Editorials Opinion

I have been a cricket fan for more than three decades. Since the 1990s, I have seen almost every match India has played, especially against Pakistan. I have bunked school to catch those tense overs, lied at work to slip away for a quick stream, and even turned down family commitments because

Faith or Separatism? The Hazratbal Emblem Attack

By BPN News Desk September 8, 2025

The image of the Ashoka emblem, India’s national symbol of sovereignty, lying defaced at the Hazratbal shrine is more than just vandalism.

By Editor - News Desk August 30, 2025

The images from Mumbai this past week looked more like a civil rights uprising than a routine protest. Young men were dancing atop BEST buses, some were bathing on the city’s roads, while others casually walked into Westside stores and Burger King outlets near the Taj Hotel.

The Babus Rule, The Netas Sign

By BPN News Desk July 29, 2025

When Subhash Chandra Garg, the then Finance Secretary of India, quietly decided to resign from the Indian Administrative Service, it wasn’t because of a scandal or political fallout.

Free Pass for Power? How Weak Opposition Risks India’s Democratic Health

By BPN News Desk July 26, 2025

A democracy without a strong opposition is like a game without a referee—one side calls all the shots, while the other stands silent or fumbles helplessly. In India, the world’s largest democracy, this referee is limping, distracted, and often failing to blow the whistle when it matters most. The current opposition is not just weak; […]

When the Beggar Sings and the Giant Sleeps

By BPN News Desk June 20, 2025

While the world watched a former pariah walk into the White House, Asim Munir, the chief of Pakistan’s army, took his seat across from President Donald Trump at a high-profile luncheon that felt more like a stage play than diplomacy.
