In Depth - June 2025

In dit nummer

Welcome to the June edition of In Depth—a month that marks
a thrilling new chapter for us. We’re delighted to share that In
Depth is now not only online but also available in print—bringing
our thought-provoking journalism right to your doorstep. Because
some stories deserve to be held, pondered, and savored in their
tangible form.
In this issue, our cover story turns a discerning eye toward
the recent India-Pakistan conflict, tracing the uneasy path to a
ceasefire. We unravel the high-stakes diplomacy that unfolded,
analyzing the role played by the United States and President
Trump—a role that, some argue, failed to acknowledge India’s
enduring struggle against cross-border terrorism. Instead, the
narrative too often cast India as a bystander in its own story,
overshadowing the geopolitical complexity that defines its
regional position.
Alongside this, we invite you into a fascinating exploration
that begins with a seemingly innocuous fashion trend but
reveals a deep-rooted history of colonialism, capitalism, and
the unrelenting appropriation of South Asian culture without
acknowledgment. It’s a reminder that conflict takes many forms,
manifesting not just in military standoffs but in the ways cultural
identities are borrowed, repackaged, and sold back without credit
or context.
As you turn these pages, let us remember: war rarely yields
victors—only victims. It leaves behind a legacy of loss,
dislocation, and despair. Yet, we must never waver in confronting
terrorism, for ensuring the safety and dignity of our people is
both a right and a responsibility.
Here’s to seeking truth, celebrating nuance, and building a world
where peace is not just a dream, but a daily commitment.
