Image
Hezbollah, also known as the “Party of God,” is a Lebanese political and military organization with deep-rooted ideologies linked to Shiite Islam and influenced heavily by the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

Heartbreak’s Hidden Toll: Why Men Suffer More After Breakups

Image
In the age-old narrative of breakups, women are often cast as the ones who bear the brunt of emotional pain, crying over lost love, while men are perceived as stoic or quicker to move on. This stereotype, however, is increasingly being debunked by recent psychological research. Studies reveal that men may suffer more profoundly from breakups than women, often enduring more significant emotional distress. While women may seem more emotionally expressive in the aftermath of a relationship, the hidden suffering of men tells a deeper, darker story of heartbreak and emotional suppression. Breaking the Myth: Men Feel More Deeply A pivotal study published in the  Journal of Social and Personal Relationships  found that, contrary to popular belief, men report higher levels of emotional pain following a breakup than women. This groundbreaking research analyzed data from over 5,700 participants across various cultures, debunking the stereotype that men are emotionally detached or indiff...

Canada-India Relations: Current Tensions and Future Consequences

Image
-The rising crisis- Tensions between Canada and India have escalated in recent years, resulting in a significant diplomatic strain. The crux of the dispute revolves around allegations of foreign interference, a rise in pro-Khalistan activities in Canada, and broader geopolitical issues. This diplomatic fallout has implications not just for the two countries, but also for the Indian-Canadian community. The seeds of these tensions were sown years ago, but recent events have brought them to the forefront.

Horse Trading in Indian Politics: The Dark Side of Democracy

Image
Horse trading, a term originally used in the context of tough negotiations in the business of selling horses, has gained a more sinister meaning in Indian politics. It refers to the manipulation and clandestine deals made by political parties to gain power, often at the expense of ethics and democratic integrity.

The Weaponization of Information: Cyber Warfare and Propaganda

 In today’s interconnected world, information has become one of the most powerful weapons, capable of influencing public opinion, disrupting societies, and even altering the course of wars. The fusion of technology with communication has birthed a new battleground — the realm of cyber warfare and propaganda . These two forces, working both independently and in conjunction, have drastically changed how nations and non-state actors wage war, conduct espionage, and influence global events. Introduction: Understanding Cyber Warfare and Propaganda At its core, cyber warfare refers to actions taken by a nation or an organization to penetrate the computers or networks of another nation, disrupting systems, stealing sensitive information, or damaging infrastructure. Propaganda, on the other hand, is the systematic dissemination of information, often biased or misleading, to promote a particular political cause or viewpoint. In modern warfare, these two elements have converged to create a ...

How the Shift from Fossil Fuels to Electric Vehicles is Reshaping Global Politics and Fuelling Conflicts

Image
The world is undergoing a monumental shift in energy consumption. For more than a century, fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas have been the lifeblood of global economies, powering industries, transport, and even geopolitical influence. However, a significant transition is underway, with renewable energy sources, especially electric vehicles (EVs), at the heart of this change. This transition is not merely technological but also political, reshaping global power dynamics, fostering new conflicts, and amplifying old ones. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Middle East, where the Israel-Iran conflict is tightly intertwined with energy resources and geopolitical manoeuvring. In this article, we’ll explore how the global energy transition is influencing international relations, specifically focusing on the Middle East. We will also discuss how the U.S. is using arms sales to maintain influence in a changing world, ensuring its interests remain protected as energy consumption...

Middle-Class Struggles in India: The Real Cost of Excessive Taxes

India’s taxation system is a double-edged sword, designed in theory to promote fairness, yet in reality, it has become a burden to millions of middle-class families. While the wealthy elite—the top 1%—continue to thrive, it is the hardworking middle class that shoulders the heaviest load. Over time, politicians have shaped a system that disproportionately impacts those who can least afford it, leaving the middle class struggling to keep up with rising costs and stagnant wages. The consequences of this unfair taxation system are glaring, with declining purchasing power and economic stagnation becoming the norm. In recent years, India's top 1% of earners has amassed 42.5% of the nation's total wealth , while the bottom 50% holds only 2.8% . Meanwhile, the middle class , despite shouldering a significant portion of the income tax burden (with an average tax rate between 10-30%), often receives little in return in terms of government benefits, social security, or infrastructure i...

Protests in Kolkata: A Dangerous Intersection of Medical Strikes and National Agendas

Recent protests in Kolkata have garnered significant attention due to their intensity and broader implications. What initially began as a demonstration by doctors has escalated into a movement that mirrors civil unrest seen across the border in Bangladesh. The increasing scale and fervor of these protests have sparked concern at the national level, with the government and security experts sounding alarms about potential threats to national security. Complicating matters further is the appearance of unrelated political slogans, such as "Free Kashmir," during these protests, raising questions about the convergence of various national agendas. Moreover, India is grappling with a new form of unrest known as "medical terrorism," a growing phenomenon where healthcare protests and strikes have the potential to disrupt the nation’s medical infrastructure, affecting millions. As the protests continue, it is becoming clear that the intersection of local grievances and larger ...
