Elon Musk Returns to His Tech Empire Amid Investor and Employee Pressure Published on: June 10, 2025  By: Technology & Defense In a dramatic and closely watched comeback, Elon Musk—the billionaire innovator and CEO behind some of the world’s most ambitious companies—has officially resumed a more active leadership role at Tesla, SpaceX, X (formerly Twitter), and xAI. His return follows mounting pressure from both investors and employees concerned about a lack of direction, weakening performance, and Musk’s increasing entanglement in politics. Earlier this year, Musk had stepped back from daily operations to serve in the Trump administration as head of the symbolic "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE). Although the role was mostly ceremonial, his physical and operational absence from his companies sparked unrest among stakeholders across his sprawling tech empire. Tesla’s Downturn Triggers Alarm Bells Among Musk’s many ventures, Tesla has borne the brunt of his abse...

Parle-G for ₹2,400 in Gaza: A Biscuit That Broke the Internet and Millions of Hearts Indian 5 ₹ Parle -G in Gaza  In a world shattered by war and injustice, sometimes it’s the smallest stories that hit the hardest. A single packet of Parle-G biscuits—something millions of Indians grew up on—has now become a symbol of hope and heartbreak in Gaza, where a father reportedly paid ₹2,400 to fulfill his daughter’s innocent craving. This isn’t just a story about inflation or conflict. It’s about what it means to love in impossible times. A Daughter’s Simple Request A video recently went viral showing a father in Gaza, holding a packet of Parle-G. His eyes were teary, and his voice cracked as he shared how much it cost—2,300 shekels (₹2,400). And yet, he didn’t complain. "I don’t care about the money. I just wanted my daughter to smile," he said. As someone who grew up in Nagaland, India, this hit me harder than I expected. I still remember buying Parle-G biscuits from the local shop...

What Inspired the Nagas to Take Up Arms? The Journey from NNC to NSCN and Beyond The story of the Naga insurgency is one of identity, culture, and a fierce desire for self-determination. To understand why the Nagas raised an army and formed multiple armed groups, we need to look at their history, their struggles, and their dreams of sovereignty. Naga National Flag  The Inspiration Behind the Armed Struggle At its core, the motivation for the Naga armed struggle was to protect their unique identity, culture, and ancestral lands. When India gained independence in 1947, the Nagas expected autonomy or even independence based on earlier promises. However, the Indian government integrated the Naga territories into the Union of India without granting the promised rights. Despite their traditional reputation as headhunters — a practice that had declined significantly by the mid-20th century — the Nagas had a strong sense of ethnic pride and cultural uniqueness. They saw themselves as disti...

  India Eyes Su-57E Stealth Fighter Jets: A Game-Changer with “Make in India” and Technology Boost In a major geopolitical and defense development, Russia has made a compelling offer to India that could reshape the Indian Air Force's future — the localized production of Su-57E fifth-generation stealth fighter jets, along with a full technology transfer. This proposal not only reinforces the Indo-Russian defense partnership but also holds massive potential for India’s self-reliance in military aviation, aligning strongly with the “Make in India” initiative. 🇮🇳 A Strategic Leap for Indian Air Power At a time when the Indian Air Force (IAF) is grappling with a reduced squadron strength — currently operating with just 31 squadrons against the sanctioned 42 — the addition of Su-57Es could fill a crucial gap. These stealth jets, equipped with cutting-edge avionics, radar-evading capabilities, and supersonic agility, represent the most advanced aerial platforms Russia has developed to d...

Title: Rising Northeast India: A New Dawn Rooted in Strength, Culture, and Possibility Northeastern Tribals  As someone born and raised in Northeast India, I’ve often felt that our region—rich in culture, beauty, and resilience—has long been misunderstood, overlooked, and sometimes even forgotten by the rest of the country. But in recent years, something has been shifting. For the first time in decades, I feel a quiet pride growing louder. The Northeast is rising—not just in policy speeches and investment charts—but in spirit, visibility, and opportunity. And I say this not from a place of political allegiance, but from lived experience. A Region Long Isolated, Finally Connected Growing up, traveling from one state to another in the Northeast often felt like a journey through disconnected worlds. Roads were bad, railways barely existed, and the rest of India felt distant—not just geographically, but emotionally too. But now, with projects like the Sela Tunnel in Arunachal Pradesh a...

  Why the UK Is Strengthening Its Defense Posture If you’ve been following recent news, you might have noticed a surge in headlines about the UK ramping up its military readiness. Terms like “defense review,” “increased spending,” and “war preparation” are everywhere. But what’s really behind this shift? Is the UK bracing for an inevitable conflict, or is there more to the story? Let’s unpack this in a way that makes sense — no jargon, no hype — just the facts and context you need to understand what’s happening and why it matters. The Context: A Changing Global Landscape First off, the world isn’t the same place it was just a decade ago. We live in a time of unpredictable geopolitical tensions and rapid technological change. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia was a shockwave felt across Europe and beyond, reminding everyone that peace isn’t guaranteed. The UK, as a leading NATO member, has been closely watching these developments. The stakes have never been higher — and neither has ...
