In a recent update, India has made a notable shift regarding its diplomatic presence in Bangladesh. After over three months of classifying the Bangladesh posting as a “non-family” assignment due to rising tensions, India has now changed it back to a “family” posting.

The PIL was submitted by the Sree Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Foundation, which argued that dropping “Chhatrapati” hurt the feelings of Shivaji Maharaj’s followers. They requested the court to compel the filmmakers to rename the…
