Time will be the next frontier in India's digital battlefield; dollars will follow the hours consumers spend online.

As an international student, I hoped that the country I trusted to receive my education from would act with empathy and consideration towards me. Unfortunately, reality is very far from it.

As with most families in Indian politics, nothing is entirely as it appears. After he lost the 2018 election, Chouhan was offered the position of BJP Vice-President by Shah. Chouhan refused, stating that his heartwas in MP politics. He will need more than just heart to thrive, rather than survive, there - even after all these decades of experience.

Restoring normalcy to India-China relations will be an uphill task. China may also have realized that beyond some tactical gain, advantage next lies in de-escalation to avoid permanent fissures. But for the two sides to find a new normal at the LAC, and between them, shall be an arduous trek.

Even so, the recent depredations of the Delhi Police, their absolute disregard for truth, justice, and due process, represent something qualitatively different. That, in the country's capital today, a non-violent, peace-loving, citizen cannot expect fair treatment from the so-called custodians of the law merely because of her religious or political...

It is imperative that India treats all these moves by the dragon with the cautiousness it deserves till all their soldiers who have encroached on our land are not just pushed back but are shown that like in 1967, India takes it sovereignity and territorial integrity with all the seriousness that it deserves and any change to that will be dealt with...

Soft power means a lot to a country like Britain, which will soon have to live off its wits outside the European Union, even as it discovers that favorable trade deals are as hard to find as Lewis Carroll's Snark. Might the answer lie in part with the country's longest-surviving "Firm," the Royal Family, as much as trade delegations and the U.K. pr...

"Gone to Gulf." That phrase came up a lot in conversations among grown-ups that I overheard as a schoolboy in Kerala during the early 1980s. My father, who managed a lobster-export business in the port of Kochi, was constantly griping about workers who quit on short notice - or none at all - to take up jobs in the Gulf cities of Muscat, Doha or Jed...

On March 26, the Finance Minister made the announcement of doubling the entitlements of PDS ration card holders for the months of April-June. Since then, it has been clear that the PDS has served as a lifeline for millions of Indians who were left high and dry when the sudden and complete lockdown had been announced two days prior.

The Prime Minister's instinct for the public mood might have been the motive force behind his visit to Nimu; only time (or the next election) will tell if he achieved his domestic objectives. But if the visit's foreign policy outcomes are limited to India appearing provocative (when the Prime Minister was trying to avoid that implication), or seemi...

Authenticity is all that matters - in life - and entertainment. So, please guys - get real. Get off your high horses. The world has changed when you weren't looking. Forget all the hogwash about 'filmi royalty' and 'first families' tripe.

I feel that since I served in the military, my story can touch the lives of gay men currently serving - perfectly fine, professional, fit and disciplined officers and soldiers - who are being forced by homophobic policies to hide themselves out of fear of discrimination/persecution.

New cases, deaths, recoveries - for those of us in a newsroom, these three Covid statistics are what we process daily. As I pick up the newspaper the next day, the statistics seem personal. I've become part of the story - a 'new case'.

I tested positive for Covid-19 on June 6 after two and a half months of a fairly rigorous quarantine. The first question that people who test positive ask themselves is, how did this happen despite my precautions? This is especially true of middle class victims of Covid who have the online connectivity and financial reserves to shield themselves fr...

Tourism has been knocked out cold by COVID-19. It will be among the last industries to recover. People will regain full confidence to travel only when a vaccine is developed, and the impact can be imagined.Tourism accounts for nearly 10 per cent of India's GDP and employs 12.75 per cent of our workforce (2019-20 figures). A Business of Travel Trade...
