In Pakistan’s cultural capital Lahore, official signboards are now catching up with what its residents had quietly preserved all along—its syncretic tradition. Seventy-nine years after Partition, officials in Lahore have replaced signboards bearing Islamised names with older Hindu, Sikh, and colonial ones; for example, Islampura is Krishan Nagar, Babri Masjid Chowk has reverted to Jain Mandir Chowk. Within the past two months, nine locations have been renamed.

It is former Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif’s dream project. He wants to restore Lahore to its “old glory”.

Sunnatnagar has reverted to Santnagar, Maulana Zafar Ali Khan Chowk is Lakshmi Chowk, Mustafaabad is now officially Dharampura, Sir Aga Khan Chowk has reverted to Davis Road, Allama Iqbal Road is again being referred to as Jail Road, Fatima Jinnah Road is once again Queens Road, and Bagh-e-Jinnah is reclaiming its colonial association as Lawrence Gardens.

The Indian currency (INR) has experienced a significant decline against the Pakistani rupee (PKR) over the past 12 months, a period that coincided with the announcement of ceasefire by US President Donald Trump after the 88-hour-long Operation Sindoor in May 2025. On May 15, 2025, the exchange rate stood at 3.2913 PKR per INR By May 18, 2026, the rate had fallen to 2.9010 PKR per INR This represents a depreciation of approximately 11.86%, with a 6.8% fall in the year 2026 alone.

This sharp decline demonstrates that India’s economic challenges are not merely a result of the global strength of the dollar or the crisis in West Asia. Instead, these figures highlight fundamental weaknesses in domestic policy and economic management under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The Indian rupee has been the worst performing currency in Asia in 2025 and continued to be the worst performing in the current year. The Indian rupee has also weakened against the Bangladesh taka in the same period, from 1.42 to 1.28 taka per rupee, a fall of nearly 10% in the year.

The Modi government often attributes the weakness of the rupee only to external pressures and the crisis in West Asia. However, the consistent decline against the Pakistani currency suggests that the issue is specific to India. If the decline were purely driven by global factors or the dollar, the impact would be more uniform across all regional currencies. Other emerging market currencies faced the same external shocks but did not weaken against Pakistan in the same way.

The Indian rupee’s decline against the Pakistani rupee began with military conflict and diplomatic intervention but has continued since. This clearly reinforces the assessment that there are structural issues within the Indian economy which go beyond the strains added on by global factors. The comparison with Pakistan is instructive because it again entered an International Monetary Fund programme in 2025 and was forced to implement strict fiscal and monetary measures.

West Bengal Farmers Left With Unsold Cattle as Buyers Vanish Before Eid

Livestock markets across West Bengal are witnessing a sharp fall in buyers after the BJP government under Suvendu Adhikari strictly enforced cattle slaughter laws ahead of Eid-ul-Adha. Farmers say large numbers of cattle remain unsold, causing heavy losses as many had borrowed money expecting strong seasonal demand. A viral video of a Hindu woman blaming the policy has intensified the political debate.

Modi running away from a female journalist's question in Norway. Norway ranks first in the Press Freedom Index. Journalists there question important issues and hold the government accountable. Unlike India's "godi media," they don't ask fake questions like "Do you have a wallet or not?" or "Do you eat mangoes or not." India's media should learn from Norwegian journalists and hold Modi accountable. The day India's media starts questioning the country's important issues, the Modi government's "balloon of lies" will burst.

During Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s official visit to the Netherlands, a major controversy erupted during a press briefing in The Hague. While the official diplomatic objective of the visit was to elevate bilateral ties to a “strategic partnership” – heavily driven by trade, defence, and semiconductor technology – the exchange between Dutch journalists and Indian diplomat underscored deep friction between Western journalistic standards and the Modi government’s tightly controlled public relations process.

The incident

As The Wire’s Devirupa Mitra has reported, ahead of the dinner for Modi hosted at Catshuis, the official residence of the Dutch PM just outside The Hague, PM Rob Jetten spoke with local reporters. Jetten was asked about aspects of Dutch-India relations.

Jetten told reporters just before Modi arrived that there were concerns among the Netherlands and other EU member states about “developments in India” under Modi’s BJP.

The issue was then forced directly onto the record by Ashwant Nandram, a journalist from the prominent Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant, who asked the following question to the Indian delegation during the official media briefing:

“I’m a journalist for the Dutch newspaper, De Volkskrant. I have a few questions. In the Netherlands, there is a tradition that after such a visit, both Prime Ministers are available for questions. I wonder what the reason is that that is not the case today.

Another thing is that today during a statement of Prime Minister Jetten, he said that the Netherlands and the European Union are worried about, he said, press freedom and minority rights, among them the Muslim community and smaller communities. I wonder what the response is of the Indian government.“

A Gujarat-registered Toyota Fortuner recently driven onto Vagator Beach, Goa, got trapped by powerful waves and required a JCB for rescue.

The driver was detained by Anjuna police for reckless driving and violating beach safety regulations (driving on beaches is strictly prohibited to protect ecosystems and public safety).

Saltwater exposure has likely caused severe engine and underbody damage - a costly lesson in humility. Wealth buys vehicles, but wisdom respects boundaries.

What are your thoughts on it ? ....

A major mishap was reported during Vat Savitri celebrations after an ancient banyan (Vat) tree caught fire allegedly due to diyas being lit too close to its roots and hanging branches. Videos from the spot quickly surfaced on social media, showing flames spreading around the sacred tree as devotees gathered nearby in panic.

According to eyewitness accounts, several women were performing traditional rituals around the tree when the fire suddenly broke out. Smoke and flames engulfed a section of the centuries-old tree, forcing people at the site to move away immediately. Locals later attempted to control the blaze before it caused further damage.

The incident has sparked widespread debate online regarding fire safety during religious ceremonies and the protection of heritage trees. Many users expressed sadness over the damage caused to the ancient Vat tree, while others urged authorities and devotees to ensure safer practices during festive rituals in the future.

A woman was simply on her way to work in Dehradun — when she was stopped on the road by Bajrang Dal workers, threatened, and forced to join their protest against her will.
That's not activism. That's intimidation.
And it didn't stop there. She was publicly humiliated with communally charged questions — asked what happens when "they" touch her. On a public street. In broad daylight.

First came Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to spend less on fuel, fertilizer, and travel. Five days later, the Centre hiked the petrol and diesel prices across India.

The Congress hinted that with the polls over, the move was imminent.

The BJP, however, accused the Opposition party of politicising the issue when the world is facing an energy crisis.

While Russian crude is not subject to blanket sanctions, Washington has previously pushed New Delhi to cut back on discounted purchases in order to pressure Moscow over its war in Ukraine.

The relaxation reflects the trade-offs the Trump administration has been forced to adopt for its war against Tehran, which began in February and led to the near-total closure of crude flows through the Strait of Hormuz.
