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. He smiled, praised Trump’s supposed role in preventing a nuclear war with India, and even […]

With the West in Decline and China Distrusted, India, France, Japan, and Australia Must Step Up

By Editor - News Desk June 12, 2025

As the world drifts deeper into geopolitical fragmentation, it’s becoming painfully clear that the post-Cold War order is crumbling. The so-called liberal West, long seen as the steward of global norms, is retreating into protectionism, internal discord, and credibility deficits. On the other side, China’s authoritarian ambition, veiled under the Belt and Road rhetoric, is

Proxy Wars, Real Deaths: The Dirty Profiteers Behind Ukraine, Palestine, and Pakistan’s Endless Conflicts

By BPN News Desk June 2, 2025

The idea that countries in economic freefall can afford to fight modern wars should have sounded ridiculous — until it became reality. Ukraine’s economy has shrunk by over a third, Pakistan is buried under insurmountable debt, and Gaza is barely habitable. Yet, each of these places is launching drones, testing missiles, and sustaining high-intensity warfare. […]

When BPN published its analysis titled “The Hidden Harvest of Tariff Wars: How the U.S. Uses Trade to Push Its Crops, Not Cars,” we highlighted what many mainstream outlets ignored: that the United States wasn’t just pushing for tech and tariff parity—it was aggressively targeting India’s agriculture sector, particularly edible oil.

Munir’s Last Card: Ceasefire as Theatre, Conflict as Strategy

By BPN News Desk May 11, 2025

Over the past several days, the Line of Control has turned into a flickering war zone. From RS Pura to Akhnoor, and from Neelum to Bhimber, intermittent firing, shelling, and drone sightings have dominated headlines. But beneath this chaos lies a disturbing possibility: that this war isn’t a product of unpredictability or tactical miscalculation, but […]

India Must Learn from Gita, Not Gandhi, to Defeat Pakistan

By BPN News Desk May 10, 2025

On the night of Pakistan’s latest cross-border provocations, Indian radar operators noticed something deeply disturbing: alongside drone swarms and missile launches targeting civilian areas, Pakistan had kept commercial airliners in the skies—shielding their terror acts with innocent lives. This wasn’t just a breach of warfare conventions—it was a display of moral

China’s UN Veto Shields Pakistan’s Terror State

By BPN News Desk May 1, 2025

The global war on terror isn’t failing due to lack of weapons or intelligence—it’s failing because some nations wear suits in Geneva while fueling jihad with vetoes in New York. Chief among them is China. With each blocked UN resolution, each “technical hold” on global terror designations, China ensures Pakistan’s state-sponsored terror apparatus

The bodies weren’t even cold in Pahalgam when the world began drafting its familiar eulogies. Twenty-six lives, mostly Indian, cut down by terrorists in Kashmir’s once-bustling tourist belt. Mothers. Children. A Nepali tourist who had dreams of returning home. What followed was the usual diplomatic theatre: “We condemn the act of terror,” they said. “Our

Kashmir’s Tragedy: When Stones Are Worth More Than Saddle Rides

By Editor - News Desk April 23, 2025

The recent Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 tourists dead wasn’t just another bloody statistic in Jammu and Kashmir’s three-decade-long saga of violence—it was a gut punch to whatever remnants of normalcy the region was rebuilding. What followed, however, was unexpected. For the first time in years, Kashmiris observed a shutdown not against security forces, […]
