In 2019, famed journalist and writer Aatish Taseer was thrown out of India. Soon after he wrote a cover article for Time calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi the country's “divider in chief,” New Delhi decided to revoke his residency. That sent Aatish on a journey across the world–to places like Turkey, Spain, Mexico and Sri Lanka–to explore identity, both his own and of different nations. The result is his latest book, A Return to Self: Excursions in Exile (Catapult: 2025). Aatish is the author of the memoir Stranger to History: A Son's Journey Through Islamic Lands (Canongate: 2009) and the acclaimed novels The Way Things Were (Pan Macmillan: 2014), a finalist for the 2016 Jan Michalski Prize, The Temple-Goers (Viking: 2010), short-listed for the Costa First Novel Award, and Noon (Farrar, Straus and Giroux: 2011); and the memoir and travelog The Twice-Born (Hurst: 2019).

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Operation Sindoor: Modi's No-Holds-Barred Warning to Pakistan In a fiery 97-minute address in Parliament, PM Narendra Modi revealed India's retaliatory strikes after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 civilians. “In 22 minutes, we responded to April 22,” he said, confirming that India bombed nine terror camps in PoK and Pakistan, followed by air raids on 13 military bases. Modi claimed Pakistan's nuclear threats were ignored and over 1,000 missiles and drones fired on May 9 were neutralized by Indian air defence. “No one in the world asked us to stop,” he stressed, countering opposition allegations of U.S. pressure. “Operation Sindoor is still on,” he warned, promising continued force against terrorism and accusing the Congress of echoing Pakistan's narrative. Trump's Trade Threat: 25% Tariffs on India? President Trump has warned that India could face tariffs up to 25% on its exports to the U.S. “India's been a good friend, but they charge more tariffs than almost any other country,” he said aboard Air Force One. The threat comes as a temporary tariff truce is set to expire on August 1, with no deal yet in place between the two nations. While countries like the UK, EU, and Japan have sealed trade pacts with the U.S., India has held back on fresh concessions. Instead, it will resume comprehensive trade talks mid-August. U.S. officials say India must open its markets further or risk losing access. Mayday at 5,000 Feet: United Airlines 787 Scare On July 25, United Airlines flight UA108 to Munich suffered a left engine failure shortly after take-off from Washington Dulles Airport. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner issued a Mayday alert at 5,000 feet and circled for 2 hours and 38 minutes to safely dump fuel before returning to Dulles. All passengers were safe. The incident came just a month after the Air India Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad that killed 260 people. Days earlier, an American Airlines 737 MAX 8 also faced an emergency in Denver due to cabin smoke and a tyre-related landing gear issue. Multiple incidents now put Boeing's aircraft safety back in the spotlight. Air India Audit Uncovers 100 Safety Violations Just weeks after the fatal Flight 171 crash, the DGCA flagged 100 safety-related lapses at Air India following a detailed July audit. Among them: pilot fatigue breaches, simulator shortcomings, and inadequate route checks for high-risk airports. One major violation involved a Milan–Delhi 787 flight exceeding duty hours by over 2 hours. Auditors also found flights operating with insufficient crew and no chief pilots for the A320 and A350 fleets—signaling poor oversight. Air India has until July 30 to explain its corrective actions. With multiple show-cause notices issued, the airline's post-Tata revival now faces a credibility test amid mounting passenger concerns. Rupee Nears 87 as Dollar Demand, Trade Uncertainty Weigh The Indian rupee slid to 86.9150 per dollar, its lowest since March, before closing at 86.8150. It's now one of Asia's worst-performing currencies this year—down over 1%, alongside the Indonesian rupiah. Traders blame rising dollar demand from importers, weak foreign portfolio flows, and uncertainty around U.S.-India trade talks. Exporters who stepped in at 86.50 may only return near 87.10 levels. RBI is expected to hold rates steady at its upcoming policy meet, monitoring transmission of past measures. Globally, the dollar index neared 99 after a pro-U.S. EU trade deal. Investors now await the Fed's decision and Powell's tone for rate-cut cues. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

HOW DOES PM MODI'S MALDIVES VISIT SIGNAL A RESET IN TIES BETWEEN TWO NATIONS?
