Calm waters: Editorial on Mark Carney’s diplomacy steering India-Canada relations forward - Telegraph India
Mr Carney spoke of Swami Vivekananda — who the Indian prime minister views as an inspiration — and his travels in Canada. To some extent, the credit for this turnaround must go to Mr Carney. Since he became prime minister, Mr Carney has had to battle threats and jibes from the US president, Donald Trump, including a tariff war. Mr Modi and India have faced much of the same with the US although Mr Trump appears to be personally fond of the Indian prime minister. The rules-based order that India and Canada believe in lies in shreds.

Guilty: Editorial on US policy and the escalation of tensions with Iran - Telegraph India
A perusal of the chronology of recent events would establish Mr Trump’s complicity in the aggression. Last year, Mr Trump joined Israel in an offensive against Iran. Mr Trump’s military adventurism against Iran may appear strange for a leader who loves to claim to have stopped numerous conflicts across the world. In fact, in 2016, he was a staunch advocate for affixing limits to the US’s military power — especially in West Asia. The conflict with Iran, Mr Trump would be hoping, would provide the diversion that is necessary to tide over his domestic challenges and arrest the slide in ratings in a year in which the US will go to mid-term polls.

Muslim-majority wards show high 'under adjudication' voter counts in Kolkata SIR rolls - Telegraph India

ADVERTISEMENTCase 3: The Calcutta Port Assembly constituency has 1,79,239 voters in the final SIR rolls. “It is true that wards with a Muslim majority population have an extremely large number of voters under adjudication. The numbers do raise suspicion,” said Debashis Kumar, Trinamool’s south Calcutta district president and MLA from Rashbehari. Calcutta Port is one of the four Assembly constituencies whose SIR processes fell under the district election officer, South Calcutta.

A new chapter: New Delhi needs to reset its ties with Dhaka - Telegraph India
ADVERTISEMENTConditions in Bangladesh are especially of importance for the region that comprises the eight northeastern states. Most people, not just in the Northeast but across India, have the erroneous impression that Bangladesh is inhabited by poor people. During the early period after Hasina’s ouster, there were extensive reports, especially in the Indian media, that Hindu minorities in Bangladesh were suffering extensive harm. However, the extensive attacks on the media, especially the offices of The Daily Star and Prothom Alo in Dhaka, revealed the entrenched prejudices of one particular group. India should go the extra mile, open up routes and trade facilitation, enable people-to-people connectivity and open the visa offices again.

Matter of trust: Misinformation and false narratives fuel mob attacks in India - Telegraph India
On a December night last year, a Bangladeshi Hindu garment worker, Dipu Chandra Das, was killed by a mob in Mymensingh after allegations of blasphemy. Butso was the script: violent content arrives, context collapses, and the country begins to ‘feel’ its way to conclusions. But then the story mutated into something else: an Indian story about trust. Repeated on screens, violent videos frame the Other as a threat, trigger panic, and erode the trust that holds a diverse nation together.

US-Spain tensions flare as Madrid rejects use of bases for Iran strikes - Telegraph India
"The position of the Spanish government regarding the war in the Middle East, the bombing of Iran and the use of our bases has not changed one iota." "And it's my understanding over the past several hours, they've agreed to cooperate with the US military," Leavitt had said. US chastises SpainIt wasn't clear how Trump would have cut off trade with Spain, which is a member of the European Union. He didn't explain further, but said Spain's refusal to allow the US to use its bases in the weekend attack on Iran endangered American lives. Spain's position on the Iran conflict is the latest flare-up in its relationship with the Trump administration.

Nepal holds elections after unrest that ousted PM and killed 77 - Telegraph India
ADVERTISEMENTThe long-festering, deep-seated malaise erupted into street demonstrations last September, triggered by a social media ban, that brought thousands on the streets, leading to clashes and fatalities that forced the resignation of Prime Minister K.P. They include the country's oldest party, the Nepali Congress led by 49-year-old Gagan Thapa, and the Nepali Communist Party (NCP) comprising former Maoist insurgents who joined mainstream politics. "The election is critical to address the aspirations of the youths expressed during the Gen Z protests," said political analyst Puranjan Acharya. "If the newly elected leaders are seen as unfit to do so, there is a risk of further trouble." "Voting is not just about sending someone to victory," Interim Prime Minister Sushila Karki, who took over after Oli, said in a public broadcast this week.

Long night in Patna, decks being cleared for CM Nitish Kumar’s exit
GIVEN Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s failing health, this was on the cards even when he was sworn in as CM last November after a landslide win for the NDA but decks were being cleared for his exit Wednesday. As the Rajya Sabha term for outgoing MPs ends in April, Nitish may well take time to resign as CM. JD (U) minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary said, “There has been talks about Nitish Kumar going to Rajya Sabha. While there is no official confirmation either from BJP or from JD(U), sources said Nitish had “signed the papers” for his Rajya Sabha nomination. While these discussions were on, the BJP central leadership reportedly advised Nitish Kumar to go to Rajya Sabha and nominate a successor of his choice.

Trump convoy plan struggles to restore shipping through Strait of Hormuz - Telegraph India
President Donald Trump’s plan to guarantee the free flow of energy shipments through the Persian Gulf met with tepid enthusiasm, as the shipping industry warned the proposal may struggle to restore confidence after attacks effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said on Tuesday the US would offer insurance backstops and naval escorts for commercial vessels transiting the region, seeking to reassure markets rattled by a spiralling conflict involving Iran. Multiple attacks on vessels in recent days have choked off traffic through the narrow waterway, hurting energy consumers such as India. Insurers have largely withdrawn cover for transiting Hormuz, though policies are available for ships stuck in the Gulf, as long as vessels don’t transit. “The core thing shipowners are thinking about is the real risk of loss,” Karnan Thirupathy, partner at Kennedys Law LLP, told Bloomberg.
