NEET, UGC NET cancellation 2024 and many more  The NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) examination has recently come under intense scrutiny due to multiple controversies. These include the awarding of excessive grace marks—over 50 per person, exam paper leaks occurring the day before the exam in some states, and the subsequent arrests of NEET aspirants and their parents. The overall handling of the examination has raised questions about the competence of the authorities in conducting the exam fairly and securely. Following widespread protests and backlash from students, concerns have emerged about candidates scoring improbably high marks, such as 719, which seems feasible only with the help of grace marks. In response, the Supreme Court intervened, invalidating any unwarranted grace marks and issuing a stern warning that any evidence of cheating, even as little as 0.0001%, would lead to severe consequences for all involved, including students and officials from the Nation...

Defence stocks don't live up to expectations in Modi 3.0 The defense sector in India is experiencing a complex scenario under the current political climate, despite the push for indigenization and modernization led by the Modi administration. Companies like Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), which have secured substantial orders from the Indian Army, are seeing a paradoxical drop in share prices. This trend can be attributed to several interrelated factors that are both internal and external to government policies. The coalition status of the BJP, lacking a full majority, introduces an element of political instability that affects market confidence. The uncertainty surrounding the Agniveer scheme, which is undergoing regulatory changes, further contributes to the sector’s instability. These shifts in defense policies and initiatives reflect an environment of unpredictability, impacting investor sentiment and stock performance. Moreover, there ...

 India is one of the invitees at the upcoming G7 meeting in Italy. This marks a continued trend, as India has been invited to participate in these significant global gatherings for several years. This time, around 10 more countries have been invited to the meeting, highlighting how the developed world views India and other developing economies. The willingness to engage with developing countries stems from the global need to overcome the economic slowdown caused by various factors. You might wonder why the push needs to come from developing economies. The answer lies in the fact that the most developed economies have already reached a point where their citizens are unwilling to work for low wages due to the high cost of living. In contrast, developing economies are more flexible, with lower service costs and living expenses. This makes countries like India, Brazil, Vietnam, and Argentina attractive partners for developed nations. Among all the countries in the G7, India stands out ...

The recent terror attacks in Kashmir, including the assault on a bus carrying Hindu pilgrims and subsequent incidents, clearly indicate that ISI, the intelligence agency of Pakistan, is not in favor of Pakistani elected representatives who are praising Indians in parliament and advocating for improved relations between India and Pakistan.

The country’s trade associations and businesses suggest importing raw materials and essential food supplies from India due to their quality and affordability, which can be transported efficiently by road. Many people believe that fostering trade relations with India would benefit both countries and their citizens. However, ISI’s opposition stems from historical and strategic reasons. The long-standing conflict over Kashmir, marked by three wars between India and Pakistan, remains a significan...
