Every year, 7.25 lakh Indians risk their lives by taking illegal 'Donkey Routes' to migrate abroad. With estimated 50,000 people missing and this dangerous journeys comes across as 4,600 km.

With every election approaching, the Punjab BJP suddenly seems to rediscover Punjab's deras, religious institutions and cultural symbols, while confidently declaring itself the state's only hope. Yet despite years of organisational expansion and high-profile inductions, the party continues to struggle for meaningful electoral acceptance in Punjab.

Can repeated symbolism substitute for the deep political trust that Punjab's regional politics has always demanded ?
