Team TrickyScribe: A high-level workshop titled “Bihar State Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan on Agriculture and Horticulture” was organized on May 21, 2025, by the ICAR-Research Complex for Eastern Region (ICAR-RCER), Patna, in collaboration with the Bihar State Biodiversity Board (BSBB).
Chief Guest Sanjay Kumar Agarwal, Secretary, Agriculture, Government of Bihar, emphasized the critical role of crop diversification in securing the state’s agricultural future. He called upon researchers to identify challenges threatening Bihar’s agrarian system and advocate sustainable practices through preservation and promotion of native crop varieties.
Reviving Bihar’s Native Crop Wealth
Shree Agarwal stressed on conserving indigenous rice varieties like Katarni, Marcha, Sonachur, and Govind Bhog; bananas like Chiniya and Malbhog; the famed Shahi Litchi; mango varieties like Dudhiya Malda and Digha; and Jamun. “Development of need-based, high-yield seed varieties is essential to meet farmers’ expectations and promote sustainability,” he added.
Multi-Stakeholder Engagement for ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’
BSBB Chairman Bharat Jyoti explained the workshop’s broader vision aligning with the national goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047. The platform saw active participation from leading agricultural institutions including ATARI, RPCAU-Pusa, ICAR-CISH, and the Bihar state government. Dr. Anup Das, Director, ICAR-RCER, pledged close coordination with BSBB for long-term biodiversity preservation and optimal use.
Expert Views on Biodiversity and Horticulture
Key presentations were delivered by Dr. Sanjay Singh from ICAR-CISH Lucknow, Dr. Tanmay Kumar Koley, Dr. Kumari Shubha, and Dr. Narayan Bhakta from ICAR-RCER, highlighting the importance of fruit, vegetable, and agricultural biodiversity in Bihar. Experts underlined that agro-biodiversity is not just a scientific goal but a socio-economic imperative.
Towards an Integrated Strategy
Technical sessions covered a broad spectrum of factors—soil, water, livestock, fisheries, climate, and human resources—that influence biodiversity. The event concluded with a vote of thanks from Hemkant Roy, Joint Director, BSBB. Around 75 officials, scientists, and policymakers participated in the discussions, signaling a strong institutional commitment to shaping a resilient agricultural roadmap for Bihar.

Team TrickyScribe: On 18th May 2025 at 05:59 AM IST, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) initiated what was set to be a landmark 101st space mission. The PSLV-C61 carrying Earth Observation Satellite EOS-09 lifted off from the First Launch Pad (FLP) at Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SHAR), Sriharikota. The goal: to insert EOS-09 into a Sun Synchronous Polar Orbit (SSPO), enhancing India’s remote sensing capabilities.
Trusted Workhorse: PSLV-C61’s Technical Profile
The PSLV-C61 mission marked the 63rd flight of India’s highly reliable Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle and the 27th using the PSLV-XL configuration. Known for its versatility and precision, the launch vehicle stood 44.5 meters tall, with a lift-off mass of 321 tonnes and a four-stage configuration supported by six solid strap-on boosters.
The mission’s post-deployment plan also included using Orbit Change Thrusters (OCT) to reduce the altitude of the PS4 stage, followed by its passivation, demonstrating ISRO’s commitment to space debris mitigation.
EOS-09: Powering Remote Sensing for the Next Five Years
The payload, EOS-09, is a state-of-the-art Earth Observation Satellite equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), weighing 1696.24 kg. Designed with a five-year mission life, it was built to deliver continuous, all-weather remote sensing data across applications such as agriculture, disaster management, and infrastructure planning. Notably, it carried deorbiting fuel for safe end-of-life disposal — aligning with sustainable space practices.
Mission Interrupted: Anomaly in Third Stage Ends the Streak
While the PSLV-C61 performed nominally through the first and second stages, ISRO reported an observation in the third stage, which prevented the satellite from being successfully deployed into its intended orbit. As a result, the mission could not be accomplished as planned.
ISRO engineers are currently analyzing the telemetry and flight data to understand the root cause of the anomaly. A detailed report is expected in the coming days.
