Stopping All Dusty Construction Work in December and January can cut AQI by 100 points

By BPN News Desk December 8, 2025

India treats winter pollution as an annual shock. Every December, headlines scream about toxic air, children cough, schools close, hospitals fill, and governments announce emergency measures. Then the wind changes in February and we forget everything. This cycle is not inevitable. It is engineered by inaction. Air pollution in winter is not a weather problem. […]

When One Airline Sneezes, India Catches a Cold: Why India Needs an Aviation Planning Authority

By BPN News Desk December 7, 2025

India did not witness an airline incident. It witnessed a systems failure. One bad day inside a single private airline was enough to throw airports across the country into chaos. That is not just a story about Indigo. It is a story about how India has built aviation without a brain that plans for resilience, […]

Washington Draws a Red Line: Why U.S. Patience with Pakistan’s Military Is Ending – Even If the White House Pretends Otherwise

By BPN News Desk December 4, 2025

In Washington, diplomatic tremors rarely show up in the form of a sternly worded letter. But the recent Congressional communication urging targeted sanctions against Pakistan’s leadership is not another routine expression of concern. It is a structural break in how the United States views Pakistan’s military establishment, and a warning that the days of strategic […]

Saving Trees Is Hinduism. Cutting Them for the Kumbh Is Pure Politics.

By BPN News Desk November 30, 2025

The irony would be hilarious if it weren’t so tragic. A festival meant to purify the soul has somehow become an excuse to pollute the city’s conscience. Nashik’s preparations for the upcoming Kumbh Mela should have been about spiritual rejuvenation, cultural pride and orderly planning. Instead, they have descended into a grotesque civic ritual where […]

Koyta Raj in Pune: How Fadnavis and Pune Police Let a City Fall to Teenaged Blades

By BPN News Desk November 28, 2025

Pune was once proud of being India’s cultural capital, the academic hub, the IT magnet, the city where families felt safe. Today, it is a city where mothers pray their children return home without crossing paths with a teenager holding a koyta. That is the transformation Maharashtra’s Home Ministry has gifted us. Not progress. Not […]

BJP And RSS Built The Hindu Narrative. Now Can They Build The Indian Century?

By BPN News Desk November 26, 2025

For the first time in independent India, Hindu consciousness is not whispered, apologised for or tucked behind constitutional jargon. It stands tall, saffron, sovereign, and utterly unembarrassed. The Dharma Dhwajarohan Utsav in Ayodhya, with Narendra Modi, Mohan Bhagwat and Yogi Adityanath sharing the same stage, was not just a ceremony. It was a declaration. A […]

Breaking Down The News: How the U.S. Peace Deal Gives Russia a Bigger Win Than the Battlefield Did

By BPN News Desk November 22, 2025

The draft 28 point peace plan pushed by the United States is being sold as a “balanced compromise” to end the Russia Ukraine war. But when you strip away the diplomatic language and look at what is actually written, the structure of the agreement hands Moscow a package of gains that it has not fully […]

Pakistan Mocked Tejas While Its Own JF-17 Sat Grounded: The Hypocrisy Is Now an International Embarrassment

By BPN News Desk November 20, 2025

The Dubai Airshow 2025 has inadvertently delivered a masterclass in propaganda versus reality, and Pakistan has walked straight into its own trap. For two days, Pakistani social media warriors gleefully circulated self-invented tales of a non-existent Tejas oil leak, spinning dramatic narratives about “Indian humiliation” and “technical collapse.” But when the smoke

Stop Preaching Innocence: Faith Must Own Its Fanatics

By BPN News Desk November 13, 2025

Every act of terror that shakes the world is followed by the same moral chorus: “Terror has no religion.” It’s repeated so often that it now functions as an emotional bandage rather than an idea. It’s meant to comfort the public, protect the faithful, and silence uncomfortable questions. But denial is not wisdom. The reality […]
