Sikh separatist preacher
Internet services remain restricted in parts of India’s northern Punjab state for a fourth day as thousands of police continue their search for Sikh separatist leader Amritpal Singh. Over 100 of his supporters have been arrested in the manhunt since Saturday. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann promised strict action against those spreading “anti-national sentiments” in Punjab.

Mr Singh’s whereabouts remain unclear. On Tuesday, the high court in Punjab demanded to know […]Read more...

Almost every woman in India has a story of sexual harassment that took place in crowded public spaces – when someone fondled her breasts or pinched her bottom, elbowed her in the chest or rubbed himself against her.

India’s G20 meet
Gathering of foreign ministers is marred by disagreements as Russia and China reject a joint statement that calls for end to war. A meeting of the Group of 20 has ended without a consensus on the Ukraine war as China joined Russia in refusing to support a demand for Moscow to cease hostilities. The two were the only countries at the gathering of G20 foreign ministers on Thursday in New Delhi not to agree on a statement demanding Russia’s “complete and unconditional withdrawal from the territory of Ukraine”. Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said there were “divergences” that could not be reconciled […]Read more...
