Five days after the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced the Model Code of Conduct (MCC), Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was bizarrely arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for his alleged role in money laundering in the Delhi liquor scam.

The case brought to sharp relief the desperate means that Indians employ to emigrate to the US, UK and Canada but, more recently, even to conflict zones. I ..read more
