Political scientist John Mearsheimer’s realist theory also applies here: “Great powers are always looking for opportunities to gain power over their rivals.” Yet in this case, the lesser military power—guided by ideology rather than imperial ambition—demonstrated resilience that frustrated both American and Israeli expectations.

Aga Syed Amin Musvi
( Jammu and Kashmir )
It is an image we have seen many times before: men in uniforms, standing tall with the weight of the nation on their shoulders, eyes piercing the horizon. But there, in the midst of this, in this very space of conflict, discipline, and command, two women stand—resolute, poised, and unswerving. Colonel Sofiya Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh are not just a part of the military establishment; they are its beating heart, its powerful pulse in a time of crisis, its embodiment of strength in...

In the heart of Kashmir, where spiritual legacies run deep and sectarian identities often shape public discourse, I was blessed to encounter a soul whose presence defied division.

( Jammu and Kashmir )
Every time I climbed those few familiar steps to Alama’s Dewa’n Khaneh nestled in Budgam, it felt like stepping into a different world. In the quiet corner of his modest room, walls lined with timeworn books and a stillness that seemed sacred. He would sit with quiet dignity. A scholar by calling, a grandfather by presence, and a poet in the quiet moments between, Alama lived in the gentle rhythm of wisdom shared softly, never imposed. A Tribute to Allama Aga Syed Muhammad Baqir ibn Hujjatul...

Social workers make vital contributions, yet they work in tough conditions. Their job takes an emotional toll, they have few resources, and their duties keep growing. Many struggles with huge caseloads and little money or support from their organizations. In poor areas, they’re often the only help for families in need, but people rarely notice their work. By Imran Maqbool Wani “Social workers are the social engineers of humanity, constructing bridges of compassion, laying foundations...

( Jammu and Kashmir )
Women murdering their husbands with the help of their lovers, or vice versa, is one of the most heartbreaking incidents that has ever happened and continues to happen. Unfortunately, it will likely continue in the future as well. To our great surprise, we may see such crimes increasing day by day. Security forces are doing their best to stop these crimes, and there is no doubt about that, but it’s still not enough; in fact, it’s not even close to enough. Hard work done in the wrong way never...

With modern technology and a clear vision, Mohra can once again become a source of clean energy for Kashmir.

Achieving national development is not possible unless women are included and empowered to contribute equally to all aspects of society.
