Modi's government and some of India's elites are battling for control of one of the country's most elite private clubs

• The Delhi Gymkhana Club is one of the oldest and most elite private clubs in India.
• The government took official control of the club in 2022.
• Now, some of its powerful members are battling to reclaim it.

Members of the Delhi Gymkhana — one of the oldest private clubs in India — are trying to wrest back control after India's far-right government seized it in 2022.

The club was first established by British colonists in 1913 as a sporting club called the Imperial Delhi Gymkhana, according to its website.
