This issue deals with the Pulwama terrorist attack in Kashmir along with some self-critical Indian assessments. The role of opposition parties and regional parties is analysed for the 2019 General Elections in India and also the return of Sheila Dixit to Delhi politics. This issue also discusses the plight of Dalits in Karnataka. Economic developments in India focus on women’s labour participation. The issue covers the foreign engagement of India with Argentina, Saudi Arabia and South Korea, which are more economic than strategic. Finally discussions by experts on India and Pakistan during Prof. Happymon Jacob’s book presentation are covered here, along with the issue of recent retaliations between India and Pakistan.
