Indian political fiction provides an interesting way to explore politics, governance, leadership, and the effect of power on ordinary people. Through fictional characters and political situations, these stories can examine how personal beliefs change when individuals become part of a larger political system.

India has been named in a proposed amendment to a Russia sanctions bill that could allow the US president to impose tariffs of up to 100% on selected countries.
