in ST and OBC quotas defies its purpose. These faiths reject caste, yet their communities claim benefits meant for Hindu tribals and backward castes. This erodes the rights of those for whom reservations were created—Dalits and OBC Hindus, enduring historical stigma. Scrapping these inclusions restores fairness, ensuring quotas serve their original intent: justice for caste-affected Hindus, not a faith-based free-for-all. True equity demands this correction.

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 Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter rolls and the One Nation One Election (ONOE) proposal continue to stir controversy. As of July 13, 2025, with Bihar's SIR exercise nearing its July 25 deadline amid legal challenges, discussions have intensified about a potential nationwide rollout. Critics argue this could enable election delays, citing incomplete processes as a pretext to postpone polls in states nearing their terms and advance them in others. Meanwhile, ONOE faces scrutiny for its handling of contingencies like legislator deaths or coalition breakdowns. Adding a layer of intrigue is the speculative narrative that ONOE could serve as a "rehabilitation" mechanism for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, potentially paving the way for his transition to the presidency amid age-related retirement debates.

It’s been over two days since Air India Flight 171, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, crashed in Ahmedabad, India, on June 12, 2025. This was the first ever crash of a 787 and the first major widebody aircraft crash in over a decade. The flight took off from Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, runway 23, bound for London Gatwick with 242 people on board. Tragically, just 30 seconds after takeoff, the plane lost altitude and crashed into a hostel near the city, killing all but one passenger and many on the ground. The latest reports confirm a death toll of 274, making it one of the deadliest aviation disasters in recent years.
