Why Prithviraj Chauhan Lost to Muhammad Ghori: The Strategic, Psychological, and Historical Reality of one of the greatest defeats in Indian history. Introduction: A Defeat That Altered the Indian History. The fact that Prithviraj Chauhan lost to Muhammad Ghori was not the loss of one king or one battle, but a historic incendiary which changed the politics, culture, and warfare of the Indian subcontinent over the centuries, since this war had demonstrated the profound collision of old-fashioned honor-based warfare and new strategic warfare, emotional confidence and strategic planning, and fixed power and dynamic intelligence. 1.

Union Budget 2026: Big Announcements, Bigger Numbers — But Who Really Bears the Cost? The Union Budget 2026–27 was presented with confidence, grand language, and ambitious visions of growth, self-reliance, and a future-ready India. At first glance, it appears bold and transformative. However, budgets are not judged by speeches; they are judged by numbers, priorities, and long-term impact. When we move beyond headlines and examine the allocations closely, a very different reality emerges—one that raises serious concerns about tax fairness, social development, employment generation, education, healthcare, and economic sustainability. This budget is more than a financial document. It reflects what the government values—and what it chooses to overlook. 1. Middle Class Tax Relief: Expectations Ignored, Burden Unchanged The Indian middle class entered Budget 2026 with a strong expectation of income tax relief.

How Afghanistan Killed All Superpowers in History: The Ugly Secret of the so called Graveyard of Empires.  Afghanistan has established a landmark that no country boasts with but none can pay without, as the country where civilizations come with a sense of assurance and go off with disappointment, defeat and missing answers. History demonstrates the repetition of the same trend as the British Empire during the 19 th century, the Soviet Union during the Cold war and the United States during the 21 st century, all joined Afghanistan with better and more advanced weapons, technology and influence over the world in general only to retreat without their initial intentions. It is not a coincidence, not a myth that is constructed with the help of propaganda, but rather the outcome of profound structural, cultural, geographic, and psychological processes which in combination form one of the most challenging conditions of foreign conquest on the planet. Geography: A Natural Barrier That Conf...

Yet, despite their courage, a critical question remains unanswered even today: why did the Rajput kings fail to unite against foreign invaders , even when the survival of their kingdoms and culture was at stake? This was not a failure of valor. It was a failure of unity, strategy, and long-term political vision.

Why China Needs Taiwan More than any other territory: the Strategic, Economic, Military, and psychological reasons. Taiwan presents a singularly critical case to China among all the other territorial conflicts in the world. It is not merely a matter of land, nationalism or historical claims. Taiwan is a meeting point of economic supremacy, military policy, technological domination, political authority and long-term world power aspirations. It is in this regard that Taiwan is at the heart of Chinese calculations in the future than any other territory. To comprehend this problem, it is necessary to go beyond the headlines and consider the underlying strategic reasoning of the insistence of Beijing on Taiwan. 1. Taiwan as the Key to China’s National Legitimacy and Political Narrative To the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Taiwan is not just a disputed land but it is a symbol of an incomplete statehood. Since the Chinese Civil War ceased in 1949 and two rival governments were left, T...
