After Vijay Mallya complains of poor lighting in Indian jails, a UK court wants Indian authorities to send in a video of jail conditions in India - another bizarre twist in the Mallya saga. From Vijay Mallya to Nirav Modi to Mehul Choksi - has India just allowed them to get away?

There's a massive political uproar over the Assam citizens list. Amit Shah says this is about national security; the opposition says genuine Indians are being harassed and left out. Tonight, we ask, what exactly will happen to those who will lose their citizenship at the end of this exercise. It doesn't look like Bangladesh would take them. So where will they go?

The big fight over Assam's draft citizen's list - 40 lakh people don't find a place on it and could face being deported. Is this about targeting Muslim immigrants? Or all so-called outsiders?

Amid the controversy over TRAI chief's Aadhaar dare, we look at if your personal data is really safe? Or are the concerns about Aadhaar exaggerated.

In less than 24 hours, the Assam government will release the National Register of Citizens, a register that proposes to identify valid Indian citizens and those that the government deems as illegal immigrants. It's a move that will likely have a profound impact in the lives of millions in Assam and key questions continue to be asked. For example, what happens to those who may have entered India illegally from Bangladesh but have made India their home for decades. What happens to the children of those who may have entered India illegally? Where will these children who have known only one home India go now? Is there a real danger that lakhs within Assam may end up becoming stateless individuals where even basic rights could be denied? Tonight, on Left Right and Centre, we ask, does Assam's National Register of Citizens create a huge divide or does it mean a stronger India?

With about 40 lakh people of the total 3.29 crore not making it to the full draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC), the big question is what happens next and how the government is going to deal with those who finally lose their citizenship.

As we spend more and more of our lives online, protecting our personal data from misuse has become more important than ever before. From Aadhaar data breaches to the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica controversy, from credit card fraud to identity theft, we are open to all sorts of cyber attacks. Now, India is a step closer to having a Data Protection Law, the draft Personal Data Protection Bill by the Justice Srikrishna Committee has been made public. After consultations and amendments, it will find its way to parliament where eventually it should become a law. Tonight on Left Right and Centre, we ask why is this bill so important for you, the digital Indian, who uses smart phones, apps and social media, and does almost everything online and does it do enough to protect you.

Imran Khan is all set to be Pakistan's new Prime Minister. As he lays out his vision, he says Pakistan will take two steps if India takes one. But can India trust him?

The shameful starvation deaths of three children in the national capital statistics show an alarmingly high number of children still die of hunger every year in India. Is India taking the fight against hunger seriously?

Amid allegations of blatant rigging in Pakistan elections, member of international observers group and former Chief Election Commissioner of India SY Quraishi told NDTV that they found the system to be transparent, free and fair.
