  • Brighton 3-0 Chelsea, EPL: Blues' Torrid Run Continues With Another Defeat

    Chelsea’s season slumped deeper into crisis after a 3-0 defeat to Brighton on Tuesday left its hopes of Champions League qualification hanging by a thread. The result leaves Chelsea seventh in the Premier League and seven points adrift of fifth place Liverpool having played a game more. The top five qualify for the Champions League, but with just four more rounds of the season to go, Chelsea is on the verge of being cut adrift. Goals from Ferdi Kadioglu, Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck at the AMEX Stadium did not reflect Brighton’s dominance on the night. Victory saw it leapfrog Chelsea and move up to sixth in the standings and boosted its own pursuit of European soccer next season.

    In a thrilling display of resilience at the San Siro on April 22, Wednesday, Inter Milan overturned a two-goal deficit to defeat Como 3-2, securing their place in the Coppa Italia 2025-26 Final.

  • A Communist Village In The Dravidian Heartland

    Vennivelampatti, a remote village about 40 kilometres from Madurai, appears unremarkable at first glance. Yet, it stands apart for a political legacy it has preserved for over six decades. Even as Communist parties have become numerically marginal in Tamil Nadu’s electoral politics, the village takes pride in its enduring ideological roots. A modest party office at its entrance, its walls lined with portraits of Communist stalwarts, quietly signals the history and convictions that continue to shape this otherwise nondescript settlement. | Text by Bhoopesh N K

In this part of the world, he is not the philosopher or economist who altered the course of world history, but a Communist — a construction worker by profession. He lives with his family in a modest one-room house. In a State that prides itself on its Dravidian legacy, Marx, like many others in this village, nurtures a quiet hope: to build a just, classless society — the very ideal that Marxists have long envisioned. “My father was a Communist. He gave me this name, and I carry it with pride.” he says
  • Real Madrid 2-1 Alaves La Liga 2025-26: Mbappe, Vinicius Score As Los Blancos Snap Winless Streak

    In a much-needed return to form at the Santiago Bernabeu on April 22, Wednesday, Real Madrid defeated Deportivo Alavés 2-1 to end a four-game winless streak across all competitions and narrow the gap on league leaders Barcelona. After a frustrating period that included their exit from the UEFA Champions League, Los Blancos found their spark in the 30th minute when Kylian Mbappe broke his league goal drought with a deflected strike—his 24th of the campaign. The lead was doubled shortly after halftime when Vinícius Junior unleashed a powerful long-range effort in the 50th minute, marking his first goal in six matches. Despite Madrid's dominance, Alaves remained persistent and managed to pull one back in the 93rd minute through Toni Martinez, who capitalized on a late defensive lapse. However, the strike proved to be a mere consolation as the referee blew for full-time moments later, securing three vital points for the home side.

  • Welfarism To Delimitation: Campaign Narrative Shifts In Tamil Nadu’s Final Stretch

    With just six days left before polling, Tamil Nadu’s political battle has entered its most intense phase. Braving the scorching summer heat, leaders across parties are leaving no stone unturned to reach voters. While large billboards are noticeably absent in urban centres, party workers and supporters have improvised—turning street corners and vacant plots into makeshift campaign offices that double up as coordination hubs for rallies and outreach programmes. In Madurai, where IT Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan is seeking re-election, the contest has taken on added significance. The two principal opposition forces, AIADMK and TVK are engaging voters through street-level campaigns,, and small public meetings—strategies aimed at maximising direct voter contact in the final stretch. As campaigning peaks, the state is witnessing a blend of hyper-local mobilisation and high-pitched political messaging, setting the stage for a closely watched electoral contest.
