India is considered to be the original home of the Roma and Sinti. Multiple reasons, routes and timelines have been proposed for their migration and their retention of Indian linguistic and cultural traits. Their long journey out of India did not always lead to hospitable new lands. Some roads led to Auschwitz-Birkenau where on 2nd August 1944, several thousand Roma and Sinti perished in the ‘liquidation’ of the ‘Zigeunerfamilienlager’ (Gypsy family camp). It is estimated that over half a million Roma and Sinti were lost in the mass murder (Samudaripen) and brutal devouring (Porrajmos) organised by the Nazi regime and their World War II allies

How Modi Won India

Sardesai documents how this was a truly TIMO — There Is Modi Only — election. The Opposition just did not have anyone who could match Modi in the public imagination. Voters saw in the PM a man committed to India’s development, or a messiah for the poor, or a nationalist securing India against enemies, or all of the above. More than in 2014, this election was truly presidential in nature. It exposed the limits of the Congress strategy of turning it into 543 local contests. And if the current trend holds, the Opposition may well have to think whether it can present a single, credible face for 2024, and build the person’s image accordingly. Sardesai’s work is an examination of many factors and elements that led to BJPs victory.
