Dec 01, 2025Open on the image of Kohli, 36 going on 37, leaping in Ranchi after his hundred – “a 36-year-old trying to clear a 36-inch emotional bar”. Bring in the sprinted twos, the dive for a single, the full-throated roar that made Rohit erupt on the balcony. Make it clear that this story is not about a number (135) but about a question: how can someone who has done everything still look this hungry?

A Meitei IDP Father’s Cry from the Relief Camp
Nov 30, 2025The people of Manipur — especially those thousands still languishing in relief camps — are still waiting for the PR administration to issue a fresh, unambiguous clarification: if buffer zones truly do not exist, why are Meitei families being violently stopped from returning home, and why is the Kuki demand for these zones being enforced on the ground without any official acknowledgement or rejection?

Why Do the People Still Not Own the Hills They Were Promised in 1967?
Nov 29, 2025When the hill brothers and sisters cry out, bleed their hearts, and march “in defence of ancestral lands,” pause and ask: whose land are they really defending? It is not theirs. The soil they call ancestral still legally belongs to the chiefs whose titles and powers were abolished in 1967.
Climate meets conservation: What COP30 and the IUCN Congress mean for India and Northeast
Nov 29, 2025With COP30 in Belém, Brazil drawing to a close, and the dust almost settled on IUCN World Conservation Congress 2025 held in Abu Dhabi, the deeper association climate and biodiversity share, has been reiterated once more. Whether through hard negotiations on adaptation and climate finance at COP30, or member-driven motions and conservation commitments at WCC, the message is unmistakably clear - we cannot secure the climate without protecting nature, and we cannot protect nature without tackling climate change.
A system is rotting
Nov 28, 2025Tezpur University’s campus has become a battleground for change, marked by an unprecedented student-led lockdown that entered its most intense phase on November 27. The growing unrest, now entering its 69th day, signals a profound institutional crisis rooted in allegations of financial irregularities, administrative neglect, and leadership failure. The university community, students, faculty, and staff, has united in demanding accountability at the highest levels, calling for direct intervention by key officials and the Union Ministry of Education.
From all-rounder chaos to red-ball clarity: The tough selection reset India can’t dodge anymore
Nov 27, 2025India’s Test team doesn’t need a revolution as much as it needs someone willing to use a ruler and a red pen. For too long, selection has tried to satisfy every format at once: stuffing the XI with all-rounders, rewarding IPL flashes, and adding “depth” everywhere to hedge against collapse. On paper it looks flexible; on the field it feels fragile. The way back isn’t romantic — it’s simple: pick specialists, define roles, and make Ranji the main exam instead of the side note.
Assam’s Opposition and the New Politics of Disruption
Nov 27, 2025Assam’s recent Winter Session has once again highlighted a growing trend in the state’s politics: the steady replacement of reasoned opposition with performative disruption.

Why Dinganglung Gangmei’s Courage Matters for Manipur’s Survival

From Wankhede cheers to Guwahati jeers: How Gautam Gambhir became the lightning rod for India’s Test identity crisis
Nov 27, 2025From the moment Gautam Gambhir stepped out near the boundary rope in Guwahati, it was clear this was not going to be just another bad day at the office. The floodlights were on, but the stadium felt dimmed by the weight of a 408-run defeat, India’s biggest-ever loss by runs in Tests, and the noise that rose from the stands was not applause or even polite disappointment. It was a chant, sharp and personal, cutting through the night: “Gautam Gambhir haye haye.” For a man who once made his name quietening hostile crowds, it was a strange, almost surreal reversal — the hero of Wankhede suddenly cast as the villain of Barsapara.
When the Constitution Itself Is Kept in Relief Camp, How Can We Celebrate the Constitution Day
Nov 26, 2025In Manipur, the Constitution has itself become an internally displaced document—exiled from the land it governs, stripped of all force, and reduced to sheltering in the same relief camps as the citizens it once promised to safeguard.

Article 371C Was Never Meant to Be a Blank Cheque for Hill-Valley Divide in Manipur
Nov 25, 2025A familiar pattern has emerged in Manipur in the last few years, many tribal civil servants (IAS, IPS, IRS) spend their entire careers posted outside the state, enjoying the comforts of Delhi, Mumbai or Bengaluru. When retirement brings them home, most choose, for reasons of security, healthcare, and family convenience, to settle in the relative calm of Imphal valley rather than return to their native villages.
The Unfinished Mission of Lachit Borphukan
Nov 24, 2025The Battle of Saraighat (1671) was not merely a victory; it was the founding act of modern Assamese identity, secured by Lachit Borphukan against overwhelming Mughal forces. Today, his legacy demands more than remembrance, it demands action.

What just happened in Bihar
Nov 24, 2025The 2025 results did not redraw Bihar’s political map so much as reveal its deeper contours—enduring loyalties, shifting gender dynamics, and a generational bet on the future. And within those contours lies the real story: a ruling alliance that survived fatigue, and an opposition that, despite defeat, refused to fade.
