Telegram, used by over 150 million people in India, is at the centre of a major legal battle after the government told the Delhi High Court it is becoming the “new dark web” for exam fraud, criminal networks, and extremist content.

As courts weigh digital security against free speech, where should India draw the line between public safety and online freedom?

President Donald Trump reiterates his claim that Italian PM Georgia Meloni asked for a picture with him "over and over" again at the G7 Summit in Evian, France.

Major win for India in FATF!

Shri Vivek Aggarwal, Secretary, Government of India, has been elected the Vice President of the Financial Action Task Force.

As India continues to champion a zero-tolerance policy against terrorism, this leadership role reinforces our relentless focus on combating global terrorist financing networks and dismantling illicit financial systems.

His profound expertise as the former Head of India's FATF delegation and former Director of FIU-IND will advance FATF's mandate to secure financial integrity.

During the 16th Meeting of #BRICS National Security Advisors and High Representatives on National Security, the Chinese side will exchange views with other BRICS members on the current international security situation, major international and regional issues, and joint response to conventional and non-conventional security challenges, and prepare politically for the BRICS Summit to be held in September.

China looks forward to enhancing communication and coordination with BRICS members to enrich political and security cooperation and contribute to world peace and security.

India's government has described Telegram as the "new dark web", arguing that the platform is increasingly being used for exam fraud, cybercrime, organised criminal activity and even terror-related communication.

Telegram, however, says the restrictions are unconstitutional and violate users' freedom of speech.

As the Delhi High Court weighs security concerns against digital freedoms, the outcome could redefine how India regulates online platforms.

India’s defence exports have hit a record ₹38,424 crore, while domestic defence production has reached an all-time high of ₹1.78 lakh crore.

Driven by drones, AI systems, indigenous technology, and the Atmanirbhar Bharat push, India is rapidly emerging as a major defence exporter.

Can India now challenge the world’s leading defence manufacturing powers?

Calling for "all of Lebanon to burn" is a horrendous and abhorrent statement from an Israeli Minister who has rightly been sanctioned by the UK Government.

We call on both Israel and Hizballah to comply with the agreed ceasefire, and ensure that all civilians are protected.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to US President Donald Trump:

As Washington and Tehran move towards crucial negotiations, countries like China, Iraq, India and Qatar hold billions linked to Iranian oil revenues. Why is this money frozen? How did US sanctions block Tehran’s access? And can the release of these assets transform Iran’s economy?

Pakistan is expanding its naval ambitions into the Bay of Bengal, while Bangladesh is deepening engagement with Islamabad after decades of distance.

Combined with growing Chinese military links, the developments are creating fresh strategic questions for India.

@Geeta_Mohan explains why New Delhi is watching the Bay of Bengal more closely than ever on #Statecraft at 9 PM on #IndiaTodayGlobal.

Once defined by large rallies and public displays of personal chemistry, the Modi–Trump relationship during Trump’s first presidency unfolded as political spectacle at its peak. From Houston’s “Howdy Modi” event in 2019 to Ahmedabad’s “Namaste Trump” in 2020, the engagement was marked by high visibility and strong personal messaging. That phase came to be seen as a defining moment in India–US relations.
Over time, the high-visibility phase gradually gave way to a more complex diplomatic phase. Even within Trump’s first term, early signs of strain began to emerge beneath the public displays of warmth, marking a shift in tone and interaction between the two sides beyond the stage. What changed after the stage lights dimmed?

Yet another 'Treaty of Versailles'

The Iran-US MoU was signed by President Trump at a dinner hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron at the Palace of Versailles in Paris.

(The most well known is the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I and was signed on June 28, 1919, between the Allied Nations and Germany.)

When I was 6 years old, Israel dropped bombs disguised as toys on us in Lebanon.

New report reveals that Israel left behind bombs disguised as toys in Gaza.

Today, a cluster bomb shaped like a small football found in South Lebanon.

But keep talking about Israel not targeting children.

From stadium rallies and public bear hugs to tariffs, Pakistan, Kashmir and trust deficits, the Modi-Trump relationship has undergone a dramatic transformation.