As Modi becomes India's second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Mrs Gandhi across four key dimensions.

Dans le supplément de ce samedi, direction l'Inde pour suivre la Kumbh Mela, pèlerinage qui pourrait être le plus grand rassemblement religieux de l'humanité, entre démesure et défi organisationnel pour son plus fervent promoteur, Narendra Modi. Puis, en deuxième partie, nous allons au Brésil voguer avec les derniers transporteurs de marchandises en voiliers traditionnels, moyen de transport qui tend à disparaître... (Rediffusion) La Kumbh Mela, grand-messe mystique, grands jeux politiques C'est un festival attendu depuis 144 ans. Ce sont les astres qui définissent le calendrier. Nous sommes en Inde et, depuis le 13 janvier, la Maha Kumbh Mela se poursuit sur les berges du Gange. Pour les fidèles hindous, durant 45 jours, se baigner dans le fleuve sacré, c'est l'assurance de sortir du cycle maudit des réincarnations. Il s'agirait du plus grand rassemblement de l'humanité. En tout cas, si on en croit Narendra Modi qui, depuis 2014, se pose en grand promoteur de l'hindouisme. Le Premier ministre indien a voulu en faire le plus démesuré, mais également le plus propre et le plus technologique des pèlerinages. Il y a la foi… mais cette Kumbh Mela, c'est aussi une gigantesque vitrine idéologique. ► « La Kumbh Mela, grand-messe mystique, grands jeux politiques », un Grand Reportage de Côme Bastin. Brésil : le transport de marchandises en voilier traditionnel, à bout de souffle Ils sont les derniers survivants d'une époque révolue. Dans la baie de Salvador de Bahia au Brésil, les Saveiros voguent toujours. Mais ils sont les derniers voiliers traditionnels en bois, à acheminer des matériaux de construction vers des rives difficilement accessibles. Ils ne sont plus qu'une dizaine à convoyer pierres, graviers et sable, à la force du vent. Ils étaient plus d'une centaine, il y a environ 60 ans, approvisionnant Salvador, la capitale régionale en produits agricoles. Routes et ponts ont eu raison de ce trafic. Et, au désintérêt général, s'ajoute l'impossibilité pour les charpentiers de marine de trouver les arbres nécessaires à l'entretien des bateaux. ► « Brésil : le transport de marchandises en voilier traditionnel, à bout de souffle », un Grand Reportage de Quentin Bleuzen.

VOV1 - Thủ tướng Ấn Độ Narendra Modi đang có chuyến công du kéo dài 4 ngày tới Vương quốc Anh và Maldives.
Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Whisky, Work Visas & Win-Win Trade After three years of negotiation, India and the UK have inked a landmark Free Trade Agreement, boosting bilateral trade by an estimated $34 billion annually. Signed during PM Modi's London visit, the deal grants duty-free access to 99% of Indian exports, benefiting key sectors like textiles, pharma, and jewellery. Indian consumers gain too—expect cheaper British cars, scotch, chocolates, soft drinks, and medical devices. Beyond goods, the deal opens 35 UK service sectors to Indian professionals for up to 24 months, eliminates social security payments for 3 years, and skips the UK's Economic Needs Test in 36 categories. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal hailed it as a $23 billion opportunity for India's labour-intensive sectors, and a step toward inclusive growth. From ‘India Out' to ‘India's In' PM Modi landed in Malé for the second leg of his two-nation tour, becoming the chief guest at the Maldives' 60th Independence Day celebrations. This marks a diplomatic reset with President Mohamed Muizzu, whose early tenure saw a tilt towards China and ‘India Out' rhetoric. Key agenda items: maritime security, trade, and inaugurating India-funded infrastructure projects. Several MoUs will be signed, reinforcing the India-Maldives Joint Vision. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri called it a “significant reset”—a move aimed at rebalancing regional influence. Rubio to Macron: You're Helping Hamas US Secretary of State Marco Rubio lashed out at France for its decision to recognize Palestine at the UN. Calling it “reckless” and “a slap in the face to the victims of October 7,” Rubio claimed the move boosts Hamas propaganda and damages peace efforts. France joins a growing bloc of EU nations supporting Palestinian statehood, while the US maintains that only direct Israel-Palestine talks can lead to a viable two-state solution. The diplomatic divide in the West over Gaza is getting sharper—and more public. Missiles, Fighter Jets & A UN Cry for Help A dangerous escalation between Thailand and Cambodia has left nine civilians dead after Cambodia reportedly launched rocket attacks into Thai territory. In response, Thailand deployed six F-16s, with at least one conducting airstrikes inside Cambodia. Both sides are now trading barbs and expelling diplomats. Cambodia is calling for an emergency UN Security Council meeting, while China has urged restraint. Thailand has sealed borders, begun civilian evacuations, and accused Cambodia of using human shields and targeting hospitals. The baht slipped 0.3% amid rising market anxiety. This conflict could spiral fast. MSME Stress Clouds ₹4,765 Cr Profit Bajaj Finance posted a solid 22% jump in Q1 profit to ₹4,765 crore, but beneath the numbers is a growing concern: stress in unsecured MSME loans. Vice Chairman Rajeev Jain flagged over-leverage as a “single univariate pain point.” Loan loss provisions rose 26%, and restructured loans surged to ₹219 crore—five times the usual. 13 out of 17 MSME sectors are slowing or contracting, with even doctors under strain. Gross NPAs rose to 1.03% (from 0.86% last year), and credit costs may hover near 2% for FY26. While AUM may grow 15%, disbursements will likely remain flat or decline. Recovery, Jain warned, may take “another quarter or more.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The UK has finally signed a free-trade deal with India after three-and-a-half years of negotiation. The agreement will open up trade for cars, whisky, clothing and food products, with ministers claiming it will boost the British economy by £4.8 billion. For Keir Starmer, it offers much-needed economic and political good news. For Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, it shows that the £3 trillion Indian economy is willing to shake off its protectionist tradition and open up to international investors.Lucy Dunn discusses with James Heale and Michael Simmons.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Modi's London Mission: Trade Meets Royalty It was a warm welcome from the Indian diaspora—and a pivotal handshake in British countryside diplomacy. PM Narendra Modi landed in London for a two-day visit focused on formalizing the India-UK Free Trade Agreement, a deal three years in the making. Hosted by newly elected UK PM Keir Starmer at Chequers, the two leaders are expected to finalize an FTA that could eliminate tariffs on 99% of Indian exports, while opening India to more British whisky, cars, and luxury goods. Commerce ministers Piyush Goyal and Jonathan Reynolds are likely to sign the deal in their presence. With $55 billion in bilateral trade and nearly 1,000 Indian companies in the UK, the partnership runs deep. India is also a major investor, with $20 billion in British ventures. Later, Modi is set to meet King Charles III, blending hard talks with soft diplomacy. Next stop: the Maldives, in a potential diplomatic reset after recent strain. Mayday in Ahmedabad: IndiGo's Engine Scare It