Monsoon Covers Entire India: Early Arrival Brings Relief and Risks

On June 29, 2025, the southwest monsoon officially covered the entire country—nine days ahead of schedule, marking one of the fastest advances since 1960. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) confirmed its progression into the remaining parts of Rajasthan, Haryana, West Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi.

Agricultural Boost and Economic Implications

This early onset is expected to benefit kharif crop sowing, especially in central and northwest India, which have already received 24% to 37% excess rainfall compared to normal levels. With over 138 lakh hectares already under cultivation, farmers are optimistic about a strong start to the season.

Extreme Weather and Safety Concerns

However, the monsoon’s rapid advance has also triggered severe weather events. A cloudburst in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, led to two deaths and seven missing persons, prompting authorities to halt the Char Dham Yatra temporarily. Himachal Pradesh has reported 20 rain-related fatalities since June 20, with landslides and flash floods disrupting transport and daily life.

Looking Ahead

The IMD has issued red alerts for heavy rainfall across multiple states, including Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Jharkhand, through July 1. While the rains bring much-needed relief from heat and support agriculture, they also demand heightened vigilance in vulnerable regions.

Parag Jain Appointed New RAW Chief

On July 1, 2025, Parag Jain, a 1989-batch IPS officer from Punjab cadre, took charge as the new Secretary of RAW (Research and Analysis Wing), India’s external intelligence agency. His appointment reflects a strategic leadership shift in India’s intelligence setup amid growing regional and global security concerns.

Jain is known for blending HUMINT (human intelligence) and TECHINT (technical intelligence) in critical operations such as the Balakot airstrike, abrogation of Article 370, and the high-precision Operation Sindoor targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK.

With past roles in J&K and Punjab, and international experience in Canada and Sri Lanka (countering the Khalistan network), Jain brings operational depth to his new role. His two-year fixed term begins as India faces threats like cross-border terrorism, hybrid warfare, and China-Pakistan coordination.

India Rejects Court of Arbitration’s Supplemental Award on Indus Waters Treaty

On June 27, 2025, India categorically rejected a “supplemental award” issued by a Court of Arbitration constituted under the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) of 1960. The award pertained to the Kishenganga and Ratle hydroelectric projects in Jammu & Kashmir.

India’s Position

  • The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) declared the Court of Arbitration as illegally constituted, stating it was a serious breach of the IWT.
  • India emphasized it has never recognized the legal validity of this court, calling the proceedings a “charade at Pakistan’s behest”.
  • The MEA reiterated that any decisions or awards by this body are “illegal and per se void”.

Treaty in Abeyance

  • Following the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, India placed the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, citing Pakistan’s continued support for cross-border terrorism.
  • India asserted that until Pakistan credibly and irrevocably abjures terrorism, it is no longer bound by the treaty’s obligations.

Background

  • The dispute stems from Pakistan’s objections to the design of the Kishenganga (on Jhelum tributary) and Ratle (on Chenab) projects.
  • In 2016, Pakistan moved the World Bank to establish a Court of Arbitration, while India preferred resolution through a neutral expert, as per treaty provisions.
  • Despite India’s objections, the World Bank appointed both a neutral expert and a Court of Arbitration in October 2022, leading to parallel proceedings.

Bilateral Engagements

  • Singh held constructive talks with Chinese Defence Minister Dong Jun, stressing the need to avoid new complications in India-China relations.
  • He also met with counterparts from Russia and Belarus, but no bilateral talks were held with Pakistan or Iran.

“The Emergency Diaries – Years that Forged a Leader” Launched: Focus on Modi’s Resistance to Emergency

On 25 June 2025, Union Home Minister Amit Shah released the book “The Emergency Diaries – Years that Forged a Leader”, which explores Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s role during the Emergency as a young RSS Pracharak.

The book is divided into five chapters and examines how the 1975–77 Emergency shaped Modi’s understanding of state power, political mobilization, and the importance of a healthy opposition.

It presents the Emergency as a critical turning point in India’s democratic journey, highlighting the threat to civil liberties and institutional independence under a centralized and dynastic rule.

The book quotes Modi’s reflections, emphasizing:

  • The spirit of democracy among Indians
  • The long struggle of pro-democracy activists during the Emergency
  • The importance of preserving constitutional rights and democratic values

It concludes that remembering the Emergency is essential as a reminder of the need to safeguard democracy and resist any erosion of constitutional freedoms.

Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla Becomes First Indian to Visit ISS on Axiom-4 Mission

The Axiom-4 (Ax-4) mission, carrying Indian astronaut Group Captain Shubhanshu Shukla, is scheduled to dock with the International Space Station (ISS) today at 4:30 PM IST, according to ISRO.

With this mission, Shukla becomes the first Indian to visit NASA’s orbiting laboratory ISS and the second Indian in history to travel to space, following Rakesh Sharma who flew in 1984 aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft.

The Axiom-4 crew launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 12:01 PM IST on 25 June 2025, and includes:

  • Shubhanshu Shukla (India)
  • Peggy Whitson (USA, former NASA astronaut)
  • Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski (Poland)
  • Tibor Kapu (Hungary)

Shukla, born on 10 October 1985 in Lucknow, joined the Indian Air Force in 2006 as a fighter pilot and has over 2,000 hours of flying experience on aircraft such as MiGs, Sukhois, Dorniers, Jaguars, and Hawks.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the mission, saying Shukla carries the hopes of 1.4 billion Indians. In Lucknow, his parents watched the launch with local students amid celebrations.

While on the two-week mission aboard the ISS, the Ax-4 crew will conduct 60 scientific experiments, including seven from India. Key experiments by ISRO include studying the effects of microgravity on biology and six varieties of crop seeds.

Shukla’s flight marks India’s return to space after 41 years, and highlights the growing international collaboration in human spaceflight.
