Salman Khurshid Book Controversy
Former Union Minister Salman Khurshid has courted controversy with his new book 'Sunrise Over Ayodhya: Nationhood in Our Times', in which he has "compared the Hindutva movement with terror outfits like ISIS and Boko Haram."
Fresh excerpts reveal that the Congress leader has commented on the Hindutva issue from various standpoints -- from his own party's shifting ideology, to the BJP's agenda and how the demand for Ram Temple has altered the socio-political landscape of the country.
Khurshid has questioned the pro-Hindutva stance of a few Congress leaders and warned parties with secular leanings against jumping on the Hindutva bandwagon in imitation of the BJP.

New Book Throws Light on Nehru's Encounters with Contemporaries, Opponents
A new book serves as a revisionist exploration of India's first and longest-serving Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and investigates the overlooked role of his contemporaries and opponents in shaping his political vision.
"Nehru: The Debates that Defined India" is co-authored by Tripurdaman Singh and Adeel Hussain. It claims to re-examine the "ideological contests through which the Nehruvian consensus - and modern India - was forged".
Going beyond the imposed labels of contemporary discourse, the book illuminates "four encounters" that Nehru had with contemporaries from across the political spectrum - Muhammad Iqbal, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Sardar Patel and Syama Prasad Mookerjee - that are "critical to understanding his ideas, and his long afterlife and impress on the present".