was a nerve-wracking moment on the tarmac. IndiGo flight 6E 7966, heading from Ahmedabad to Diu, aborted takeoff after one engine caught fire during its takeoff roll on July 23. The ATR-76 aircraft carried 60 passengers. Pilots issued a “Mayday” and returned to the bay safely. All passengers were evacuated without injury. IndiGo cited a technical snag and promised thorough checks. This scare comes just a day after another IndiGo flight from Goa to Indore also reported a technical fault before landing. No casualties were reported, but the back-to-back incidents have raised concerns over aircraft maintenance during India's busy monsoon season. Visa Thaw: India Reopens Doors to Chinese Tourists After four tense years post-Galwan, India has officially resumed tourist visas for Chinese nationals, in what's being seen as a significant diplomatic thaw. The announcement was made quietly via WeChat by the Indian Embassy in Beijing. Chinese travelers can now begin applying online starting July 24. This follows the recent restart of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra and months of border de-escalation, including the Modi-Xi meeting in Kazan and a flurry of bilateral talks. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar recently met his counterpart Wang Yi, urging the end of restrictive trade measures like China's rare earth export curbs—key for India's EV and agri sectors. From 200,000 visas in 2019 to just 2,000 last year, this move aims to reboot people-to-people ties. Trump Sends More Weapons to Ukraine—$322M Worth Amid escalating Russian attacks, the U.S. has cleared a $322 million arms package for Ukraine. The deal includes $150 million for U.S. armored vehicle support and $172 million for surface-to-air missile systems. The announcement comes just weeks after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth paused other aid to assess U.S. stockpiles—surprising the White House. President Donald Trump, under rising pressure from isolationists, has since pivoted, declaring: “They have to be able to defend themselves.” Trump's new workaround? Let European allies buy U.S. arms and transfer them to Kyiv. Since 2022, the U.S. has sent over $67 billion in military support. Still, NATO countries in Eastern Europe are reluctant to part with their own advanced defense systems, despite mounting urgency. Chanda Kochhar Found Guilty in ₹64 Cr Bribery Case A stunning fall for one of India's most celebrated bankers. Former ICICI Bank CEO Chanda Kochhar has been found guilty of accepting a ₹64 crore bribe in return for sanctioning a ₹300 crore loan to Videocon Group. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. VP Dhankhar Resigns, Citing Health In a surprising political turn, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar resigned from office on Monday, citing medical reasons and the need to prioritize health. The resignation—submitted under Article 67(a)—was effective immediately. In an emotional letter to President Droupadi Murmu, Dhankhar expressed gratitude for her support and recalled their “wonderful working relationship.” He also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Members of Parliament, and the Council of Ministers, calling his tenure “a privilege” during a transformative phase of India's rise. Known for his sharp legal acumen and parliamentary presence, Dhankhar's exit comes at a politically sensitive time, raising immediate questions over his successor. Turbulent Monday for Indian Aviation Monday saw a series of aviation scares across India. IndiGo flight 6E 813 from Goa to Indore reported a technical snag just before landing, but landed safely with all 140 passengers. At Mumbai airport, an Air India flight from Kochi veered off the runway in heavy rain, bursting three tyres and possibly damaging an engine. In Delhi, another Air India flight aborted take-off due to a technical glitch, leaving 160 passengers grounded. All incidents ended safely, but they've reignited concerns around monsoon preparedness, runway resilience, and aircraft reliability amid growing air traffic. China's Giant Dam Raises Red Flags China has begun building the world's largest hydropower project on the Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet—just upstream from India and Bangladesh. The $167 billion Motuo Dam is projected to generate 3x the output of the Three Gorges Dam. But India's not celebrating. Arunachal CM Pema Khandu called it an “existential threat,” warning the dam could act as a “water bomb” if water is suddenly released. India's foreign ministry has urged Beijing to respect downstream interests. China, not party to any water-sharing treaty, has promised “no negative impact.” Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma offered a cautious view, saying the river's flow comes from multiple sources and more study is needed. Meanwhile, India is moving ahead with its own buffer dam project on the Siang river. Jane Street Cleared to Trade Again After being barred from Indian markets for alleged ₹43,000 crore index manipulation, US-based hedge fund Jane Street is now back on the NSE and BSE—under tight SEBI conditions. The firm deposited ₹4,843.5 crore into an escrow account, a key requirement from SEBI's 3 July interim order. Jane Street denies any wrongdoing, claiming its trades were simple arbitrage. The return doesn't mean the probe is over. SEBI will continue monitoring Jane Street's trades under heightened surveillance, with a final verdict expected in the coming months. Meanwhile, BSE shares jumped nearly 3%, and unlisted NSE stock saw a surge in demand. Afcons Rides Global Rail Boom Infrastructure major Afcons just clinched a ₹6,800 crore railway project in Croatia, its second big win in a week. The project involves reconstructing a railway line between Dugo Selo and Novska, including electrification and signaling. This follows two Croatian road project wins worth ₹4,535 crore, a ₹700 crore Reliance contract in Gujarat, and a ₹463 crore rural water project in Rajasthan. Despite strong order momentum, Afcons' stock has underperformed since listing in November at ₹426. It now trades around ₹418, down over 10% from IPO and nearly 27% off its high of ₹570. Still, analysts remain bullish, citing the company's execution record and robust pipeline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief (Sarsanghachalak) Mohan Bhagwat said that once they attain the age of 75, leaders should think of retiring and yield to younger colleagues. But, in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and particularly the BJP-RSS relations, there will always be the Modi exception. To think that this is a nudge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to step down as he turns 75 on 17 September this year, six days after Bhagwat, will be reading too much into it.

Tel Aviv and Tehran trade missiles as Trump weighs military action "Tel Aviv and Tehran continue to exchange missile salvos on the seventh day of escalating conflict, as Israeli pressure mounts on US President Donald Trump to intervene. Trump has reportedly approved military plans but has yet to decide whether to authorise an attack on Iran. Meanwhile, dozens of protesters gathered outside the White House, opposing another US military intervention in the Middle East. Only 16 percent of Americans support US involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict, according to a YouGov poll. Israel launched strikes on Iran on Friday, targeting military positions and nuclear sites, killing senior officials, scientists, and hundreds of civilians. Iran responded with a barrage of missiles aimed at key Israeli positions." Putin: Iran's uranium sites intact despite Israeli strikes "More from the conflict between Israel and Iran... Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that Iran's underground uranium sites remain untouched despite fierce Israeli airstrikes, as Iranian society rallies behind its leadership. Speaking in St. Petersburg, Putin urged a balanced resolution — protecting Iran's right to peaceful nuclear power and Israel's right to security. With US President Trump weighing intervention and Iranians fleeing the capital, Putin revealed he had held direct talks with Trump and Netanyahu, stressing diplomacy over escalation." Trump and Pakistan's Munir meet to discuss regional peace, trade "US President Donald Trump praised Pakistan's army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, for playing a pivotal role in averting a war with nuclear-armed India. Meeting privately in Washington, the two discussed regional tensions, including Iran and potential trade deals. Trump credited both Munir and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for de-escalating recent hostilities, calling their efforts “extremely influential.” The meeting marks a renewed tie between the US and Pakistan amid heightened tensions in South Asia and the Middle East." Rescue teams search as 700+ missing in Nigeria floods "More than seven-hundred people remain missing three weeks after devastating flash floods struck Niger state in central Nigeria, officials say. At least two-hundred-and-seven-bodies have been recovered, with four-hundred-homes destroyed and over three-thousand-residents displaced. Rescue teams continue their urgent search amid fears the toll could rise. Nigeria's rainy season, worsened by climate change and poor infrastructure, is expected to bring more flooding, threatening millions across the country. " US Fed holds interest rates, warns of economic uncertainty "The US Federal Reserve held interest rates steady between four-point-twentyfive percent and four-point-fifty percent after its two-day meeting, signalling two rate cuts later this year. Despite its cautious stance, President Trump lashed out, calling Fed Chair Jerome Powell “stupid” for not lowering rates faster. The Fed also lowered its 2025 growth forecast to one-point-four percent while raising inflation and unemployment projections, underscoring economic uncertainties amid ongoing tariff pressures. Officials remain watchful, balancing risks in a volatile landscape."
