We looked at Adani Group’s insolvency record: nearly 3 in every 5 bids won, while creditors recovered Rs 33,000 cr against Rs 1.31 lakh cr in claims.

But the wins are only part of the story.

Unfortunately, we are being blocked by certain oligarchs in order to maintain their monopolistic chokehold on the Indian people. You can guess who they are …

This is a crime against the people of India!

Higher food and energy prices are a bigger burden for poorer families. Targeted support, not subsidies, can best protect them when inflation surges. See our latest blog for more.  https://t.co/HiQD0mOoW9

While ‘The Economist’ revives colonial era patronising.

India revives its Tiger, Lions and Rhino population which were decimated during colonial times.

I have been associated with elections right from the nineteen seventies. From Seshan onwards I have known many CECs and ECs well.
I have deliberately kept away from the ECI controversy because almost everything said about it is immediately labelled political and biased. But it has now reached a point where silence seems equally wrong.

Forget for a moment who is accusing whom. All that matters is that the Supreme Court wants to know how certain decisions were taken and who took them. There should be a record—files, notings, minutes, electronic trails. If something that should exist cannot be produced, that too will have to be explained.

What troubles me most is the damage already done. The ECI once carried enormous credibility, including abroad. So did India for conducting elections on an extraordinary scale with an Election Commission trusted to be independent.

Whatever the eventual explanation, that reputation has taken a knock. It took decades to build. I hope we understand what is at stake.

From India, a water-governance model is offering useful lessons for the wider Global South. Water security is not only about building infrastructure but also about good planning, strong local systems and involving communities in managing water.

India's journey from water reforms in Gujarat to large-scale national programmes offers a practical example for countries looking to improve water management and meet growing water needs.

It’s not “selflessness.” It is policy. Institutions. State capacity. And above all, civilizational tradition of living with nature.
Conservation is not a luxury of the rich! Many of today’s wealthy nations have themselves experienced substantial native-species extinctions.

Award Winning Cheese from India

Gulmarg - French-style Brie: A heart-shaped, soft and creamy Brie made from pasteurised cow’s milk, with a snowy-white rind and earthy, mushroom-like notes. It received a Super Gold award at the 2026 Mundial do Queijo do Brasil.

Konark - French Tomme-style Cheese : A rustic, natural-rind cheese with a supple texture, earthy and savoury flavours and a lemony finish. It won Gold at the 2023 World Cheese Awards in Norway and Silver in Switzerland in 2025.

Yeoor - Mountain-style Cheese : An aged cheese inspired by Swiss Gruyère, matured for around 8–9 months to develop nutty, sweet and herbaceous flavours. Its rose-petal and fennel-decorated rind gives it a distinctive Indian-Alpine character, while its excellent melting quality makes it suitable for fondue and grilled preparations.

Switzerland is famous around the world for its many varieties of cheese. Now, PM Modi gifted three special Indian cheeses - Gulmarg, Konark and Yeoor - to the Swiss President, giving a glimpse of India’s own rich and growing tradition of cheese-making.

[News from Science @NewsfromScience]

Exclusive: “The instant I saw the picture my mouth fell open and my pulse began to race.” So wrote James Watson in The Double Helix: A Personal Account of the Discovery of the Structure of DNA, his controversial account of how he and Francis Crick deciphered the structure of DNA in 1953.

The image, now known as photograph 51, showed an elegant, symmetrical pattern of spots formed by x-rays diffracted from strands of DNA—the fingerprint of the molecule’s helical structure.

Rosalind Franklin, an x-ray crystallographer, had produced the image in the spring of 1952. But Watson’s 1968 book, amid other slights and sexist language directed at Franklin, implied the flash of insight was his alone.

Popular accounts still routinely suggest Franklin missed the significance of the photo. She never had a chance to challenge Watson’s dismissive narrative; she died of cancer in 1958, a decade before his memoir was released and became a bestseller.

But a new analysis of her notes on another x-ray image, which she made just days earlier using the same DNA sample, offers a firm rebuttal.

Good governance is not about making headlines. It is about making a difference.

Food safety is ultimately about protecting people, upholding standards and building public trust.

When enforcement is fair, fearless and consistent, institutions earn credibility and citizens begin to believe that the system works.

The New York Times captures one such story from Maharashtra.
