HARDNEWS

Thirteen years ago, Hardnews was established as a response to the simplification seen in mainstream media. Newspapers, magazines, and television were focusing on trivial matters, prioritizing lifestyle topics over more substantial issues. This period has been marked by significant political and social decline, where mediocrity and celebrity culture overshadowed meaningful art, intellectual exploration, and cultural milestones. The broader context of news became superficial and overly focused on urban life. This created a clear need for serious journalism. Hardnews does not aim to rival the so-called "jute press" of the past or the influx of new money into numerous TV channels and media platforms, as it lacks the financial resources to compete with their extensive reach.

Will Maharashtra election results be challenged by Congress led MVA?

Nov 27, 2024 | hardnewsmedia.com | Sanjay Kapoor

Electoral behaviour of voters has its own internal logic: the general belief is that the voters do not flip flop irrationally if they have no reason to do that. The question is, if the Congress party got handsome number of seats in the parliament elections May- June 2024, then why did it perform abysmally in some of the state assemblies where it had done well?

Will Trump really act on tariff threats against India?

Nov 14, 2024 | hardnewsmedia.com | Tridivesh Singh Maini

Less than a month before Donald Trump won the US presidential election, he clubbed China, Brazil and India as states that imposed the highest tariffs on foreign products. But singling out India as “the biggest charger of all”, Trump warned, in the same breath, that he would levy a reciprocal tax. The US-India tariff issue is not new. During his first presidency, Trump had branded India a “tariff king”, criticising the latter’s tax rates as very high.