Setback, Not Defeat: ISRO’s Spirit Remains Unshaken
Despite the setback, ISRO’s legacy of innovation and resilience stands firm. The failed deployment of EOS-09 marks a rare anomaly in an otherwise sterling record for the PSLV series. Space agencies around the world have faced similar hurdles, and each instance has provided critical learning for future missions.
This development, while unfortunate, will likely serve as a stepping stone toward strengthening India’s space capabilities even further.

Team TrickyScribe: In a significant development following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025, Pakistan returned Indian Border Security Force (BSF) Jawan Purnam Kumar Shaw on May 14, 2025, succumbing to intense military and diplomatic pressure from India.
The release came on the heels of Operation Sindoor, a decisive Indian military operation that dismantled terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), exposing the fragility of Pakistan’s military defenses.
As Indian civilians celebrated the valor of the armed forces through nationwide Tiranga Yatras, India’s prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) canceled its academic agreement with Türkiye’s Inonu University, citing national security concerns over Türkiye’s military support to Pakistan.
Indian businesses, equally incensed by Türkiye’s actions, severed trade ties with the NATO ally, marking a sharp escalation in India’s response to foreign interference in the conflict.
Pakistan’s Military Crumbles Under Indian Onslaught
Release of BSF Jawan Purnam Kumar Shaw, captured by Pakistan Rangers on April 23, 2025, occurred at 10:30 AM at the Attari-Wagah border, a direct result of India’s relentless military and diplomatic offensive.
Launched on May 6-7, 2025, Operation Sindoor targeted nine terrorist sites, including strongholds of Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba in Bahawalpur and Muridke, eliminating over 100 terrorists, including high-value target Yusuf Azhar, a key figure in the 1999 IC-814 hijacking.
The operation showcased India’s military superiority, with the Indian Navy’s carrier battle group confining Pakistan’s naval forces to their harbors and the Indian Air Force deploying SCALP cruise missiles while neutralizing Pakistani drones and missiles with S-400 defense systems.
Pakistan’s military suffered significant losses, with reports indicating 35-40 personnel killed in cross-border exchanges between May 7-10, compared to India’s loss of five soldiers. The destruction of key airbases and terrorist infrastructure, coupled with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s refusal to bow to “nuclear blackmail,” forced Pakistan into a defensive stance.
Social media posts on X highlighted public sentiment, with users asserting that Pakistan’s decision to release Shaw stemmed from India’s global political clout and military dominance.
Tiranga Yatras: A Nation Rallies Behind Its Forces
Success of Operation Sindoor ignited a wave of patriotism across India, with civilians organizing Tiranga Yatras in cities like Ahmedabad, Porvorim, and Srinagar to honor the armed forces’ swift response to the Pahalgam massacre, which claimed 26 civilian lives, mostly tourists.
Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel joined a rally in Ahmedabad, while Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant participated in Porvorim, emphasizing that the operation targeted terrorism, not any nation or religion.
In Patna, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary led Tiranga Yatra as he lauded valour of Indian armed forces. In Srinagar, the Muslim Rashtriya Manch led a Bharat Yatra at Lal Chowk, celebrating India’s unity and military strength.
These marches, marked by giant tricolor flags and anti-terrorism slogans, reflected public outrage over the Pahalgam attack, where gunmen targeted families and newlyweds in a picturesque Kashmiri valley.
The operation’s codename, “Sindoor,” symbolizing the vermillion mark of married Hindu women, resonated deeply, as many victims were young couples. Families like that of Rajesh Narwal, father of a slain Navy officer, lauded the government for its resolute action.
JNU Suspends Academic Ties with Türkiye
Adding to the growing backlash against Türkiye’s support for Pakistan, India’s prestigious Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) announced the suspension of its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Inonu University, Türkiye, on May 13, 2025. In a statement, JNU cited national security concerns, stating: “Due to National Security considerations, the MoU between JNU and Inonu University, Türkiye stands suspended until further notice. JNU stands with the Nation.”
