| Trump’s Tariff Mania | | |
Asad Mirza
The spate of tariffs announced against virtually the whole world has started taking its toll. With counter measures announced by some nations, led by China has further complicated that what the tariffs and reciprocal-tariffs are. The economists have deciphered the long-term negative impact of the tariffs announced by the US and what it essentially entails for the global economy.
The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Friday (April 11) warned that "nobody wins in a trade war," his spokesman said. "Our concern right now is with the most vulnerable countries who are the least equipped to deal with the current situation," he further said. The UN Secretary Genera... |

Fatima Baloch and Dr K N Pandita
Pakistan was established in 1947 through the partition of India by the British, rather than through a prolonged independence struggle marked by significant sacrifices against colonial rule. As a result, the country initially mishandled Balochistan, forcefully occupying it against the will of the Baloch people on March 27, 1948. Furthermore, Pakistan has struggled to function as a cohesive nation, comprising diverse ethnic groups such as Bengalis, Punjabis, Pashtuns and others.
The artificial nature of its creation by British and global influences has led to a history of military dominance and weak democratic leadership, culminating in the... |

| | Forced displacement of Pandits from their homeland | | |
K N Pandita
The forced displacement of the Pandit minority in Kashmir in 1989-90, is in the sequence of atrocities perpetrated against the Hindu minority ever since the advent of the Islamic faith and its propagators in Kashmir in the third decade of the 14th century.
Islamic faith enjoins its followers to practise Allah's command of destroying atheism, polytheism, idolatry or grave worship. The Hindus of Kashmir followed their age-old philosophy of polytheism and practised idolatry. They are stuck to mythology and traditions inherited over time.
To the Muslim, the antiquity is reprehensible. Allama Iqbal, one among those who conceptualized a separate country for the Musl... |

As if the tariff war against almost the whole world, leading among them China, Mexico, Canada, and India, hots up, it portrays the leading hero, Trump in this case, frothing at the mouth and cursing and cussing everyone, if he does not get what he wants, and shows a completely new and unacceptable face of the American democracy and diplomacy.
Accusations and counter accusations are flying around but the optics are definitely working against Donald Trump. If only he had described the Tariff War against China as a War Against Drugs, he might have been able to garner much more sympathy.
But he has chosen the other way around to restrict transfer of technology to ... |

| | The Storyteller: The Conflict between Art and the Market | | 
By Kalpana Pandey
Based on Satyajit Ray’s short story "Golpo Boliye Tarini Khuro," Ananth Mahadevan’s film The Storyteller (2025) centers on the conflict between authentic labour and money. The film focuses on two very different characters: Tarini Bandyopadhyay (Paresh Rawal), an elderly Bengali storyteller with communist ideals, and Ratan Garodia (Adil Hussain), a wealthy Gujarati businessman who hasn’t been able to sleep for years as an insomniac. Their contrasting worlds show how a profit-driven system often exploits creative work. The film’s story isn’t just entertaining—it ex... |
