Dr. Ankit Shah, known as the concept man of Sanatana economics, has developed a civilization model of economics grounded in Indian wisdom, prioritizing family duty, community, and sustainability. He has spoken at prestigious institutions, taught at IIM Ahmedabad, and participated in platforms like the G20 Y20 track and CI. He authored Geopolitics: Decoding Intent, Narrative, Lies and Future and is recognized for accurate predictions of major national and global political events. Born in Chennai, raised in Surat, and settled in Ahmedabad since 2012, Dr. Sha describes himself as having a decolonized mind from childhood. Largely untouched by the conventional education system until seventh grade, he found formal schooling disconnected from true education, which he believes should be fun, empowering, and aligned with natural abilities. He argues that expecting proficiency in 10–12 subjects is unnatural, as humans are naturally adept at two or three areas due to genetic permutations. He sha...

The second match of the Asia Cup 2025 turned into more than just a T20 showdown. From political undertones to heated gestures and on-field banter, India’s six-wicket victory over Pakistan carried layers of tension that lit up both the stadium and social media. No Handshakes: Symbolic Defiance In line with India’s post-Pahalgam stance, Indian players refused to shake hands with their Pakistani counterparts, turning the game into yet another reminder that this rivalry transcends cricket.

The Tariff Trigger: A World in Flux In a world teetering on the edge of transformation, the gears of global trade grind to a halt as the United States unleashes a 50% tariff on India, a bold move signaling the unraveling of decades of globalization. The once-mighty dollar, the unipolar force that stitched nations together through trade, begins to fray, giving way to a new chapter of deglobalization. This is not just a policy shift but a seismic quake, reshaping economies and alliances in its wake. The Rise of Digital Currencies: A Crypto Bridge The West, sensing the dollar’s waning grip, pivots to cryptocurrencies and stablecoins as a bridge to a digital future. American buyers now offer stablecoins to international sellers, leaving them to grapple with a pressing question: what can be done with these digital tokens in their home countries? Can they procure raw materials or pay workers with American crypto? The global financial stage buzzes with debate as institutions like the World Ba...

A Story Etched in Memory The communal violence of partition is often narrated through the writings of Saadat Hasan Manto , whose sharp pen exposed the raw wounds of society. One of his most unforgettable stories describes how a mob, driven by hatred, turned towards the statue of Rai Ganga Ram in Lahore. Stones, bricks, and sticks struck the monument; tar was smeared across its face; and a garland of old shoes was prepared to disgrace it. Yet, when police opened fire, the very man attempting to hang the garland was injured—and ironically, rushed to Rai Ganga Ram Hospital for treatment. Rai Ganga Ram was one of them, he was the "son of the soil", but there is no example of Converted provocation anywhere else. This short yet piercing tale is more than a satire. It symbolizes the irony of human ingratitude, where hatred blinds societies to the contributions of their greatest benefactors. Who Was Rai Ganga Ram? Rai Bahadur Rai Ganga Ram (April 1851 – 10 July 1927) was no ordin...

A Tale of Two Floods India is currently facing one of the largest floods in its recent history—far more destructive than what Pakistan has endured. Eastern Punjab, Haryana, and even the desert province of Rajasthan are submerged. Cities in Rajasthan, usually parched, are under water. In Ambala, streets have turned into canals. In Jammu, the bridge over the Tawi River collapsed under raging waters. In the east, Arunachal Pradesh reels from landslides and torrential rains, while Himachal Pradesh faces devastation similar to Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan. Humanitarian Gestures Amidst Tensions Despite strained relations, India has officially contacted Pakistan four times to provide advance flood warnings on humanitarian grounds. According to Pakistani media, India also extended wishes for Pakistan’s safety during this crisis. Yet, the headline that dominated Pakistani media was simple and predictable: “India did not stop its water aggression.” Shifting the Blame It is ...

The Awakening: A Nation Labeled and a Minister's Perplexity In the bustling corridors of global diplomacy, where whispers of power echo like ancient mantras, India awoke to a new dawn of accusations. It began with Peter Navarro, a voice from the American shadows, dubbing India the "Maharaja of Tariffs." He proclaimed that no nation imposed higher barriers on foreign goods, a claim shrouded in mystery—where did this data originate? Yet, this was no isolated barb; it linked to a chain of threats battering India's shores daily, each one a ripple from the turbulent seas of international intrigue. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, during his sojourn in Russia, faced the storm head-on. A reporter probed him on Navarro's salvo, but Jaishankar, ever the statesman, sidestepped personal jabs. Instead, he unveiled a rational linkage: the US had actively encouraged India to procure Russian oil to anchor global energy prices amid the Ukraine conflict. This wasn't ...
