As parties rush to honour Guru Ravidas, revisiting his legacy of Dalit resistance in Punjab and beyond (opens the original)

Why Haryana CM Nayab Saini is BJP’s biggest campaign asset in Punjab (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As Punjab begins its long march to the Assembly elections, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini is becoming an increasingly familiar face across the state. Sporting a saffron turban during his visits, he has emerged as one of the BJP’s most visible campaigners in Punjab.

From Bishnoi associate to FBI target: the rise of Jaggu Bhagwanpuria’s global crime syndicate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For years, Jaggu Bhagwanpuria was just another name in Punjab Police dossiers.
