Many voters in troubled Kashmir defied a call for a boycott and headed to the polls Thursday amid tight security, as India neared the end of its monthlong national elections. 隨著印度歷時一個月的全國大選接近尾聲，局勢動蕩的克什米爾有很多選民不顧抵制大選的呼籲，周四在警衛森嚴之下前去投票。
Indian economic growth has slowed noticeably, too, as the central bank tightens monetary policy to try to stanch inflation ahead of national elections in the next few months. 由於印度央行試圖在幾個月後的全國大選前通過緊縮貨幣政策來遏制通貨膨脹，該國的經濟增長也顯著放緩。
