India’s elections, winding over the course of six weeks, came to an end on June 4 when the votes were finally tallied. The elections, held in seven phases, began on April 19 with the final phase on June 1. The size of the electorate and the need to provide security for the process are the main reasons Indian elections are as long as they are. This has been a feature of India’s national elections for quite some time.

A few days ago, an Indian news agency, Press Trust of India (PTI), reported that Indian security agencies had intercepted a ship that was bound for Karachi from China at Mumbai’s Nhava Sheva Port. The ship was stopped because it was suspected to be carrying a “dual-use consignment” that could find its way into Pakistan’s nuclear and ballistic missile program.
