A regional war with global stakes

By Mukul kumar
The Middle East has entered one of its most dangerous phases in decades, with open war now raging between the United States–Israel on one side and Iran on the other.� Joint US–Israeli airstrikes on 28 February 2026 that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei have turned a long-running shadow war into a direct, multi-front conflict that is shaking the global energy system, financial markets, and the strategic environment of countries like India.� What follows unpacks the roots of this war, its impact on Gulf states and the Strait of Hormuz, implications for India and its neighbours, effects on the world economy, and possible pathways to both short-term de‑escalation and long‑term solutions.

The Dark Side of IMF Loans and Their Impact on Developing Economies

By
In May 2025 the IMF approved fresh aid for Pakistan – a $1.4 billion loan (via its Resilience and Sustainability Facility) and a $1 billion tranche of an existing $7 billion program.

Merger of Konkan Railway with Indian Railways: A Detailed Overview

By
The Konkan Railway Corporation Limited (KRCL) was incorporated in July 1990 as a special purpose vehicle to build India’s long-awaited west-coast rail link. At that time, the Government of India “departed from its policy of controlling railway projects” and made Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka and Kerala equity partners in the new corporation. Under the leadership of former Railway Minister George Fernandes and engineer E. Sreedharan, KRCL raced to construct the 741 km line through the challenging Western Ghats. The first train ran between Udupi and Mangalore in March 1993, and by January 1998 the full coastal route (Roha in Maharashtra to Mangaluru in Karnataka) was operational. The scenic line – known for its tunnels and bridges – quickly became a vital corridor linking Mumbai with Goa, Karnataka and Kerala, dramatically cutting travel times and spurring local development. The Konkan Railway route winds through lush hills and valleys of India’s western coast. KRCL was created as ...
