How should India respond to Trump's H-1B crackdown? Experts debate on Rajdeep Sardesai's show

The top talking point of this episode of News Today is the United States' H1B visa crackdown and its wide-ranging implications for India, including the uncertainty faced by the Silicon Valley tech sector and the ongoing trade negotiations involving top Indian ministers in the US. The show explores whether these developments present an opportunity for India's technology industry. Additionally, the show features a former Chief Justice of India, Justice DY Chandrachud, who addresses the principle of 'bail not jail' and advocates for the striking off of sedition laws. Justice Chandrachud specifically discusses stringent laws like UAPA and PMLA, emphasising that 'bail must be the rule, jail must be the exception,' as the Supreme Court issued a notice on bail pleas in the 2020 Delhi riots case, including Umar Khalid. Further segments investigate India's future in AI and deep tech amidst challenges from China and US policies, a significant ₹23 crore 'digital arrest' scam targeting a 78-year-old in South Delhi, the implementation of GST 2.0 leading to price cuts on various goods ahead of the festive season, and a look at the creative Durga Puja pandals in Kolkata.