The decision followed revelations that Türkiye had supplied Pakistan with defense equipment, including drones, used in attempted retaliatory strikes on Indian border areas like Jammu, Samba, and Pathankot.
India’s successful interception of these drones, leveraging lessons from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, underscored Pakistan’s military inadequacies and amplified criticism of Türkiye’s role.
JNU’s move sent a strong signal of India’s unified stance against nations supporting Pakistan’s terror ecosystem, aligning academic institutions with the broader national response.
Indian Businesses Bid Adieu to Türkiye
Indian businesses, equally outraged by Türkiye’s cash and military aid to Pakistan post-Pahalgam, moved swiftly to sever trade ties with the NATO ally. Trade guilds, including the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the Federation of Sadar Bazar Traders Association, issued statements condemning Türkiye’s “distasteful choices” in backing Pakistan’s military-terror nexus. The CII, on May 9, 2025, hailed Operation Sindoor as a testament to India’s resolve and called for a reevaluation semiformal of economic relations with nations abetting terrorism.
The use of Turkish-supplied drones by Pakistan drew particular ire, prompting trade guilds in Delhi’s Sadar Bazar and Connaught Place to announce a boycott of Turkish goods.
The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) also cracked down on e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Flipkart for listing walkie-talkie devices suspected to be of Turkish origin, citing security risks.
Analysts predict a significant decline in India-Türkiye trade, previously worth billions annually, as public and corporate sentiment aligns against Türkiye’s actions.
A New Normal in India-Pakistan Relations
Operation Sindoor not only avenged the Pahalgam massacre but also redefined India’s anti-terror policy. In a televised address on May 13, 2025, Prime Minister Modi declared that India would no longer distinguish between terrorists and their state sponsors, signaling a doctrine of uncompromising retaliation.
Suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and the closure of the Attari-Wagah border underscored India’s hardline stance, with Modi noting that Pakistan had “contacted us in desperation” after being “soundly beaten.”
International community, including the United States, called for de-escalation, with President Donald Trump claiming credit for brokering a ceasefire on May 10, 2025.
Indian Ministry of External Affairs, however, clarified that the truce was contingent on Pakistan’s commitment to end cross-border terrorism.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri emphasized that India’s actions were a measured response to the Pahalgam attack, initially claimed by The Resistance Front, an offshoot of Lashkar-e-Taiba, before a retraction under pressure from Pakistani handlers.
The Way Ahead!
Return of BSF Jawan Purnam Kumar Shaw marks a triumph of India’s military and diplomatic resolve, forcing Pakistan to capitulate under pressure. The Tiranga Yatras reflect a nation united in its fight against terrorism, while JNU’s suspension of ties with Inonu University and the boycott of Turkish goods by Indian businesses signal a broader geopolitical shift.
Operation Sindoor has not only avenged the Pahalgam massacre but also established a “new normal” of decisive action, sending an unequivocal message: attacks on India will face unrelenting consequences. As India consolidates its stance, the fallout with Türkiye and the humbling of Pakistan’s military underscore the high stakes in this volatile region.

Aditya Vaibhav | Team TrickyScribe: On May 13, 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi landed at Adampur Air Force Station, just a fighter jet’s flight from the Pakistan border, for what appeared to be far more than just a morale-boosting photo op.
Visit followed the fiery Operation Sindoor—India’s direct military response to cross-border terrorism—and came with a clear subtext: India’s patience is not limitless, and its missiles certainly aren’t.
With high grade Russian military hardware, trade claims of President Trump got the Indian response PM Modi’s way.
MiGs, Missiles, & Mettle—A Showcase of Strategic Strength
Adampur, home to MiG-29s and the formidable S-400 air defense system and other crucial military resources, had recently found itself in the crosshairs of Pakistani FAKE NEWS campaigns claiming damage during hostilities.
PM Modi’s unshaken presence at the base, framed by an S-400, served as a live rebuttal. It wasn’t just optics—it was a power move, bolstering India’s superior air defense capabilities and its resolve to protect its skies with precision and pride while sending shivers down the spine of the adversary beyond our western front.
