- Description
- The destiny of election-linked freebies goes through a similar lifecycle in most states across the country—a broad, open-ended announcement right before the elections to woo voters, a harsh reality check owing to financial constraints once the party actually comes to power, a realisation that the promise in its entirety may be unsustainable, and then a scheme that is just a faint shadow of the promise that birthed it.
In this video, Apoorva Mandhani analyses this lifecycle of freebies in India, and explainswhy their implementation is often a far cry from the promises that are made during elections, no matter the party in question.

- Description
- Driving through Ladakh and Zanskar via the newly opened Nimmu-Padam road is an unforgettable experience—one that climbs to Shinkula Top at 16,800 feet, passes the sacred plains of Gonbo Rangjom, and follows the dramatic, silt-laden Zanskar River valley. It is also a demanding drive, with steep climbs, sharp bends, rockfalls, and altitude testing both the machine and driver at every turn.
This journey also reveals the region’s extraordinary geology, with folded rock layers on the high peaks offering a vivid reminder of the collision between India and Asia. ThePrint Contributing Editor @KushanMitra notes how the Nissan Tekton handled this Himalayan route, underlining that the SUV was put through a serious, real-world test rather than a casual scenic drive.
The result is a video about more than landscapes—endurance, engineering, and a road that feels as epic as the mountains around it.

However, a new investigation by Science magazine has uncovered a case that raises troubling questions about transparency in cutting-edge medical research. A six-year-old girl received an experimental personalised gene-editing treatment, and later died. According to the probe, the death was never publicly disclosed, even as researchers published their preclinical work in a leading scientific journal. Soumya Pillai explains in Pure Science.

- For decades, India's passion for gold has meant importing hundreds of tonnes every year, while domestic production remained virtually dormant after the closure of the iconic Kolar Gold Fields. But deep in the arid terrain of Andhra Pradesh’s Kurnool district, a historic shift is underway. Nestled in the Jonnagiri Greenstone Belt—a region with mining roots tracing back to the 16th-century Vijayanagara Empire—lies India’s first comprehensive private-sector gold mine.
After nearly two decades of meticulous exploration and over 90,000 meters of drilling by Geomysore Services, this groundbreaking open-pit operation is turning low-grade ore into pure economic potential. Projecting an output of nearly one tonne of gold annually, Jonnagiri isn't just reviving domestic production, but transforming the drought-prone Rayalaseema region by generating hundreds of local jobs and boosting state revenue.

But that is not what freedom truly means."
He added, "Every Indian, especially our youth, needs to reflect on his words, consider the vision he held for India and the spirit of nation-building he embodied... To truly understand Lokmanya Tilak’s life and the depth of his character, one must grasp the context of that era, the constraints and the wretched conditions of the time, realities that perhaps we, and especially the youth, struggle to fully imagine...

Narendra Modi, who was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, suggested that the Gujarat Police should investigate not just that specific blast, but also the people behind it and the various bomb blasts that had occurred across the country. He asked me to invite Ajit Doval and hold discussions with him alongside my officers... The insights he shared led to a remarkable outcome.

Depending on where your politics comes from you might see Jantar Mantar as a revolution, or as a passing sandstorm. My arguments won’t change any minds. I shall try, however, to say what’s happened and what hasn’t. The young people broke the self-imposed silence among the elite not to speak a word critical of the Modi government, except to whisper on the sidelines, looking left, right and behind.Certainly, what’s happened is the first public, in-your-face defiance and ridiculing of the Modi government. If they responded with such alacrity after the violence of 20 July, it was essentially because they realised that well over 95 percent of the protesting youth, or mostly children, were from the Hindu middle and upper-middle classes.

Depending on where your politics comes from you might see Jantar Mantar as a revolution, or as a passing sandstorm. My arguments won’t change any minds. I shall try, however, to say what’s happened and what hasn’t. The young people broke the self-imposed silence among the elite not to speak a word critical of the Modi government, except to whisper on the sidelines, looking left, right and behind.Certainly, what’s happened is the first public, in-your-face defiance and ridiculing of the Modi government. If they responded with such alacrity after the violence of 20 July, it was essentially because they realised that well over 95 percent of the protesting youth, or mostly children, were from the Hindu middle and upper-middle classes.

- Description
- Before packed stadiums, cameras and million-dollar contracts, there was Pune.
In 1973, a modest national women's cricket tournament in Pune quietly marked the beginning of women's cricket in India. The pioneers who built the game had little money, almost no recognition, and few opportunities -but they refused to give up.
A revolution had begun, and there was no turning back. What had long been a gentleman’s game was about to be rewritten by women.
From Aloo Bamjee's Albees Club and the formation of the Women's Cricket Association of India to legends like Shantha Rangaswamy, Sudha Shah, and Diana Edulji, this episode of #PastForward traces the remarkable journey of Indian women's cricket - from humble beginnings in Pune to the grand stage of Lord's.

- Asim Munir’s Pakistan: Global power broker's brutal crackdown in PoK

- Description
- Pakistan is projecting itself as an indispensable global broker. Under Field Marshal Asim Munir, Islamabad has mediated between the US and Iran, deepened defence ties with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and continued balancing Washington, Beijing, Tehran and Riyadh. But behind this diplomatic performance lies a deeply bruised state.
In this episode, ThePrint Consulting Editor (International & Strategic Affairs) Swasti Rao explains Pakistan’s “geopolitical arbitrage”: how its military establishment converts geography, manpower and strategic ambiguity into money, relevance and regime legitimacy. She examines the violence in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the crackdown in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, the fragile economy, and China’s high stakes in CPEC and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Pakistan is neither the great winner of today’s disorder nor a state on the verge of collapse. It is punching above its weight abroad while tightening control at home—monetising insta...

They gave India the first photographic record of the bird, although it was by no means the first record. A specimen collected from Sirsa, Haryana, in 1870, credited to British civil servant and amateur birder AO Hume, is the first.' Watch this week's column by Bharati Chaturvedi for ThePrint

- Description
- In his fifth late night video on Instagram, Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked about the language used by some protesters during the Cockroach Janta Party demonstration at Jantar Mantar.
“Some mischievous children used very crude and abusive language, words that do not befit any civilized society,” the PM said, referring to it as a truly ugly spectacle.
Calling the offending individuals wayward, the PM however said that instead of punishing them, dragging them through court proceedings and harassing them in society, it is the duty of society to show them the right path.
“I live for you; I dedicate myself to your bright future. Come, let us move the country forward together. Learn from mistakes, and move forward,” the PM said.
