Following accusations against India in the killing of separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, India countered with strong diplomatic action, highlighting Canada’s tolerance of Khalistani extremists. By escalating pressure through travel advisories, diplomatic expulsions, and exposing pro-Khalistan activities, India forced Canada to reassess its position. This marked a shift in Canada’s public tone and indicated growing international recognition of India’s concerns about extremism under the guise of political activism.
The United States, under President Donald Trump, initiated airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, claiming to target weapons development sites in cities like Isfahan and Natanz. Iran reported minimal damage, having already evacuated key assets. The action has sparked controversy, with critics drawing parallels to the 2003 Iraq invasion and accusing Trump of contradicting his anti-war stance. Supporters argue the move strengthens regional security amid heightened tensions involving Israel. The international response remains wary as the situation unfolds.
Chinese scientists have developed the Low Latitude Long Range Ionospheric Radar (LARID), the world’s most powerful radar, capable of detecting equatorial plasma bubbles (EPB) across vast distances. Installed last year, LARID can monitor these anomalies over areas like the Egyptian pyramids and the Midway Islands, with a detection range expanded to nearly 9,000 km. This breakthrough has major implications for global communications, satellite signals, and military applications, as it can mitigate plasma bubble impacts on GPS systems.
Equity funds are ideal for long-term investments, offering higher returns but with greater risk due to market volatility. Debt funds, better suited for short-term investments, provide more stable, lower-risk returns. Your choice between the two should depend on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon. Combining both can enhance portfolio diversification.

Experts argue the US has historically opposed India’s interests in Bangladesh and worked to weaken Hasina's rule. This silence raises questions about US strategic interests and its alignment with India on regional issues.
