How the Mughals Built a Spy Empire: Intelligence Network Kept Hindu Kings on Their Toes

Long before modern intelligence agencies existed, Mughal emperors had developed an extensive and sophisticated spy network to maintain control over their vast empire and keep a close watch on regional Hindu rulers. Historical records reveal that even without a formal Intelligence Bureau, the Mughals received instant updates about the smallest movements in Rajput courts and beyond. Direct Reports to the Emperor The Mughal intelligence system was headed by the Mir Bakshi, the military chief, who appointed spies and reporters. These officers were powerful enough to report directly to the emperor, ensuring that information about corruption, rebellion, or unrest in the provinces reached Delhi or Agra immediately. Five Layers of Mughal Espionage According to Dr. Wasim Rashid, Assista...

The new slogan is now ‘Remove Rahul, bring Priyanka.’” According to BJP, Masood’s statement reflects internal dissatisfaction within the Congress and highlights a push for leadership change....

Supreme Court Accepts Petition Against ‘100-Meter Rule’ for Aravalli Hills Mining

New Delhi:The controversy over mining in the Aravalli Hills has escalated as the Supreme Court of India has admitted a petition challenging the “100-meter criterion” used to define which hills qualify as part of the Aravalli range. The petition was filed by R.P. Balwan, a retired forest official from Haryana, raising concerns over the environmental impact of this new benchmark. The 100-Meter Controversy Earlier, a committee under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) recommended that hills 100 meters or taller should be considered as Aravalli. On November 20, the Supreme Court adopted this definition as a standard for regulating mining activities. Balwan, however, has now challenged this approach, arguing that it undermines conservation efforts for this anci...

IAF’s ‘Flying Tanks’ to Fall Silent, Indigenous Prachand to Become India’s New Battlefield Predator

New Delhi:In a significant step towards modernisation and self-reliance in defence, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is preparing to retire its ageing Soviet-origin Mi-35 attack helicopters—popularly known as the ‘Flying Tanks’—and replace them with India’s indigenous Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) ‘Prachand’, designed specifically for high-altitude warfare. End of an Era: Mi-35 Helicopters to be Phased Out According to defence sources, the Mi-35 fleet will be completely phased out by 2030–31, marking the end of nearly four decades of service by Russian heavy attack helicopters in the Indian arsenal. The Mi-25 and Mi-35 helicopters, inducted during the 1980s and 1990s, earned the nickname ‘Flying Tanks’ due to their heavy armour, firepower, and capability to transport troops while deliverin...

Assam and the 1946 British Plan to Merge with Bangladesh: PM Targets Congress

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently targeted the Congress Party while discussing Assam’s history amid ongoing violence against minorities in Bangladesh. He referred to a controversial plan by the British in 1946, aimed at merging Assam with what later became East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), a plan that ultimately failed due to strong local opposition. The 1946 Cabinet Mission PlanAfter World War II, the British government sent three cabinet ministers to India on March 24, 1946 under the so-called Cabinet Mission. While officially tasked with preparing India for self-governance, the mission reportedly sought to decide which parts of undivided India would remain in India and which would go to Pakistan. The plan envisioned a three-tier federal structure, with: A central fed...

Aravalli Hills: The “100-Meter Height” Loophole and Its Ecological Risks

New Delhi: The Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the Aravalli Hills has raised concerns among environmentalists, sparking debates over how these ancient hills are defined and protected. The controversy centers on the Court’s decision to classify only land rising at least 100 meters (328 feet) above the surrounding terrain as part of the Aravalli range. While clusters of two or more such hills within 500 meters of each other will collectively form the Aravalli Hills, critics warn that this definition could leave many smaller but ecologically significant hills vulnerable to mining and construction. Ecological Importance of the AravallisThe Aravalli range, stretching over 650 kilometers from Delhi to Gujarat, is one of the oldest geological formations in India, dating back approximately 32 ...
