  4. The enduring personality cult of Narendra Modi

    The formula for the Indian prime minister’s brand of populism was developed in Gujarat, a “laboratory for Hindu nationalism”. (An excerpt from 'Gujarat Under Modi: Laboratory of Today’s India' by Christophe Jaffrelot (Hurst Publishers, February 2024).

  5. Narendra Modi: A Pracharak Morphed into a Politician?

    Modi has always claimed that he was “an apolitical CM”. This claim extends back to his first faltering steps in the public arena, which, undeniably, have endowed him with a unique pedigree. But this claim needs to be scrutinised. Extract from Christophe Jaffrelot's 'Gujarat Under Modi: Laboratory of Today’s India', to be published on 15 February 2024.

  7. Supreme Court Dismisses Bilkis Bano Case Convicts' Plea To Extend Time To Surrender Before Jail Authorities

    The Court said that the reasons cited by the convicts seeking extension of time to surrender lacked merits. The convicts will have to surrender before the jail authorities by January 21, the original deadline set by the Court as per its January 8 judgment which set aside their premature release.

  8. Six Things: Bilkis Bano Convicts Being Sent Back to Prison Is a Verdict on Much More

    The order draws into focus the centre’s complicity, Modi’s silence on this and reminds India of why cases were shifted out of Gujarat. BJP MLA’s 'sanskari Brahmin' remarks for convicts meets reality and shows that women need to push for justice, the state won’t.

  9. PM taught rioters such a lesson in 2002 that no one dares to cause riots in Gujarat, says Amit Shah

  10. Delhi High Court issues fresh notice to BBC over defamatory documentary on Modi

    The Delhi High Court on Monday issued fresh notice to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on a plea by an NGO seeking damages, claiming its documentary "India: The Modi Question" casts a slur on the country's reputation and makes false and defamatory imputations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Indian judiciary.

  11. Vajpayee Govt Didn't Object to UK Report That 2002 Riots Were 'Pre-Planned', Cops 'Told Not to Act'

    The minutes of an April 16, 2002 phone call between former external affairs minister Jaswant Singh and his UK counterpart reveal the BJP-led government only protested the leak of the report and its claimed death toll. No criticism was made of the UK report's critical observations about the role played by the Gujarat police and by political organisations connected to Modi in the anti-Muslim violence.

  12. Bilkis Bano case: Supreme Court raps Gujarat govt over ‘selective’ remission to accused
