Raghav Chadha’s ‘Merger’ Claim Triggers Debate on Anti-Defection Law

Can MPs switch parties overnight and still keep their seat?

The debate is heating up after Raghav Chadha claimed that he and 6 other MPs from Aam Aadmi Party have “merged” with the Bharatiya Janata Party. But is that even legal under India’s anti-defection law?

Under the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution of India, individual defections can lead to disqualification. However, there’s a crucial exception, if at least two-thirds of MPs agree to a merger, it may be considered valid.

Now the BIG question:
👉 Can MPs alone decide a merger?
👉 Or does it require approval from the political party itself?

Watch till the end to understand anti-defection law.

Israel’s Lost Tribe Relocating from India? Who are the Bnei Menashe?

Over 250 Indians from the Bnei Menashe community have arrived in Israel under “Operation Wings of Dawn,” reigniting global interest in one of history’s most fascinating migration stories.

Believed to be descendants of the lost Tribe of Manasseh, one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, the Bnei Menashe trace their origins back to ancient exile after the Assyrian conquest. Today, thousands from India’s Chin, Kuki, and Mizo communities are reconnecting with their claimed Jewish heritage.

From Mizoram and Manipur to Israel, this decades-long migration has accelerated since their official recognition as Jews in 2005. With plans to relocate nearly 6,000 more members by 2030, this journey is not just about geography, but identity, faith, and belonging.

Watch to understand the history, migration, and significance of the Bnei Menashe community.
