India’s government orders handover of exclusive Delhi Gymkhana Club | India

The Indian government has ordered the Delhi Gymkhana Club, a prestigious private club, to vacate its premises by June 5th. The ministry of housing and urban affairs cited public interest requirements for defense and security infrastructure as justification for the eviction. This move comes amidst a broader political shift by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has sought to challenge traditional elites and reshape India's colonial past. The club, founded in 1913, has long been associated with the rich and famous but has faced internal disputes and allegations of financial mismanagement in recent years.
