By Vijay Darda | 14-07-2025 Even though Mohan Bhagwat and Narendra Modi are turning 75, their energy surpasses that of the youths What an amazing coincidence that in the first and second week of this month, two statements on biological age emerged and both ignited significant public discourse! One statement was made by Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama and
By Vijay Darda | 07-07-2025 Cracking down on drug mafias based in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Canada and Myanmar is a major challenge While travelling through various parts of Canada, I was astonished to see how deeply this country is in the grip of drug mafias!

By Vijay Darda | 23-06-2025 Will Trump, together with Israel, truly overthrow Khamenei’s regime?
