The year 2025 was marked by events that kept India and the world on edge, with geopolitical shifts, conflicts, and climate events unfolding almost every day.
The year opened with stampedes, accidents, and crimes that raised questions about public safety. Natural disasters, terror attacks, and wars between nations kept governments, emergency response systems, and global diplomacy in focus.
Politics and diplomacy remained central to the global and domestic narrative. Elections produced decisive mandates and surprise outcomes. International relations saw a period of strain and reset, with tariffs, wars, suspended treaties, and high-level summits reshaping ties between nations.
Amid all the noise, 2025 also recorded a few moments of achievement. India marked key milestones in space exploration, infrastructure, and sports, while Parliament and the Union Cabinet pushed through significant reforms.
