Each year, the programme allocates 65,000 visas, with an additional 20,000 reserved for candidates holding advanced degrees.

Opinion Piece Argues Sonia Gandhi's Account of 1984 Rewrites History on Sikh Victims

An NDTV opinion piece examines Sonia Gandhi's recent framing of the events of 1984 and contends that it seeks to recast the historical record. The author argues that the Army had been prepared to act, and places responsibility for the failure to protect Sikhs on the Congress party. The piece presents this as a critique of the political narrative rather than a news report of new events. The views expressed are those of the columnist and reflect a contested political debate over accountability for the anti-Sikh violence.
