Date:-09 June 26 The story of the U.S. dollar's global supremacy is, at its core, a story of how Washington successfully navigated the collapse of one monetary order and built another around the world's most strategic commodity: oil.

The first was Bretton Woods, which linked the dollar to gold. The second

Some of these inherited habits inadvertently harm the members rather than helping them.

Date:- 27/05/26 During my tenure as Deputy Inspector General of the 27 Sector in Churachandpur, Manipur, I had the opportunity to interact closely with both Naga and Kuki communities across the hill districts. Those interactions revealed that the tensions between the two communities are rooted not in isolated incidents but in decades of mistrust, competing territorial claims, political anxieties and the weakening presence of the state in the hills. The recent escalation betwe

Or is it intelligent enough to play the game of wait and watch through conflicts and eco centric policies, cause the patient are always rewarded in good time?

Date: 08/05/26 Why remembering Operation Sindoor matters Nations that fail to study their victories often end up repeating their vulnerabilities. As India marks the first anniversary of Operation Sindoor, the temptation will be to celebrate it merely as a spectacular military success that compelled Pakistan to seek a ceasefire after four days of intense conflict. That would be an incomplete reading of a defining moment in India’s strategic evolution. Operation Sindoor was far

What is the end game? Is it that CDS must be selected from one of the retiring chiefs? Will that work every time when one interpolates the date of retirement of the Chiefs and due date for a new CDS? Will the dates of retirement correspond to the guy the Govt / Veterans want to be CDS? I

" A smoker colleague once told me that soldiers do not light up THREE cigarettes from the same match stick. I asked him why? His explanation/justification was amazing. He said that during the pitch dark night scenario of war the moment one lights a match stick, the flame is spotted by the enemy sniper and he takes aim. By that time second soldier has lit up his cigarette sniper has nearly fixed his sight on the flame. Now the flame travels (as seen by sniper) to third soldier

The Origin of the NFU NFU originated from the 6th Pay Commission as a remedy for stagnation, and was initially given to the Group-A Services, denying the same to the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), and the Defence Forces, for not being a part of Group-A Services. Hence they had to approach the courts. While the CAPFs ultimately won the case in Supreme Court in 2019, the Defence Services are still awaiting a final resolution. What Does NFU Imply?

FOREWORD BY Admiral Arun Prakash , Former CNS : The topic of “Leadership” in the armed forces is a sensitive one, not only because it evokes strong emotions, but also because perspectives tend to differ so radically that it often becomes a classic case of “glass half-full or half-empty.” While examples abound, in our armed forces, of incredible courage & outstanding leadership, what attracts unfavourable attention are occasional instances where lack of moral fibre has

1. What irks so many is that their long held beliefs and 'kattar' views get demolished. I just got an email that our NFU case is slated in Court # 3 on 16 Apr at the SC with Col Mukul fighting a valiant battle. Mukul has taken it up with the arguments that he felt were valid and genuine. The weight of the full bureaucracy is against him, possibly even the judiciary is unsympathetic. What can he do? Question is this, why is the full force of the Indian Armed Forces not with hi
