🖋️ *अभिजीत राणे लिहितात* भारताच्या ८० व्या स्वातंत्र्यदिनाच्या पूर्वसंध्येला राष्ट्राला उद्देशून केलेल्या संबोधनात राष्ट्रपती श्रीमती द्रौपदी मुर्मू यांनी शांतता, सहकार्य आणि 'वसुधैव कुटुंबकम्' हे भारताच्या परराष्ट्र धोरणाचे मुख्य आधारस्तंभ असल्याचे अधोरेखित केले. दुसऱ्या बाजूला, विरोधी पक्षनेते राहुल गांधी यांनी भारताच्या या व्यापक परराष्ट्र धोरणाची "फक्त सर्वांना मिठ्या मारणे" अशा शब्दांत अत्यंत बेजबाबदारपणे टवाळी केली. मुत्सद्देगिरी आणि आंतरराष्ट्रीय राजकारणातील गांभीर्य

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* The debate over foreign influence laws highlights a clear geopolitical double standard. When the United States enforces the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), it is lauded as a legitimate, necessary shield to safeguard national security and preserve democratic integrity. However, when India strengthens the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA), Western commentators often label it as a crackdown on civil society. Sovereignty and

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* Supporters of the Modi government often view opposition protests as anti-Hindu, Naxalite-inspired, or sponsored by Pakistan, dismissing the core issues raised by demonstrators. This tactic resembles how the Congress once blamed the RSS for every protest. While violence in a democracy is unacceptable, the government's prolonged silence during Sonam Wangchuk’s 21-day hunger strike highlights a severe lack of dialogue. Subsequent police lathi

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* Over the years, the public has witnessed countless political "masterstrokes" from Devendra Fadnavis. From leaving Mumbai entirely to the Thackerays despite equal strength, to the failed early-morning oath ceremony with Ajit Pawar, and later engineering splits in both the Shiv Sena and the NCP to grab power. However, the harsh reality remains: these clever ploys only flooded the BJP with opportunistic clutter, deeply hurting the party's loy

🖋️ *From The Desk of Abhijeet Rane* Pakistan is increasingly rediscovering its pre-Islamic civilizational roots. References to the Indus Valley Civilization, the legacy of Panini, Sanskrit, and the Mahabharata are finding renewed space in public discourse. A growing number of scholars are revisiting the history of kings such as Porus, Dahir, and Anandapala, recognizing them as part of the region's indigenous heritage rather than viewing Ghazni and Ghori as the sole historica

🖋️ *अभिजीत राणे लिहितात* लोहगडच्या घटनेनंतर मुंबई लोकलमधील तरुणाच्या निर्घृण हत्येने पुन्हा एकदा समाजाला हादरवले आहे. किरकोळ वादातून चाकूने वार करून एका तरुणाचा जीव घेण्यात आला, पण गर्दीने भरलेल्या डब्यात कोणीही त्याच्या मदतीला धावले नाही. ही बाब गुन्ह्याइतकीच अस्वस्थ करणारी आहे. कायद्याचा धाक कमी झाला आहे की समाजाची संवेदनाच बोथट झाली आहे, हा प्रश्न पडतो. हिंसक वेब सिरीज, चित्रपट आणि सोशल मीडियावरील क्रौर्याचे सातत्याने होणारे प्रदर्शन काहींच्या मानसिकतेवर परिणाम करत असेल,
