Europe

Pipelines and Power

Europe’s energy map was supposed to be changing. After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, leaders in Brussels spoke of diversification, resilience, and the end of strategic dependence.

New space for e-two wheelers in city

After its recent global launch in Europe, Ultraviolette opened its state-of-the-art experience centre in Kolkata. This is part of its expansion plans across India and competing with other electric two-wheelers in India.

In much of the West, bilingualism is often framed as a cognitive edge ~ an acquired skill to sharpen the ageing brain or enrich young minds.

US President Donald Trump’s return to assertive policymaking has arrived with a dramatic mix of carrot and stick.

Flawed republic, grand vision

The United States - champion of liberal democracy, cradle of individual freedom and standard-bearer of civil liberties - is marking its 250th birthday. “Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press,” reads the First Amendment - words etched into the American conscience and echoed in every town square, newspaper column, and courtroom debate.
