July 13, 2025 ThePrintPod: Dalai Lama decides to reincarnate. His successor may only get an imagined homeland to rule
After years of debate, the Dalai Lama has decided he will reincarnate. China, however, is determined that it, not Tibet’s government-in-exile, will decide who his successor should be. Time is on Beijing’s side. The country’s rapid economic development, as well as its severe suppression of dissent, have won over significant numbers of Tibetans to its side. The Tibetan diaspora in India, meanwhile, is in decline, with numbers of young people chosing to make their future in the West.

July 12, 2025 NationalInterest: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat draws the line at 75. India’s politics stares at the Modi Exception
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief (Sarsanghachalak) Mohan Bhagwat said that once they attain the age of 75, leaders should think of retiring and yield to younger colleagues. But, in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and particularly the BJP-RSS relations, there will always be the Modi exception. To think that this is a nudge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to step down as he turns 75 on 17 September this year, six days after Bhagwat, will be reading too much into it.
