‘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.

Rishi Sunak 'rejects post-Brexit youth mobility scheme'
Quick Glance: EU Proposes Mobility Expansion for UK and EU Youth
  • The European Commission has proposed opening negotiations with the UK to allow mobility for millions of 18- to 30-year-olds before Brexit.

  • Under the planned agreement, EU and UK citizens aged between 18 and 30 could have the opportunity to stay in the destination country for an extended period.

  • The decision by the commission, which was previously strongly against concessions to the UK, is seen as a breakthrough in UK-EU relations.

  • If approved, millions of young people could come to the UK to fill the gap left by Brexit in the hospitality sector and at universities.

Quick Glance: Can the BJP Make Inroads in the Southern Indian States of Tamil Nadu and Kerala?
  • The BJP may increase its vote share in these states, but votes may not translate into seats in parliament.

  • The BJP has had a poor electoral track record in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Despite aggressively wooing Tamil voters, polls suggest that the party may not win seats in the parliaments of these states.

  • In Tamil Nadu, the BJP is focusing on promoting Modi and a Tamil leader to attract young voters. In Kerala, the party is trying to court the support of the Christian community and showcase Modi's development strategy.

  • Despite intense campaigning in both states, it is expected that the DMK-Congress alliance will sweep all 39 seats in Tamil Nadu and the Congress-led UDF will secure 17 out of 20 seats in Kerala. The BJP may only see an increase in its vote share without winning any seats.

Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire
  • The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

  • Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

  • Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

  • It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.
