India’s indigenous fighter jet, Tejas, faces a credibility crisis. On February 7, 2026, a Tejas aircraft veered off the runway due to suspected brake failure—its third major accident in two years. The Indian Air Force has grounded all 30 Tejas jets, sparking investor panic as HAL’s stock plunged. Delays compound the problem. The advanced Tejas Mark 1-A was due in March 2024, yet remains undelivered in 2026. The primary bottleneck lies with General Electric’s F-404 engines, with only five supplied so far, leaving nine aircraft idle. CAG reports highlight over 53 technical issues, from excess weight to electronic warfare glitches. Integration with Israeli radar and India’s Astra missile also faces software hurdles. Unless these challenges are resolved, Tejas risks losing export credibility and undermining India’s push for defense self-reliance.

Those who call India “unlivable” or “backward” ignore the nation’s profound intellectual heritage. A visit to Pune’s Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute reveals treasures that prove otherwise: Rigveda manuscripts in Sharada script, encryption-based communication systems, instruments using water reflections for navigation, ancient distilleries, and exquisite paintings with gold leaf and vibrant color schemes. Sharada script, used between the 8th and 12th centuries in Kashmir, carried Sanskrit and Kashmiri literature, showing the depth of India’s scholarly tradition. Far from being “uncivilized,” our ancestors pioneered astronomy, mathematics, language, and art. If one still feels ashamed of living here, perhaps they should seek refuge elsewhere. India’s legacy is not of shame but of brilliance, resilience, and creativity—a foundation that continues to inspire modern science and technology.

On February 23, 2026, during a debate at Pudhari daily, Congress spokesperson Hanumant Pawar allegedly threatened activist Tushar Damgude outside the debate room. Pawar reportedly said, “You keep calling me a Naxalite, I’ll have you beaten,” and later repeated the threat with abusive language. This incident follows earlier clashes between the two during televised debates, where Pawar had used derogatory remarks. His background in leftist politics and direct reference to Naxalism while issuing threats raises serious concerns. Such behavior undermines democratic discourse and demands thorough investigation. Political debates must remain platforms for ideas, not intimidation. When threats of violence enter the arena, they erode public trust and weaken the very foundation of democracy. A fair inquiry is essential to uphold accountability and restore dignity in political dialogue.

Assam today stands at a crossroads. Demographic shifts over decades have altered the state’s social fabric, with Supreme Court observations highlighting the seriousness of the issue. NRC began here, reflecting the scale of concern. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has emerged as the central figure fighting to preserve the state’s identity. For years, the Northeast remained neglected by successive governments, treated as a vote bank without genuine development. This indifference allowed unchecked migration, changing the balance of communities. Now, in some regions, Hindus form only about 60% of the population. Sarma’s leadership is seen by many as a decisive stand against this trend. His fight is not just political but symbolic of national security and cultural preservation. In the coming elections, his struggle represents a call for every Indian’s support.

India’s journey in semiconductor technology is a tale of resilience. In 1984, India established the Semiconductor Complex Limited in Chandigarh, ahead of Taiwan’s TSMC. But the devastating 1989 fire halted progress for decades, raising suspicions of sabotage. Yet, India rose again. ISRO and Indian scientists developed the indigenous Vikram 3201 microprocessor, now powering defense and space missions. While Taiwan dominates global chip manufacturing, nearly 20% of chip design talent comes from India, shaping innovations at Qualcomm, Apple, and beyond. Today, with the ₹76,000 crore India Semiconductor Mission, Tata Group and Taiwanese partners are building the nation’s first major chip factory in Dholera, Gujarat. By 2026, “Made in India” chips will enter the market. Challenges remain, but India’s determination ensures its tricolor will soon fly proudly in the silicon world.
