India Surges to No.3 Global Power, Overtaking Japan and Russia in Latest Rankings

In a significant development, Australia’s prestigious Lowy Institute has, for the first time, recognised India as a ‘Major Power’.

Overall ranked as the third most powerful country in Asia, behind the US and China, the Lowy Institute’s Asia Power Index 2025 report says that “India’s power in Asia continues to grow steadily but remains well below the potential of its resources.”

Notably, this year India scored an overall comprehensive power score of 40.0, qualifying it for ‘major power status’. Last year, India’s comprehensive power score was 39.1, which only qualified it for ‘middle power status’.

A significant determinant for India’s enhanced power score was India’s demonstrated success in ‘Operation Sindoor’.

Meanwhile, besides the Lowy Institute report, another report by an Australian government-affiliated think tank notes India’s success in the four-day war with Pakistan in May.

This comes weeks after the World Directory of Modern Military Aircraft (WDMMA) ranked India above China in terms of air power. The Indian Air Force’s (IAF) demonstration of stand-off precision air-strikes against targets across the length and breadth of Pakistan in May was a major factor in WDMMA ranking India above China in terms of air power.

She Loved Me Even After the Bell Rang at Midnight

Every night after the school bell echoed at midnight, everyone vanished—except her. Bound to the haunted corridors by a secret love and an unfinished goodbye, she stayed to protect the boy who could still see her. Loving her meant risking his life, but forgetting her meant losing his heart forever

Where My Lonely Nights Found You

A quiet, emotional love story about two hearts shaped by solitude. In the stillness of long nights and unspoken pain, they unexpectedly find each other — turning loneliness into comfort and silence into belonging. What begins as a chance meeting becomes the place where healing, warmth, and love finally feel like home.

The Forest That Loved Her Back

No map dared to name the forest of Kaalvan , because maps only mark places that wish to be found. Arin entered it anyway. He was an adventure documentarian, chasing legends the way some people chased sunsets. Kaalvan was his last story—a forbidden forest where entire expeditions vanished, where compasses spun like frightened hearts, where locals whispered that the forest itself fell in love … and killed for it. On the first night, Arin heard her singing. It was soft, almost shy, threading through the trees like breath through ribs. Not a ghostly wail—something gentler. Human. Lonely.
