Terror incidents related to the territorial dispute over Kashmir draw global attention, but an increasingly virulent Maoist insurgency appears to pose bigger security risks for India.

Congressional approval of a U.S.-India nuclear deal will bring energy-starved India another step closer to securing nuclear fuel and technology for its civilian program.

The July 11 Mumbai train bombings touched off a debate in India over how the nation combats terrorism. While some argue government reforms are required, others say the nation should address what they see as the root of the problem—Pakistan.

The proposed U.S.-India nuclear deal has cleared its first major legislative hurdle but it remains controversial in both countries.

A series of bombings ravages Mumbai's commuter rail system, leaving hundreds dead and wounded. Suspicion falls on Kashmiri militants, and tensions rise between nuclear-armed neighbors India and Pakistan.

Despite the fact that Malala Yousafzai, the fourteen-year-old Pakistani women's rights activist, survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban, similar attacks against women, like the one in India, are on the rise. Gayle Tzemach Lemmon says that these attacks are efforts to stamp out women's progress and the potential of women worldwide will not be realized if this type of violence is tolerated.

Jagdish Bhagwati argues that growth can reduce poverty and that slow economic growth will hurt social development, which he also argues in his new book with Arvind Panagariya, "India's Tryst with Destiny: Debunking Myths that Undermine Progress and Addressing New Challenges."
