By Jag Jivan   The first page image of the paper "Corona Virus Killed by Sound Vibrations Produced by Thali or Ghanti: A Potential Hypothesis" published in the Journal of Molecular Pharmaceuticals and Regulatory Affairs , Vol. 2, Issue 2 (2020), has gone viral on social media in the wake of the controversy surrounding a Chinese robot presented by the Galgotias University as its original product at the just-concluded AI summit in Delhi . The resurfacing of the 2020 publication, authored by  Dharmendra Kumar , Galgotias University, has reignited debate over academic standards and scientific credibility.

By Dr. Jayant Kumar*  On February 19th, I found myself caught in an unusually long traffic jam in Delhi. Several roads had been closed due to VIP movement linked to the ongoing AI Summit in the city. As the minutes turned into hours, I couldn’t help but reflect on the irony of the situation. On one hand, the country was hosting global conversations on the future of Artificial Intelligence and technological transformation; on the other, millions of our citizens continue to struggle with basic access to livelihoods, services, and dignity. 

By Bhabani Shankar Nayak*  The 62nd Munich Security Conference (MSC) was held from 13 to 15 February 2026, bringing together more than forty heads of state and government, alongside ministers, military officials and policy experts. As in previous years, the majority of participating leaders were from Europe and North America, with discussions largely centred on technological competition, geopolitical tensions, European security, and the future of the transatlantic alliance under North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) leadership.

By Ravi Ranjan*  Alok Dhanwa stands as a towering figure in contemporary Hindi poetry, renowned for blending revolutionary fervor with delicate sensory imagery. Emerging in the 1970s with fiery works like Janata Ka Aadmi, Goli Dago Poster, and Bruno ki Betiyan , his sole collection, Duniya Roz Banati Hai (1998), marks a pinnacle of social consciousness fused with aesthetic beauty. In this volume, Dhanwa transcends political rhetoric to capture the "inner music" of human existence, celebrating the resilience of ordinary people and the daily renewal of hope amid historical struggles and industrial alienation. His poem ‘Patang’ (Kite) exemplifies this fusion, serving as an allegorical narrative of human consciousness evolving with seasonal change. Through vivid metaphors of flight, childhood, and light, Dhanwa suggests that the quest for a better world is both a political imperative and a poetic essence.

By Vikas Meshram*  In modern history, few periods have displayed such a grotesque and contradictory picture of wealth as the present. On one side, a handful of individuals accumulate in a single year more wealth than the annual income of entire nations. On the other, nearly every fourth person in the world goes to bed hungry or half-fed.

By Harsh Thakor*  Abdur Rauf (Mukul), a senior leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist–Leninist) and member of the Politburo of the Central Committee, passed away on 5 February 2026 after a prolonged illness complicated by pneumonia. He was 76 years old.

By Vidya Bhushan Rawat*  Galgotia is the face of 'quality education' as envisioned by those who never considered education a tool for social change or national uplift — and yet this is precisely the model Narendra Modi pursued in Gujarat as Chief Minister. In the mid-eighties, when many of us were growing up, 'Nirma' became one of the most popular advertisements on Doordarshan. Whether the product was any good hardly seemed to matter. 

By A Representative   Jan Swasthya Abhiyan Madhya Pradesh has expressed concern that the state’s latest budget estimates do not include specific provisions for occupational health workers (KHS) and silicosis victims, many of whom are reportedly struggling without adequate financial or medical support. The group has urged the Madhya Pradesh government to address these omissions and make targeted allocations in the interest of public health.

By Fr Cedric Prakash SJ*  I wrote down these thoughts on 26 January 2026 as Republic Day Reflections… *** As I sit here on Republic Day, the echoes of our national anthem still ringing in my ears from this morning's flag-hoisting ceremony, I can't help but feel a mix of pride and profound concern. It's the 76th year of our beloved Constitution – our Constitution, as it proudly declares in its opening words: "We, the people of India." Yet, in these times, that "we" feels increasingly under siege. Fascism's shadow looms large, fundamentalism rears its ugly head, and minorities like us Christians – along with Dalits, Adivasis, women, and so many others – find ourselves on the frontlines of a battle for dignity, rights, and simple survival.
