BALLOT IN BANGLADESH
A SAYING DOING THE ROUNDS IN DHAKA captures the mood ahead of Bangladesh's February 12 general election: whatever is the result, the country's next prime minister will be a Rahman, a lighthearted reference to the leading contenders—Tarique Rahman of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and Dr Shafiqur Rahman of the Jamaat-e-Islami (Jel).

STATS AND SPIRITUALITY
It had to be a first. Hours after the Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the budget for 2026-27, Prime Minister Narendra Modi flew to Dera Sachkhand Ballan in Punjab to mark Guru Ravidas Jayanti. Never has a prime minister left the national capital on Budget Day. So, while analysts parsed deficits and growth, Modi was busy bowing before Sant Niranjan Dass, the Dera chief and a recent Padma Shri awardee. Rooted in the Ad Dharm and Ravidassia movements, Dera Ballan has long embodied Dalit self-respect in Punjab's Doaba region. With his visit, Modi drew that history into the national frame, recasting a symbol of spiritual autonomy as one of cultural unity.
