1984 anti-Sikh riots: Why former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar was not awarded death penalty
Tuesday, 25 February 2025 Former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar has been sentenced to life imprisonment for his role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, specifically for the murder of Jaswant Singh and his son. The court cited Kumar's age, health, good conduct, and potential for rehabilitation as reasons for opting for life imprisonment instead of the death penalty, disappointing some Sikh leaders.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has stirred controversy after endorsing Donald Trump’s recent comment calling India a “dead economy.” Gandhi said he was “glad Trump stated a fact,” drawing sharp criticism from across the political spectrum. What was intended as a dig at the Modi government quickly backfired, with critics accusing Gandhi of siding with a foreign leader to malign India on the global stage.

Between 2010 and 2020, the world’s population grew—and so did most major religious groups. Christianity remains the largest religion at 2.3 billion, but its global share fell to 28.8% as more people left the faith, especially in Western nations. Islam experienced the fastest growth, adding 347 million to reach 2 billion globally, fueled by high fertility rates and youthful populations. Meanwhile, the religiously unaffiliated rose to 24.2%, driven by secular trends in countries like China, the U.S., and Japan. Demographic shifts suggest Islam could match Christianity by mid-century.
