Rajesh Sawhney, Founder of GSF Accelerator and Harvard alumnus, has issued a stark warning to Indian parents about the vanishing job opportunities for international students in the US, Canada, and UK. Amid rising immigration restrictions and declining tech jobs, he says the old path from IIT to a $200K job abroad is no longer viable. Sharing his views on X, he urged parents to reconsider investing crores in foreign education, claiming the “honeymoon is over.” The comments triggered widespread debate about jobs, immigration, and the value of foreign degrees today.

In a historic deep-strike operation dubbed ‘Operation Spider’s Web’, Ukraine unleashed a covert FPV drone swarm targeting five Russian airbases deep inside enemy territory. Planned for over 18 months, drones were hidden inside wooden cabins, smuggled across borders, and launched remotely in broad daylight. With over 41 strategic bombers destroyed, including rare Tu-22M3 and Tu-95 aircraft, analysts are calling this Russia’s ‘Trojan Horse’ moment. Ukraine claims $7 billion in damage, with footage revealing dramatic explosions. The attack marks a new era in drone warfare, reshaping future combat strategies.
