India continue decade of dominance over Pakistan with Pro League win

India continue decade of dominance over Pakistan with Pro League win

3 min readJun 23, 2026 10:04 PM IST It wasn’t pretty how it ended, and Craig Fulton might not be pleased with the way India began. But India’s strength on the ball in the two middle quarters, the second and third, was enough for them to eke out a 4-3 win over Pakistan in a breathless FIH Pro League contest in London on Tuesday. The win extended a remarkable run that has now seen India stay unbeaten against their arch-rivals for more than a decade. The victory may have been worth three Pro League points, but it carried significance far beyond a single evening. With India and Pakistan drawn in the same pool at August’s World Cup and also likely to cross paths at the Asian Games in September, Tuesday’s encounter could be the first of several meetings between the rivals over the next 100 days. They will face each other again in the return Pro League fixture on June 26. India entered the match as favourites, not just because of a superior record in …

‘We will go to war’: Pakistan threatens India as the country faces a water crisis

‘We will go to war’: Pakistan threatens India as the country faces a water crisis

Pakistan’s defence minister, Khawaja Asif, has threatened war against India over water security after New Delhi said that its decision to keep the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance was “unchanged”. India has been firm on the suspension of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty, a consequence of the Pakistan-sponsored terror attack in Pahalgam in April 2025, which claimed 26 lives. (REUTERS/ File) The statement from Asif comes as the Pakistan government faces widespread domestic instability and an internal water crisis that experts attribute to gross mismanagement. Speaking to ARY News on Saturday, Asif declared, “The moment we feel that our national security, and water is part of our national security, is being threatened, we will go to war against India. Definitely.” He further claimed that military action would be considered if Islamabad found evidence that India was acting at an “alarming speed” to disrupt water supplies.

‘Deliberate political attack’: MEA rejects Pakistan President’s remarks on minority rights in India

India on Saturday strongly rejected comments made by Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari on the alleged demolition of Muslim historical sites in the country, saying that he has no locus standi to comment on India’s internal matters.

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said on Friday that the United States’ ties with Pakistan are separate from its relationship with India, a position he said India also endorses.

(PTI) While speaking of recent praise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi by Donald Trump, Tharoor said the US President is conveying a message of “friendship and warmth” towards India. Speaking to PTI news agency, the Congress leader said, “I think Trump is definitely conveying a message of friendship and warmth towards India. You know, the Americans always like to say that our relations with Pakistan have nothing to do with our relations with India. And that’s also our view that there should be no hyphenation.” Tharoor added that India had conveyed to world leaders several years ago that any visit to New Delhi should be strictly bilateral and not combined with a visit to Pakistan.

‘Make her obsessed with you’: Durex Pakistan removes Obsession ad after online backlash | Hollywood News

3 min readMumbaiJun 18, 2026 06:31 PM IST The internet was enraged by an advertisement shared by the official Instagram handle of Durex Pakistan earlier this week. The condom brand shared a still from Curry Barker’s Hollywood horror sleeper hit Obsession with a rather problematic product placement, accompanied by an even more inappropriate tagline. Why was the ad removed? “Make her obsessed with you,” stated the still, in which Michael Johnston’s Bear is sitting in his car in front of the silhouette of his love interest, Nikki, played by Inde Navarrette in the film. Sitting on the dashboard are the One Wish Willow and a condom with Durex’s branding. The caption only made matters worse: “Send this to your Freaky Nikki.” The internet couldn’t wrap its head around the tone-deaf ad, particularly given the film is a chilling cautionary tale on consent. “The One Wish Willow beside the condom is just disgusting. Why are we promoting non-consensual sex? You’re awful,” commented an Instagram user. “This makes me want to throw up so bad,” wrote another. …