Message to Islamabad—No More ‘Mr Nice Neighbour’
In his speech, Modi outlined what analysts are calling the “Sindoor Doctrine”—a shift from strategic restraint to absolute strategic clarity! Terrorism will no longer be tolerated, and the nuclear bluff won’t work as a get-out-of-jail-free pass.
With Operation Sindoor neutralizing over 100 terrorists including Top Commanders and crippling adversary infrastructure, India has firmly signaled that provocations will now meet proportional—and preemptive—force.
Putin’s Tech, Washington’s Twitch—A Balancing Act in the Sky
With the Russian S-400 and MiG-29s standing tall behind him, PM Modi delivered more than just a domestic message. It was a quiet nod to Moscow, a subtle shrug at Washington, and a reminder to the world that India plays a non-aligned symphony—loud enough to be heard in both the Kremlin and the White House.
Amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims of brokering “peace over trade” between India and Pakistan, PM Modi’s visit reasserted who’s actually piloting the peace narrative!
Ceasefire… But Don’t Exhale Yet
Coming just three days after a mutually agreed ceasefire on May 10, PM Modi’s visit was carefully timed to convey a message: calm doesn’t mean closure.
India may have paused strikes, but the campaign isn’t over unless Pakistan mends its ways. In the high-stakes game of regional stability, PM Modi made it clear that India won’t be grounded by empty talks—even if Trump tweets otherwise.
Peace Talk? President Trump Claims Credit
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, former U.S. President Donald Trump—never one to miss a limelight moment—claimed he had “brokered peace between India and Pakistan over trade.” He had even congratulated his team for their efforts.
The statement, met with a mix of chuckles and cringes in South Block, came at a time when India’s jets had just returned from anti-terror sorties, not trade routes. Whether this was classic Trumpian hyperbole or a premature victory lap, it certainly didn’t match the footage rolling out of Adampur.
The Way Ahead!
In a week of high-flying symbolism and ground-level strategy, one thing’s clear: peace in South Asia may not be served on a trade platter—it’s being written in the sky, one sortie at a time.

Team TrickyScribe: In a strong and resolute address to the nation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made it unequivocally clear that any dialogue between India and Pakistan will be centered solely around two issues — terrorism and Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
“India’s stand has been clear — terror, trade, and talks cannot flow together,” PM Modi declared. “If there will be talks between India and Pakistan, it will only be on terrorism and PoK.”
The Prime Minister’s statement comes at a time when global concern about tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors is high, following recent escalations.
‘Shaanti ka Maarg bhi Shakti se Hokar Jaata Hai’
Referring to the auspicious occasion of Buddha Purnima, PM Modi invoked Lord Buddha’s teachings of peace but underlined the necessity of strength.
“Lord Buddha showed us the path of peace. ‘Shaanti ka maarg bhi Shakti se hokar jaata hai’ (The path of peace also passes through strength),” Modi said, emphasizing that India’s commitment to peace does not mean weakness.
Exposing Pakistan’s State-Sponsored Terrorism
PM Modi highlighted the blatant proof of Pakistan’s involvement in state-sponsored terrorism.
“The world has seen the dirty truth of Pakistan when high-ranked officers of the Army bid farewell to slain terrorists,” he said. “There cannot be a bigger proof of state-sponsored terrorism.”
He further stated that no “nuclear blackmail” would be tolerated anymore, drawing a firm red line for Islamabad.
Operation Sindoor: A Pledge of Justice
Describing India’s recent military actions, PM Modi spoke about Operation Sindoor, calling it not just a mission but a people’s movement.
“Operation Sindoor is a reflection of the feelings of millions of Indians. It is an unbroken pledge of justice,” the Prime Minister said, referring to the precise strikes carried out on terrorist sites deep inside Pakistan on the night of May 6 and the morning of May 7.
According to Modi, terrorist strongholds like Bahawalpur and Muridke — termed as “universities of global terrorism” — were directly linked to major terror attacks worldwide, including 9/11.
Missiles, Drones and a Shaken Enemy
Revealing details of the attacks, PM Modi said,
“When Indian missiles and drones attacked those sites in Pakistan, it was not just the buildings of terrorist organisations that were targeted; their courage was also shattered.”
