March 2023 News Archive — What we covered

March 2023 brought a steady flow of stories across politics, business, sports, and entertainment, and this page groups what mattered that month. If you missed a few updates, this archive gives a quick read of the main trends, recurring themes, and the kind of reporting we published. Expect concise summaries, practical context, and pointers on which stories shaped conversations in India that month.

Big themes and why they mattered

We focused on a few clear themes during March. Political developments and policy updates drew attention because they affected daily life — from local governance to national debates. The economy stayed in the spotlight with corporate updates, market moves, and policy responses that influenced jobs and prices. In sports and entertainment, ongoing matches, tournament previews, and film releases kept readers engaged. Each theme got explainers and straight-to-the-point reporting so you could understand the impact without wading through jargon.

Readers told us they wanted clarity, not noise. So we prioritized quick explainer pieces and short news roundups alongside deeper reads. That meant more articles that answered simple questions: What happened? Who’s affected? What changes next? We also highlighted local angles to show how national decisions played out in different states and cities.

How to use this archive

Scan the headlines first to spot topics you care about. For politics and policy, look for articles labeled "explainer" or "analysis" to get context. For business and markets, check roundups that list key numbers and how they might affect consumers. Sports fans should search match reports and player updates; entertainment readers will find short reviews and release schedules. If you want quick updates, our roundups give the essentials in a few lines.

We also aimed to serve readers who prefer depth. Where a topic had ongoing relevance, we posted follow-ups that tracked developments, reactions, and outcomes. That means some stories in March had immediate updates and later analysis pieces that connected the dots.

Want to stay organized? Use this archive as a snapshot of March 2023: what was trending, what new issues appeared, and which conversations continued beyond the month. If a story looks important, search our site for later updates — many March items led to fresh coverage in the following months.

Finally, we welcome feedback. If you think something is missing from this archive or want a topic explained in plain language, tell us. Our goal is simple: help you find the facts fast and understand what they mean for your day-to-day life in India.

Why can't Delhi be a full-fledged state?

Delhi is a major metropolitan area in India, yet it still isn't officially considered a full-fledged state. This is an injustice that many Delhi residents would love to see rectified. The city is home to nearly 20 million people and has a thriving economy, making it a prime candidate for statehood. Delhi has its own transportation system, local government, and judicial system, all of which are indicators that it is ready for statehood. Ultimately, full-fledged statehood for Delhi would bring much needed economic and political stability to the region, as well as increased investment and development. It's time for Delhi to be given the recognition it deserves and become a full-fledged state.

What is life like in an Indian prison?

Life in an Indian prison is often marked by overcrowding, poor health care, and strict regulations.

In addition, prisoners are often denied the right to practice their religion and are subject to inhumane and degrading treatment. Life in an Indian prison is often a harsh and difficult one, with inmates rarely having access to educational or vocational training opportunities. Despite this, the Indian government has recently made efforts to improve prison conditions, but much remains to be done.
