By Prabhat Patnaik The juggling which US imperialism has to do to maintain its hegemony becomes more bizarre by the day.

James M Dorsey Struggling to remain on the sidelines of the 21st century’s watershed war in Ukraine, Middle Eastern nations are discovering that they may be fighting their battles with an outdated toolkit. As a result, the Ukraine war could saw off the legs from under the table of Middle Eastern détente that already are built on shaky ground. For the past 18 months, Middle Eastern rivals – Saudi […]

By Sushil Kutty Bahujan Samaj Party supremo ‘Behen’ Mayawati feels betrayed by the ‘bahujan samaj’. The BSP’s Muslim vote-bank dumped the elephant for the cycle and, watching this migration, the party’s upper caste and non-Jatav vote-banks also left fearing the return of the “jungle raj” of the Samajwadi Party if they didn’t join the bandwagon […]

By Nantoo Banerjee The US-led western trade, economic and financial sanctions on Russia seem to be working instantly, but less to the discomfort of Russia than the rest of the world.

James M Dorsey Two diametrically opposed visions of moderate Islam have emerged as major Muslim powers battle to define the soul of their faith in the 21st century in a struggle that is as much about geopolitics as it is about autocratic survival and visualisations of a future civilisation and world order.

Matein Khalid The Russian invasion of Ukraine is both a humanitarian tragedy and an economic disaster. Something is dangerously wrong in a world where its second largest oil producer is now a pariah state that makes a mockery of international law and will soon be crippled once its banks are ejected from SWIFT. Russia and Ukraine are also the source of almost one third the world’s wheat/corn […]
