On May 21, 2025, Indian security forces killed Nambala Keshava Rao, known as Basavaraju. He was the general secretary of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) in the forests of Chhattisgarh. By November, his top military commander Madvi Hidma had also been eliminated. Union Home Minister Amit Shah on March 30, 2026 said in Parliament that India had achieved a nearly Naxal-free India.

By April 2026, only two districts…

Dehradun-based IAR Aviation has unveiled the Cluster Ghost Drone System (CGDS), a swarm-based decoy platform designed to mislead and overwhelm enemy air defence networks.This innovation marks a significant step in India’s indigenous drone warfare capabilities, providing a cost-effective solution to counter advanced radar and missile systems.The Cluster Ghost Drone System is engineered as a swarm of expendable aerial decoys capable of mimicking the radar signatures and flight profiles of combat aircraft or larger drones.By deploying multiple units simultaneously, the system can saturate hostile detection grids, forcing adversaries to expend valuable interceptor missiles and reveal their defensive positions.This approach reflects lessons…

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has decided some fundamental tenets of Christianity mark the world’s largest faith as a cult, and one that needs vigorous suppression.
