Quick Glance: India's Modi Attacks Pro-Muslim Rivals in Election Shift
  • Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist party have begun attacking opposition rivals, claiming they favor minority Muslims, in an effort to energize their hardline base after the start of general elections last week.

  • Modi referred to Muslims as 'infiltrators' who have 'more children', linking it to an alleged election plan by the main opposition Congress party to redistribute Hindu wealth among Muslims, a claim denied by the Congress.

  • Modi's government has faced accusations of discrimination against India's 200 million Muslims, but has denied them, emphasizing its work for the welfare of all citizens.

  • Modi initially focused on development, welfare, and national pride in his campaign, but shifted focus back to core voters after the first phase, addressing issues of joblessness and rural distress.

Quick Glance: Discovery of Nearly 300 Bodies in Mass Grave at Gaza Hospital
  • Workers from the Gaza Civil Defense announced the discovery of a mass grave with almost 300 bodies at a hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis in Gaza, subsequent to the withdrawal of Israeli forces earlier this month.

  • Colonel Yamen Abu Suleiman, the Director of Civil Defense in Khan Younis, informed CNN on Monday that 73 bodies were found in the courtyard of the Nasser Medical Complex, bringing the total number to 283.

  • It is believed that some bodies were discovered with bound hands and feet, along with indications of field executions. The specific circumstances of their deaths, whether they were buried alive or executed, remain unclear.

  • The IDF has stated that they transported multiple bodies from Gaza to Israel for DNA testing before repatriating the remains in containers. The region surrounding the Nasser Medical Complex experienced heavy bombardment and conflict during January and February.

‘They built the Ram temple. That is bigger than providing jobs.’
Quick Glance: Unemployment and Hope: A Tale from Jharkhand
  • Ajit Kumar Yadav works as a security guard in Mumbai, separated from his family in Jharkhand in search of work.

  • Despite the harsh working conditions and low income in Mumbai, Yadav values the construction of the Ram temple by the BJP government more than the creation of jobs.

  • Yadav has faced numerous challenges over the years, including job searches in various parts of India and disappointment over unfulfilled development promises by the government.

  • While emphasizing the need for jobs and infrastructure in his own village, Yadav's loyalty to the BJP remains strong due to the Hindutva ideology and the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
