Bangladesh today is run by a cabal of American and European diplomats in collusion with their agents in the current administration, comprising unelected advisers,” one analyst remarked seething with barely disguised anger. This thought was echoed across observers from different

Eagle-eyed Richard Gowan makes an insightful conclusion: According to UNGA Res 79/327, para 42(d): So that means Alicia Barcena will not run for the SG's seat

This is not an ordinary factory. Set amid the forests of the Nilgiris, the briquetting unit at Masinagudi in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve is quietly turning a global ecological problem into a local climate solution. Lantana camara, one of the world’s most aggressive invasive

Today’s Supreme Court hearing against Meta and WhatsApp was long overdue. The Court clearly wasn’t buying the standard “consent” and “opt-out” defence. And it shouldn’t. When one platform dominates communication for an entire country, calling it a choice is a stretch. As the CJI

Requesting the Americans to develop and protect the country, as if that will work in the long run. A significant amount of capital can be created if the domestic economy is reformed and made efficient. It would unleash productive forces which transform the country from within.

BD textiles get 0% tariff for using US cotton/man made fiber. India gets 18% . India imports $200 mn of US cotton while BD imports $250 mn. Trump waited for India to accept "deal" and then undercut it with a more favourable deal for BD. Good luck doubling textile exports :)

If the U.S. held an election banning the Democratic Party, would you have called it a success? If the UK held an election banning Labour or Conservatives, would it have been democratic? If India held an election barring the Congress from contesting, would it have been a triumph
