Turkey's caliphate delusions and India's security concerns
Turkey, once embodying Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's secular, modern vision, now stumbles under the iron-fisted whims of a man chasing the ghosts of the past. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has gone from reformer to radical, from statesman to strongman. His current avatar? A self-styled Caliph of the 21st century, broadcasting delusions of grandeur across the Muslim world. Let us not sugar-coat it, this is not religious revivalism. It is a well-rehearsed, high-budget cosplay of the Ottoman Empire, starring Erdoğan as the lone ranger of the Ummah. His bromance with Pakistan and hostility toward India are not products of ideology but ambition. He treats it as an Influence Olympics and he is doing whatever it takes to win gold. Cloaked in nostalgia and supercharged by social media, Erdoğan's neo-Ottoman propaganda seeks to radicalise young minds from Kashmir to Kerala. His tactics are straight from the dictator's playbook — mask authoritarianism with messianic rhetoric, fund proxies, push propaganda, and exploit identity fault lines. And India, one of the most diverse nations and an exemplar of pluralism, must level up. His drones fly across the Line of Control (LoC), but they carry more than narcotics or arms, they carry messages. Messages that say, 'We're watching, we're coming, and we have got technology too.' The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) from across the LoC are manufactured in Turkey and rebranded in Pakistan, similar to Chinese missiles with Pakistani names. Same chips, new lies. It's like watching bootleg missiles in a bad spy movie, except this is real. Whether we like it or not, Turkey has built a formidable drone warfare industry, punching far above its weight. Its UAVs have altered battlefields in the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict and reshaped dynamics in multiple wars across the Middle-East and North Africa (MENA) region. India needs to stop playing nice and start playing smart. Equip Turkey's adversaries, Armenia, Cyprus, Greece, Saudi Arabia, with indigenous drone tech, cyber-defence systems and engage them in sharper diplomacy. Give Erdoğan a reality check: India does not just vibe, it retaliates. And while Erdoğan plays Sultan on TikTok, real States such as the UAE, backed by Saudi Arabia and Egypt are pushing back — with dignity, not delusional dreams. West Asia is not falling for his bait, and neither should India. These nations are not just challenging his economic model but his ideological export factory. The time has come for a coalition of civilisations, a bloc to counter the radicalism of the Turkey-Pakistan duet. Their CVs are written in blood: Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks, Kashmiris, and Bengalis. Their history of genocidal experiences is no footnote. India must stop doom-scrolling while Erdoğan's bots work overtime. The Turkish dissident Gülenist movement – led by Fethullah Gülen and termed by the Erdoğan administration as the Fethullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) — has been crushed inside Turkey, but is alive globally. This offers India a diplomatic opportunity. It should offer asylum and give them platforms. Make India the new Istanbul for liberal Turkish exiles. We did not ask for this ideological war, but we cannot afford to lose it. Meanwhile, the Turkish India-bashing machinery and its infrastructure is vast and well-funded. Over the years, State-backed Turkish media agencies such as the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) and Anadolu Agency (AA), along with countless non-profits and academic institutions, have been hiring ISI proxies from Pakistan as well as Jammu and Kashmir. Similarly, Turkish NGOs such as the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA), the Diyanet Foundation and the Turkey Youth Foundation (TUGVA) are running as religious start-ups and trying to dent India's sovereignty. Funded by Ankara and cloaked in cultural exchange, they run recruitment drives without even informing Indian missions. Students lured through flashy scholarships are groomed into soft agents of radicalism. It constitutes academic gaslighting at its finest. Let us set the record straight: Any Indian or Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholder who supports Turkey's radical designs or acts against Indian interests should be stripped of status and access. National identity is not a prop. It is a privilege. Erdoğan is also using entertainment as his weapon of choice. Turkish serials like Ertugrul and Barbaroslar are Caliphate-core propaganda. These shows are not just binge-worthy, they have brainwash potential. The Kashmir Valley is saturated with clips romanticising religious conquest and resistance — Instagram reels today, ideological grenades tomorrow. The Imam Hatip schools, funded directly by Erdoğan, act as radical production houses, manufacturing the next generation of zealots, influencers and apologists. Not to forget the IHH, masquerading as a humanitarian NGO, while running parallel political missions in Kashmir and beyond. Erdoğan is a person of binaries, dichotomies and paradoxes. And while advertising itself as a modern Islamic power committed to dialogue with much fanfare, Turkey's State machinery under Erdoğan simultaneously funds radical voices, fugitives and known extremists in hiding. This duplicity must be exposed. Erdoğan is not a political phoenix but a paranoid populist. Aging, erratic, and increasingly isolated, he knows his time is short. That is why he is sprinting toward the mirage of Ummah leadership with one foot in delusion and the other in desperation. India must wake up, show up and scale up. Use media, diplomacy and diaspora networks. Let Erdoğan's own people turn the tide. We don't need missiles to counter every menace: Ideas are mightier than drones. This is not just an external threat. We can no longer afford to treat Turkey's antics as distant drama. This is not fiction. It is Erdoğan's audition for Caliph, and India must ensure he never makes the cut.

