"India's Shifting Political Landscape: From Babri Mosque to Modi's Vision"

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi presided over the inauguration of the Ram Mandir, a new temple built on the site of an ancient mosque torn down by a Hindu mob in 1992, marking a significant event for many Hindus but also symbolizing Modi's vision for India's future. Since coming to power in 2014, Modi has worked to replace India's secular democracy with a Hindu sectarian state, revoking autonomy in Jammu and Kashmir, implementing biased citizenship and immigration rules, and suppressing critical speech. The construction of the temple is a culmination of this agenda, reflecting the erosion of Indian democracy and the rise of Hindu nationalism under Modi's leadership.

Rahul Gandhi's Controversial Remarks and Responses.

The BJP has criticized Rahul Gandhi over a video in which senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh is seen correcting him during a press conference. Gandhi had said "Unfortunately, I am a Member of Parliament," to which Ramesh advised him that his remarks could be turned into a "joke." Gandhi then corrected himself, saying "See, I want to make it clear, unfortunately for you, I am a Member of Parliament." The BJP has demanded an apology from Gandhi over his comments in London, where he said Indian democracy is under pressure and opposition voices are being stifled.
