To address the issue of voter apathy in urban areas, migrants’ inability to travel to vote, and low turnout at remote polling booths, the Election Commission has decided to devise a new plan that may involve remote voting among other measures. What are the issues the EC is facing regarding low voting? The EC has noted migrants’ inability to travel back to their place of registration from cities where they are staying for education, employment and other purposes. The absence of native voters leads to low turnout during elections. The election body has also observed that people working with government, private sector offices tend to avail special casual leave on polling day but don’t go out to vote. According to The Indian Express, which cites EC data, voter apathy is acute in urban areas despite high awareness about voting rights. As per the Commission, in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, only 67.40 per cent of the registered voters cast their vote. Rural and suburban constituencies ...

It has punctured holes in the Narendra Modi government’s proclamations of the improved security scenario in Kashmir, especially concerning the minorities.

The Modi government has emphasised ‘normalcy’ in Kashmir through burgeoning tourism and trumpeted ‘victory’ over  jihad  through the killing of terrorists and shortening their life span. Around 700,000 tourist bookings in Kashmir in the first five months of 2022, as per data from the J&K Tourism Department, have supported the notion that everything is in order. However, the recent minority killings in Kashmir have explicitly shown the face of Islamist terrorism. Targeted killings of minorities...
