Indian Court's Order On 'Love Jihad' Draws Attention To 'The Practice Of Muslim Men To Convert Women From Non-Muslim Communities To Islam By Pretending To Love Them And Marrying Them'
In recent years, a societal phenomenon called "love jihad" has become a topic of discussion in Indian media. [3]In 2017, a MEMRI analysis discussed the phenomenon of love jihad in India, and how some Muslim writers view this as a "victory for Islam. "[4] The analysis stated: "In cases of interfaith marriage, Hindu and Christian women convert to Islam to marry a Muslim man. Predominantly, it is the non-Muslim women who convert to marry, though there are cases where non-Muslim men have embraced Islam to marry Muslim women. A huge amount of money is required for love jihad.

Faced with regional setbacks, India flexes its new economic muscle - Telegraph India
It has faced repeated diplomatic setbacks in the region, where its traditional influence had been waning in the face of China’s aggressive push. Regional leaders are showing a “high seriousness in understanding the growing economic clout and the place that India is taking on the global stage,” Rao said. “India’s neighbors are certainly interested in autonomy from India and having the option to engage with China and other outside states. But India is a massive economic and political presence that all governments have to at least do business with,” Staniland said. “China continues to flex a lot of economic muscle, there’s no doubt,” Rao said.

Potato Mission to get rebirth, Odisha govt outlines new plan
BHUBANESWAR: In a bid to cut dependence on West Bengal and other states for potato, which has been frequently leading to market scarcity and high prices in Odisha, the BJP government has initiated a move to revive the State Potato Mission to bring in self-sufficiency in tuber production. The Potato Mission launched by the BJD government a decade back was a massive failure due to various reasons including lack of incentives for farmers and absence of cold storage facilities in the state. As a first step, the state government has directed the Odisha State Seeds Corporation (OSSC) to procure 1.87 lakh quintals of certified potato seeds. The corporation has already placed the order to reputed traders of Punjab and Uttar Pradesh for supply of 1.77 lakh quintals of seeds. Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare minister Krushna Chandra Patra on Thursday said 1.77 lakh quintals of potato seeds have been positioned in different districts and the supply will start from October 14.
