RISE IN POLICE EXCESSES IN ANDHRA PRADESH: The Tears of a Mother and the Crisis of Police Accountability

In the film Jai Bhim, every question Sengeni asks, while making endless rounds of a police station searching for her husband Rajakannu, leaves a lasting impression on the viewer. Though it is a cinematic story, a disturbingly similar tragedy is unfolding in real life in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh.

The Communist Party of China at 105: A Century of Revolution and Socialist Construction

On July 1, the Communist Party of China (CPC) marked the 105th anniversary of its founding – a milestone that invites not only celebration but careful study. Few political organisations in modern history have exercised such a profound influence over the destiny of their own nation while simultaneously reshaping the wider international balance of forces.

The oceans have long been celebrated as the highways of global commerce, carrying nearly 90 per cent of world trade and connecting economies across continents.
