As a people's uprising in Dhaka deposed “dictatorial” Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, a pall of gloom has descended over Delhi. The commentariat lapsed into its initial hysterical doom-mourning, then recovering to reprimand Hasina’s hubris-infested authoritarianism that over-bloated the 1971 liberation machinery to crush critics and opponents alike. The 1971 anti-Pakistan and anti-Bangladesh Nationalist Party-Jamaat-e-Islami narrative is more an Indian spun-web than a Bangladeshi nationalist theme.

Assam seems to be the most active laboratory of BJP’s “reformative and religiously divisive politics.” This is the province where the notorious Citizenship Amendment Act came into its “brutal practice” and hundreds of thousands of Muslims were thrown into camps, and their fate handed over to the Foreigners’ Tribunal. Later, Home Minister Amit Shah pompously declared that each and every “infiltrator” (Muslims) would be thrown out of India by 2024.

They are the brightest hue of the diversity that defines the country as a mosaic of different communities. Their experience as citizens, however has not been quite fructuous.

Dr. Ilhan Niaz is a superbly impressive historian of Pakistan. His work is more convincing than any other historian our society has produced. Another name that comes to mind is Dr. Tariq Rehman—aloso an impressive Pakistani historian. I often wonder if a society can nurture people like Dr. Niaz and Dr. Rehman, how can it be described as decadent and depraved, as some moralists dub Pakistan?

On June 24, the 18th Lok Sabha—the newly elected body of the Indian Parliament—convened for its maiden session. With 52% of members comprising new faces and the opposition 'INDIA' alliance buoyed by its strong performance in the polls, the overall atmosphere was empowering and full of energy. The parliament building remained the same, nor were the benches new either, but the sight of a balanced house, with the treasury and opposition benches equally occupied, was a refreshing change.

The 2024 Indian general election witnessed a staggering 642 million citizens casting their ballots, a testament to the country's thriving democratic process. The election, praised for its integrity and fairness, underscored the vibrancy of India's democracy. Perhaps the most important takeaway from the entire exercise is that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's re-election has made him only the second Indian leader since independence to secure a third term, following Jawaharlal Nehru.
