Hindus unsafe under Muhammad Yunus's watch? Top focus on India First

This edition of India First focusses on escalating violence in Bangladesh, where 11 Hindus were killed in 35 days. The programme details the targeting of Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian communities, prompting discussions on whether this is a collapse of law and order or systematic ethnic cleansing. The report also covers India's regional water policy, with Union Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar setting a December 2026 deadline for the Pakal Dul and Kiru hydroelectric projects in Jammu and Kashmir, stating that India is free to utilise its river waters. Additionally, it addresses a legal dispute in Tamil Nadu, where the Madras High Court permitted the Karthigai Deepam festival at Thiruparankundram hill. The court dismissed the DMK government's security concerns as an "imaginary ghost," a decision the state may appeal to the Supreme Court.
