Nostradamus, the renowned French astrologer and seer, has made intriguing predictions about global affairs and India's future for the year 2025.

Looking ahead to a year of promise

The 16th-century seer has been credited with predicting significant events that have shaped our world, from the Covid-19 pandemic to the moon landing. Nostradamus predicted that the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war may end in 2025. Both nations would experience severe floods and volcanic eruptions due to climate change.

According to the New York Post, Turkey and France may significantly facilitate the peace process between Ukraine and Russia. He also foretold an 'ancient plague' in England in 2025, which could be a reference to a resurgence of a historical disease.

Nostradamus had also predicted that 2025 might witness a giant asteroid hitting the Earth or coming threateningly close to it. According to a report by the New York Post, Nostradamus wrote, "From the cosmos, a fireball will rise, A harbinger of fate." If this prediction were to come true, it could have significant implications.

As we look at the crystal ball for India's future, the year begins with the 2025 Republic Day parade. The theme is 'Swarnim Bharat: Virasat aur Vikas'. The chief guest is yet to be finalised.

In 2025, India is set to experience rapid economic growth, persistent social challenges, and technological innovation. The government's significant strides in technology education and renewable energy, coupled with the potential for economic development, offer a hopeful outlook for India's future prosperity.
