Enrollment: Digital Identity, Surveillance, and the Erosion of Choice

Image
The year 2026 marked a decisive turning point in global governance when India, the European Union, and the United States jointly launched the Global Digital Identity Accord (GDIA) — an ambitious initiative marketed as “One Login for Humanity.” Built on the promise of seamless access to welfare, education, healthcare, and financial systems, the GDIA aimed to unify fragmented databases into one universal identity layer. Yet, beneath the sleek language of technological progress lay profound ethical concerns. The Enrollment reveals the human tension between a digital utopia envisioned by global institutions and the lived reality of individuals forced into systems they never chose. Through the experience of Mira Das, an ordinary teacher who refuses the new identity infrastructure, the story becomes a lens to examine the rise of the total surveillance grid and the fading meaning of consent in an algorithmic world. 1.

Ghost in the Eastern Skies – A Testament to Strategic Stealth and Precision

Image
In the ever-evolving theatre of 21st-century warfare, dominance is not always dictated by who fires first—but by who remains unseen. As the Indo-Pacific becomes a crucible of great power rivalry, particularly between the United States and China, the strategic utility of stealth, stand-off capability, and electronic warfare has become paramount. Nowhere is this more evident than in the combat simulation titled “Ghost in the Eastern Skies,” a meticulously orchestrated strike mission involving the U.S. Air Force’s B-2 Spirit stealth bomber. Designed to test deep-penetration strike capabilities against China’s fortified military infrastructure in a high-threat A2/AD environment, this simulation exemplifies the enduring relevance of stealth bombers in the age of advanced radar, hypersonics, and contested airspace. The operation offers not just a narrative of tactical excellence, but a reflection of evolving strategic doctrine in an increasingly multipolar world. 1. Shadow Confli...

Shadows Over the Dragon’s Teeth: A Strategic Simulation of the B-2 Spirit in Contested Airspace

Image
As great power competition intensifies in the Indo-Pacific, military simulations have become essential tools for understanding strategic capability and deterrence dynamics. The United States, facing an increasingly assertive China, continues to refine its doctrine for deep-penetration, low-observable precision strike missions. Among its most formidable assets is the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, a stealth bomber designed to infiltrate advanced enemy defenses and deliver devastating stand-off or direct strikes on critical infrastructure. The simulation known as “Shadows Over the Dragon’s Teeth” presents a vivid scenario where U.S. B-2 bombers conduct a precision strike against fortified Chinese positions in the South China Sea. Using real-world tactics, integrated sensor data, and modern weapons systems, this exercise reflects not only technical feasibility but also the evolving strategic doctrine required to maintain air superiority in a highly contested environment. 1.
