By Fr. Cedric Prakash SJ*  The latest issue (dated 25 April 2026) of the popular magazine Frontline carries an incisive article titled, “What Noida’s Worker Strikes Tell Us About the Labour Codes ’ Broken Promise.” Written by T.K. Rajalakshmi, the summary states: “The protests by industrial workers across the National Capital Region and adjoining areas, and the violence and police repression that followed, are telling evidence that despite the hollow promises accompanying the new Labour Codes, little has changed on the ground.”

By Sandeep Pandey*  When Israel was being created, Mahatma Gandhi had clearly said that Palestine belongs to the Arabs just as England belongs to the English and France to the French. In other words, he had rejected the proposal to create Israel in the Jerusalem region.

By Ravi Ranjan*  In the landscape of contemporary Hindi poetry, Savita Singh stands out as a creator whose work probes deeply into women’s experience, self-awareness, the body, and the philosophical dimensions of time. Her poetry does not treat woman merely as subject matter; rather, woman emerges as a powerful centre of knowledge and creation. 

By Harsh Thakor*  Dubai Millennium scaled heights rarely transcended in the sport of horse racing before tragically perishing too soon. Many racehorses become legends, but only a few are remembered as destiny’s chosen creatures—beings so exceptional that they seem to transcend beyond the boundaries of sport itself, scaling realms metaphysical. Dubai Millennium symbolised one such horse, who on April 29 marks the 25th anniversary of his death. His life epitomised a dream that was realised and then heartbreakingly lost. Dubai Millennium was not merely bred—he was a creature of destiny.
