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.

Why do you think people still choose such risky routes over legal options? Is it desperation, or do they see it as a faster way to success?
With Amritpal Singh reportedly considering contesting from another seat in Malwa, possibly even against Sukhbir Singh Badal, the challenge for the Shiromani Akali Dal could go beyond one constituency. Akali Dal (Waris Punjab De) is trying to position Amritpal as a statewide leader, while the SAD is already working to rebuild its traditional Panthic base before 2027. If Amritpal expands his political reach from Majha into Malwa, could he take away the very voters the Akali Dal needs for its comeback ? What would Amritpal Singh’s growing political reach mean for the Akali Dal ?
अमृतपाल सिंह के मालवा से दूसरी सीट पर चुनाव लड़ने की चर्चा, संभवतः सुखबीर सिंह बादल के खिलाफ भी, शिरोमणि अकाली दल के लिए चुनौती को एक सीट से कहीं आगे ले जा सकती है। अकाली दल (वारिस पंजाब दे) अमृतपाल को एक राज्यव्यापी नेता के रूप में पेश करने की कोशिश कर रहा है, जबकि अकाली दल 2027 से पहले अपने पारंपरिक पंथक आधार को फिर मजबूत करने में जुटा है। अगर अमृतपाल माझा से आगे बढ़कर मालवा में भी अपनी राजनीतिक पकड़ बनाते हैं, तो क्या वह उन मतदाताओं को अपने साथ ले सकते हैं जिनके सहारे अकाली दल वापसी की उम्मीद कर रहा है ? अमृतपाल सिंह की बढ़ती राजनीतिक पहुंच का अकाली दल पर क्या असर पड़ेगा ?
The Akali Dal was once seen as a powerful political voice for Punjab’s Panthic electorate. But years of electoral setbacks, internal divisions and the rise of competing Panthic voices have changed that equation. With 2027 approaching, the party faces a tough question: has it managed to rebuild its emotional and political connect with the Panthic voter, or has that space slowly moved elsewhere ? How would you rate the Akali Dal’s Panthic connect today ?
