The contours of the overall elections strategy of the BJP, previews in all the states going to the polls in this semi-final for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the dissolution of the Assembly in Jammu & Kashmir, a terror attack in Amritsar/Punjab and reflections by India’s leading historian are the major highlights in the domestic part of the Dossier this month. The dossier also focuses on India’s “non official” participation in Russia-led talks with Taliban and Modi’s participation in the tri summits in Singapore. In the Dossier’s South Asia part, Maldives witnesses the peaceful handing over of power to the new incumbent while the inauguration of the Kartarpur Corridor appears to be the thaw in Indo-Pakistan relations.
