Will the Eiffel Tower row strain India-France ties? | Above the Fold | 8 Sept 2026
A protest by female staff at the Eiffel Tower has sparked a controversy after workers were reportedly asked to make themselves “invisible” during a visit by a BAPS delegation. The organisation has apologised, while Paris officials have criticised the request. What does the episode mean for the perception of India and India-France ties? Also in focus: the Supreme Court’s intervention after the Delhi PG collapse killed at least seven people, PM Modi’s inauguration of ₹35,000-crore projects in Vadodara, the killing of Manipuri musician Chongtham Vikram Singh, and Houthi strikes in Saudi Arabia.
