As India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi gears up for the upcoming parliamentary elections to seek his third term, he will base his electoral campaign on highlighting the various ways in which he has brought about significant changes and development in India over the past ten years. India’s electoral debate rarely includes discussions on foreign policy, but Narendra Modi has been a unique exception to this trend.

AISA's Dhananjay, the first dalit student leader getting elected as president of the JNU Students Union after 27 years, certainly merits exultation by the left anti-rightist forces. But more than this, it is also a matter of circumspection for the traditional left parties and their leaders for abdicating their responsibility and in the process allowing the political structure to become repressive for the common people.

Gurugram: Nicolas Colsaerts, who called the DLF Golf and Country Club a tough course, got down to business as the Hero Pro-Am ahead of the Hero Indian Open was conducted Wednesday morning.

Having arrested Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal in an excise case on March 21, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has now begun raids at Punjab Excise and Taxation Commissioner on March 27. The latest ED action is largely perceived as political in the state as it has come only after the BJP state chief Sunil Kumar Jakhar’s demand for a probe into Punjab’s excise policy as well. Similar to the action in Delhi, Punjab’s excise policy has been under ED’s scanner for quite some time now, but the actions being taken by Modi government just before the Lok Sabha election have made people to believe it political and AAP its victim. The more AAP governments are targeted, the stronger they are becoming with public sympathy.

The big noise about electoral bonds will in all probability end up in a whimper like the investigations into the 2G spectrum scam, both of which can be compared in terms of scale and the extent of mischief. Both scams are likely to remain a dark symphony of secrecy, favours, and hidden agendas in contemporary Indian politics.

Acting US Deputy Ambassador Gloria Berbena was at the receiving end of New Delhi’s ire after the US State Department spoke its mind on the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

But, if Kejriwal is granted bail by the Delhi High Court, will it be termed "foreign interference in India's internal affairs"?
