Social media abuse is no longer an isolated phenomenon but a persistent law-and-order issue. The rapid spread of fabricated content, morphed images, abusive campaigns and coordinated character assassination can cause lasting damage to individuals, institutions and public discourse. Governments cannot simply ignore such developments.

The party believes that the CJP may be indirectly supported by the BJP to create another party within the opposition space lest its opponents go to the Congress. That is the reason the Congress is apprehensive of supporting the CJP as it may emerge like AAP, thus further cutting into the opposition space.

End-times narratives have made their way into the halls of power, as political figures seize the opportunity to propagate radical politics. US Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, in particular has been portraying himself as an instrument of God in an existential civilisational battle for Christianity. These worldviews eventually determine how national politics and geopolitics evolve.

There have been many leaders before Omar, who have always tried to blackmail the Central government by doublespeak on Kashmir and even trying to seek international attention. Omar is smart and wise enough not to do it in any uncouth way.

The United States has long influenced Latin America, shifting from early diplomacy to overt interventions to align regional politics with its strategic interests. Historically, this involved supporting dissidents to overthrow local leaders, establishing a pattern of interference.

The dilemma that the party high command is faced with is whether it should succumb to the pressure of the rebels in Punjab. If it doesn’t, it fears that those opposed to Warring may not cooperate with him and this may damage Congress chances in the state. If the party agrees to the rebels’ demand, it may open other fronts in other states.

The 1979 United Nations Moon Agreement states that no one can claim sovereignty over the Moon, and must use its resources responsibly – which sounds promising. Unfortunately, almost none of the countries involved with Artemis, including the US and UK, have signed it. Scientists live in hope that this doesn’t all turn into a big land grab.

People like Bittu are not opposing the movie for depicting the life of Khalra and his brutal killing, they are only objecting to the false and fake narrative that is being created using his killing as a medium. They are right in doing so.

Whenever the possibility of Russia’s nuclear use is discussed, experts are divided. Some argue Russia’s nuclear threats must be taken seriously, pointing to the repeated Russian willingness to impose devastating destruction. Others have grown increasingly sceptical and question the current effectiveness of Russia’s nuclear arsenal.

His claims about BJP trying to bribe and buy his MLAs are aimed more at the people of Kashmir and the PDP than the BJP itself.

When things feel uncertain or dangerous, people might reach for the visionary. Yet the very leaders we feel most drawn to in those moments – the boldly confident, the certain, the inspiring – may not always be well-suited to navigating such complexity, if they resist the open-minded, ambiguity-tolerant thinking that difficult problems require.

The facts, however, are quite different. While police action may at times have been brutal, it came in response to the wanton killings of innocent people. Let us not forget that the period witnessed the assassination of a sitting Prime Minister, a sitting Chief Minister and a former Chief of Army Staff, the killing of passengers dragged out of buses and trains, the mid-air bombing of an aircraft that claimed about 400 innocent lives, and much more. As long as these events are pushed into the background and movies like Satluj are promoted, history itself risks being distorted and subverted.
