The May Dossier covers the interesting saga that unfolded after the Karnataka assembly election results and its implications on Indian politics. The economic section analyses crony capitalism and the bank NPAs that have become the bane of Indian economy. It also includes the Walmart buy of Flipkart.

In terms of India’s external engagements, the Modi-Putin informal talks, the visit by PM Rutte of Netherlands and Modi’s course correction with Kathmandu are analysed.
