India’s Iran Dilemma: Chabahar Port in Crosshairs of a West Asian Realignment
From India's Iran dilemma to the ‘No Kings’ march in the U.S., plus a bypoll in Kerala shaped by decades-old rivalries—this and more in today’s newsletter.
A decades-old rivalry shapes the Nilambur bypoll in Kerala—but it’s not just about parties. The bypoll isn't so much about UDF vs LDF, it's about a tussle between 3 strands of Muslim leadership that have dominated the area's politics for decades—Read Aditya Menon’s deep dive into the matter. Meanwhile, a quiet hero emerges in Ahmedabad, 48-year-old Nilesh Waghela, who provided over 100 coffins to carry the mortal remains of the victims of the Air India crash at Ahmedabad airport on 12 June. On the global stage, India finds itself recalibrating its West Asia policy amid Iran-Israel tensions, while Modi’s G7 visit tests ties with Canada. In the U.S., thousands rally against Trump under the banner of “No Kings.” Also: a fact-check on a video showing an explosion in a plant is going viral on social media and The Quint’s Swati Chopra speaks to the ‘Panchayat’ cast on working conditions in the entertainment industry.

Queer, Not Quiet
This Pride Month, we're bringing "Queer, Not Quiet" with The Quint, a documentation of everyday lives, struggles and joys of the queer community in India. From 101 on pronouns to the meaning behind the colors in pride flag, from transwomen pioneering Bharatnatyam in Chennai to a transman pursuing his dreams of modelling in Delhi. We will share stories that we have covered over the last decade with compassion and conviction. From everyday courage to dazzling defiance, it's pride beyond the parade.