He added that the Indian Armed Forces had been given full freedom to respond decisively, vowing that the consequences of harming India’s daughters and mothers would be severe.
“Every terrorist and every terror organisation now knows ‘ki hamari behno, betiyo ke maathe se sindoor hatane ka anjaam kya hota hai’,” he asserted.
“We Have Just Paused Our Strikes”: Modi Warns Pakistan
Making it clear that India’s military response was not over, PM Modi said,
“We have just paused our attacks on the terrorist and military sites of Pakistan.”
The Prime Minister saluted the capability, patience, and professionalism of India’s armed forces, intelligence agencies, and scientists who made the successful operations possible.
Global Relief: Trump Credits His Team for Averting a Nuclear War
Amid rising fears of a larger conflict, US President Donald Trump acknowledged the gravity of the India-Pakistan standoff. Speaking publicly, Trump stated,
Trump’s remarks underline just how close the region had come to a catastrophe — a scenario averted through intense back-channel diplomacy and firm action.
“We stopped a nuclear conflict. I think it could have been a bad nuclear war. Millions of people could have been killed. I also want to thank VP JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for their work.”

Ganesh Kumar | Team TrickyScribe: In a major counterterror win, Motihari Police and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested dreaded Khalistani terrorist Kashmir Singh Galwaddi, alias Balbir Singh, close to the India-Nepal border.
With a ₹10 lakh bounty on his head, Singh was wanted for plotting attacks against India under the Khalistan Liberation Front and Babbar Khalsa International banners. His arrest highlights just how vulnerable the porous border has become for enemy forces seeking to destabilize India.
Four Chinese Nationals Nabbed in Shocking Infiltration Attempt
Just days later, the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) exposed another major threat: four Chinese nationals were caught trying to sneak into India via the Raxaul Maitri Bridge—without valid documents.
Triggered by the high alert under Operation Sindoor, security forces tightened checks post the Pahalgam attack, leading to the swift interception. Now under intense interrogation, these suspects have sparked fears of a larger spy or terror ring at play. A French National was also detained in Racaul only to be sent back to Nepal after brief local-level questioning.
Shifty Narratives & a Pakistan Connection?
Investigators found major red flags: the Chinese suspects, fluent in Hindi, Nepali, English, and Mandarin, initially posed as Nepali citizens. Their evasive answers—and reports linking one of them to a Pakistan-based handler—have escalated security concerns exponentially.
Authorities are now probing whether this was an isolated incident—or part of a broader, coordinated infiltration attempt targeting India’s critical frontier.
China’s Soft Power Play: Winning Hearts and Minds in Nepal
Even as India grapples with rising threats, China is quietly weaving influence right under India’s nose.
In a recent soft power push, the China Foundation for Rural Development and Global Cooperation for Development, Lalitpur distributed educational materials, stationery, and hygiene kits to 104 students across six schools in Birgunj and Bara, Nepal—right along the India-Nepal border.
By engaging schoolchildren early, Beijing appears to be building a long-term strategic presence, creating loyalty and goodwill in a region vital to India’s security.
Operation Sindoor: India’s First Line of Defense
Operation Sindoor, launched to counter escalating border threats after the Pahalgam incident, has proven pivotal.
Rigorous ID checks, intensified patrols, and relentless intelligence operations have helped neutralize immediate threats—but with China’s growing influence and terror links surfacing, the challenges are only multiplying.
It must be mentioned here that Bihar CM Nitish Kumar had reviewed vigilance of India-Nepal Border with officials of state administration, armed forces and Sashastra Seema Bal on May 10, 2025, in wake of the baying Operation Sindoor.
The Battle for the Border Is Just Beginning
From terror arrests to soft power campaigns, the India-Nepal border is fast becoming a high-stakes chessboard where terror networks, foreign spies, and global powers are vying for control.
As legal proceedings continue against the suspects, India’s security agencies are working overtime to ensure that no breach—whether through violence or influence—threatens the nation’s sovereignty.