Indian Army testing various lethal weapons at various sites, these weapons include..., Pakistan, China are...
New Delhi: During the recent tensions with Pakistan, the Indian Army showcased some of its weapons to the world. In addition to this, the army is also testing weapons and defense technology at several locations. The trials conducted by the army are taking place in field firing ranges such as Pokhran, Babina, and Joshimath. Additionally, tests related to air defense technologies are ongoing in Agra and Gopalpur. Purpose behind the tests If you are wondering what the purpose of the testing is, the answer is that it is being conducted in conditions similar to war and with electronic warfare (EW) systems to see how effective these weapons will be in real combat. Moreover, these tests are also part of the Indian Army's 'Decade of Transformation' plan. The aim of this plan is to rapidly incorporate new technologies developed in India into the army, especially those created under the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative. Recently, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi visited the Babina field firing range and also reviewed the ongoing trials there. He also held discussions with army officers and private defense companies. The following weapons and systems are being tested: Drones and Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Precision bombs dropped from drones (ULPGM) Drones that can fly without a runway (RPAS) Technology to counter enemy drones (Counter-UAS) Weapons that attack while loitering (Loitering Munitions) SVL drones that attack directly from above Systems that drop multiple bombs at once Systems for identifying and destroying drones (IDDIS) Light radar systems Next generation VSHORADS (Very Short Range Air Defense Systems) Electronic warfare platforms These tests are being conducted at a time when just a few days ago, India conducted a counterattack on terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) under 'Operation Sindoor'. This attack was in retaliation for the Pahalgam terrorist attack that resulted in the death of 26 people.

Army tests next-gen indigenous defence systems under simulated combat conditions, showcases ‘Aatmanirbhar' capabilities across India
File photo NEW DELHI: The Indian Army is currently carrying out extensive Capacity Development Demonstrations at multiple key locations across India, including Pokhran Field Firing Ranges, Babina Field Firing Ranges, and Joshimath. Separate air defence demonstrations are scheduled at Agra and Gopalpur. These trials are being conducted under simulated operational conditions, with integrated electronic warfare (EW) environments to rigorously evaluate the performance of advanced defence systems. Earlier this week, Chief of the Army Staff General Upendra Dwivedi visited the Babina Field Firing Ranges, where he reviewed the ongoing trials and engaged with all stakeholders, including defence industry partners and Army officials. The demonstrations are part of the Indian Army's larger roadmap for a 'Decade of Transformation' and aim to fast-track the absorption of emerging technologies, particularly those developed under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative. A wide range of platforms is undergoing trials, showcasing the synergy between the Indian Army and indigenous defence manufacturers. Key systems being evaluated include: Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) UAV Launched Precision Guided Munition (ULPGM) Runway Independent (RWI) Remotely Piloted Aerial Systems (RPAS) Counter-UAS Solutions Loitering Munitions Specialised Vertical Launch (SVL) Drones Precision Multi Munition Delivery Systems Integrated Drone Detection and Interdiction System (IDDIS) Low Level Light Weight Radars VSHORADS (Next Generation) Infrared Systems Electronic Warfare (EW) Platforms These demonstrations are designed to assess combat viability and ensure that the Indian Army remains technologically superior and operationally prepared for future conflicts. The trials underscore the Army's commitment to strengthening national defence through indigenous innovation and self-reliance.
