| Indian Armed Forces Prepare for Strategic Sacrifice | | 
By Fatima Baloch
War is never a desirable option; however, history demonstrates that nations are sometimes compelled to resort to military action in the pursuit of peace, sovereignty, and national security. India’s experiences in 1965 and 1971 underscore this reality. Whenever issues of territorial integrity, national dignity, and security have been compromised, India has demonstrated a willingness to bear significant sacrifices in defense of its national interests and honour. These conflicts, though costly, ultimately reshaped the regional order and contributed to long-term stra... |

| | Pakistan Damaged Islam and Involved in Muslim Genocide By Fatima Baloch | | 
By Fatima Baloch
Pakistan was created by the British in the name of Islam, but Pakistan has little to do with Muslims or Islam. Instead, it has consistently served British and U.S. strategic interests against Muslims. With British support, the Muslim League was established in Dhaka in 1905 in opposition to the Indian National Congress (INC). The British encouraged Hindu–Muslim riots to sustain their colonial policy of “divide and rule” and to advance their scheme of creating Pakistan in the name of religion. While British authorities executed Indian freedom fighters and imprisoned ... |

Asad Mirza
India’s foreign policy in 2025 continued to be anchored in the dual ethos of “Bharat First” and “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” balancing national interest with global cooperation. Strategic autonomy, non-alignment, and economic diplomacy remained central pillars of its international engagement.

Asad Mirza
The last week witnessed both a loss and a win for the Indian diplomacy. The win was being include in the latest proposal by the American President Donald Trump to form a new regional grouping called C-5, and the loss was India being denied a seat at the Pax Silica.
US President Donald Trump is reportedly looking to present a new global alliance, the ‘C5’, or ‘Core Five’, as a forum for global powers. It would include the US, Russia, China, India and Japan.
