A new NCRI survey reveals disturbing levels of support for political violence in the U.S., with 55% of left-leaning Americans saying Trump’s assassination could be justified. Elon Musk isn’t far behind, as nearly half express similar sentiments toward him. Over 57% even support attacking Tesla dealerships. NCRI warns of a rising “assassination culture” fueled by far-left ideology. Meanwhile, support grows online for Luigi Mangione, a Murder suspect now seen by some as a vigilante folk hero.

The US tariff impact is sending shockwaves across global markets, with India and other Asian giants facing new trade barriers. Robinder Nath Sachdev, a Foreign Affairs Expert, explains how Trump’s move is aimed at securing voter confidence and fulfilling his promises.

In this gripping episode, Oneindia uncovers the rising India-Pakistan tensions following the brutal Pahalgam terror attack. A peaceful Kashmiri town turned into a graveyard when Hindu tourists were selectively targeted and executed by Pakistan-backed terrorists. The Modi government’s reaction is swift, strategic, and unforgiving.
With diplomatic ties being scaled down, visa services suspended, and military readiness at its peak, India Pakistan tensions have reached a boiling point. Prime Minister Modi has sent a clear warning: those behind terror will face consequences beyond imagination. As India tests the INS Surat’s missile capabilities and tightens its military grip, the world watches how these India Pakistan tensions could reshape South Asian geopolitics forever. Pankaj Mishra with the details.

The terrorists, backed by Pakistan’s deep state—the army and ISI—attacked Kashmir. It is feared that this will have a lasting impact on tourism in Kashmir valley. This attack on tourists in Baisaran wasn’t just a strike against civilians; it was an assault on India’s growing stability, its global image, and the local population’s desire for normalcy. Tourists visiting Kashmir have expressed concerns also. Oneindia's Pankaj Mishra speaks to Girish Aryam from Benglauru. Girish was in Srinagar and says that India needs to stand in solidarity with Kashmir.

After the Pahalgam terror attack, India faces a tough call. This wasn’t just a strike—it was a message in civilian blood. Options range from surgical strikes in PoK to global diplomatic pressure on Pakistan. Terrorists want to turn Kashmir into a battleground by targeting peace itself through Pahalgam terror attack. India must show resolve—militarily, diplomatically, and morally. Silence isn’t peace. It's time to respond, smartly and strongly. The world must see the truth in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack.
Pankaj Mishra weighs in.
