1.

India, France agree to intensify defence, space, n-cooperation

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday held wide-ranging discussions with French counterpart Jean-Noël Barrot on a range of issues and the two sides agreed to intensify bilateral cooperation in areas like defence, security, space and civilian-nuclear collaboration.-


2.

Axiom-4 mission: Indefinite delay due to leak on ISS, not oxygen leak on launch vehicle

While problems in electricals, oxygen leak, and unfavourable weather conditions were initially behind the delays of Axiom-4 space mission, it was an issue related to pressurisation in one of the modules of the International Space Station (ISS) that has now led to the mission being delayed indefinitely.


3.

Picking up the pieces 

Thursday's Boeing 787-8 crash in Ahmedabad is troubling for multiple reasons. More than 250 people are reported to have lost their lives, including more than 20 on the ground. Different nationalities were involved, reportedly including 53 British nationals. The tragedy took place during the day and was repeatedly shown on television. The fact that Air India has had a relatively good safety record of late has made the tragedy even more shocking. This is also the first time that a Dreamliner 787-8 has been involved in an accident.


4.

The past is an Inspiration 

India's Civilisational Journey is one of unparalleled continuity - its roots run deep, nourished by thousands of years of spiritual inquiry, scientific advancement and cultural sophistication. Yet, the collective memory of Hindu empires that upheld this tradition seems to have faded from mainstream consciousness. For a country that takes justifiable pride in its freedom fighters, why do we not celebrate the heroes who defended this land centuries ago? Why are names like Ghori, Babur, or Aurangzeb more familiar to students than Lalitaditya Muktapida, Vikramaditya, or Krishnadevaraya? What became of the festivals that once commemorated Hindu sovereignty, cultural flourishing, and spiritual freedom?


5.

Change the angle 

Perspective is everything. It has now been reaffirmed by the Solar Orbiter -a Sun-observing probe launched jointly by the European Space Agency and NASA in 2020. On Wednesday, the spacecraft released images of the Sun's South Pole, marking a scientific breakthrough in space. Made possible by a tilt in the orbit of the probe, these are first images of the poles from outside the ecliptic plane. The new angle also allowed the Orbiter to map magnetic activity at the Sun's pole a groundbreaking reveal for the future of solar research.


6.

Old conflict, new front 

After weeks of brinkmanship and uncertainty, Israel has crossed the Rubicon and launched a massive attack on a host of strategic targets in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Code-named Operation Rising Lion, this is the most dramatic, extensive and scaled-up Israeli offensive against a state, at least since the June War of 1967.


7.

Aspiration, choice, demography

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has released its State of the World Population Report 2025, which focuses on "Real fertility crises: The pursuit of reproductive agency in a changing world". As fertility rates decline worldwide, the crisis lies not in population numbers but in unmet reproductive aspirations of women and couples. It specifically refers to the gap between an individual's or couple's desires regarding children and family size and the social, cultural, or policy-driven expectations placed on them. Concerns about population shifts are driving demographic anxiety that is undermining the reproductive autonomy of women globally, including in India.


8.

Reframing religious freedom 

In an interesting report, 'Changing the conversation about religious freedom: An integral human development approach', published in June last year, the Atlantic Council, a US-based think tank, claimed that it was seeking "a new approach to religious freedom that integrates it with integral human development (IHD)". In a welcome departure from the earlier practice of demonising countries in the name of religious freedom, the report argued that religious freedom should not only be treated as a human right but also as "a crucial component of overall human flourishing and sustainable development".


9.

Israel's biggest ever attack at the heart of Iran

In what is its most ambitious military operation in recent years, Israel launched a series of air strikes against Iran on Friday, targeting nuclear sites, missile facilities and other military infrastructure. The attack killed some of the country's key military and civilian personnel as well.
