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.

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.

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. While IMF officials hailed Pakistan’s reforms, critics warn this marks “the 24th bailout” of Pakistan since 1958, continuing a debt-and-austerity cycle. Economists note Pakistan already spends roughly 60% of its tax revenue on debt interest, leaving only tiny shares for public welfare. For example, an analysis shows Pakistan spends ≈1.7% of its budget on education and just 0.8% on health. As a Reuters analysis puts it, each bailout has been “a borrowed chip to cover the last round of losses”. Pakistan’s critics – from opposition leaders to ordinary business owners – warn that each IMF deal comes with painful conditions. IMF programs typically force harsh fiscal austerity . In Pakistan this has meant big new taxes and subsidy cuts. Under the 2024 agreement, Islamabad agreed to hike taxes on farm inc...
