Jagroop Singh Sekhwan, son of former Shiromani Akali Dal leader Sewa Singh Sekhwan, contested the 2022 elections from Qadian on an Aam Aadmi Party ticket when the AAP wave was strong across Punjab. Yet, he finished third, even behind the Shiromani Akali Dal candidate, while Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa continued to hold strong control over Qadian. When even a strong wave could not help him make an impact, and with Bajwa’s firm grip still in place, the question becomes sharper about his own standing in the constituency. As 2027 approaches, can Sekhwan challenge Bajwa and change his fortunes, or will Qadian remain out of reach for him ?

A fresh transatlantic strain is unfolding as Donald Trump signals a review of 36,000 U.S. troops in Germany, following sharp exchanges with Friedrich Merz over Iran and NATO roles. From Washington to Berlin, the messaging is shifting, Germany is advancing its own military strategy while stepping back from key joint missions, raising questions about the future balance of power within the alliance. Is this a calculated reset of responsibilities or an early sign of a deeper rupture ?
एक नया ट्रांसअटलांटिक तनाव उभर रहा है, जब डोनल्ड ट्रंप ने जर्मनी में तैनात 36,000 अमेरिकी सैनिकों की समीक्षा का संकेत दिया है, जो फ्रेडरिक मर्ज़ के साथ ईरान और NATO की भूमिका को लेकर हुई तीखी बयानबाज़ी के बाद आया है। वॉशिंगटन से बर्लिन तक संदेश बदलता दिख रहा है, जर्मनी अपनी स्वतंत्र सैन्य रणनीति आगे बढ़ा रहा है और कुछ संयुक्त मिशनों से पीछे हट रहा है, जिससे गठबंधन के भीतर शक्ति संतुलन को लेकर सवाल उठ रहे हैं। क्या यह जिम्मेदारियों का एक सोचा-समझा पुनर्संतुलन है या किसी गहरी टूट की शुरुआत ?
With the Iran war entering day 61, oil prices surging, the UAE quitting OPEC, and the Strait of Hormuz crisis shaking global trade, a larger geopolitical question is now emerging. If one regional conflict can rattle energy markets, split alliances, and drag world powers deeper in, are we witnessing the start of a new era where economic warfare matters as much as military warfare ? While ceasefires may pause missiles, can trust, shipping routes, and investor confidence recover so easily ? And as tensions grow between Washington, Tehran, Gulf states, and Israel, could the real battlefield now be the global economy rather than the Middle East alone ?
