A journalist exposing rape claims against Dera chief was killed. His son awaits justice 24 years on (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Anshul Chhatrapati grew up knowing his father was different. The name he inherited from him was itself a giveaway – Chhatrapati, a Sanskrit word for sovereign ruler, is most commonly associated with 17th century Maratha king, Chhatrapati Shivaji. That it was being used as a family name in Sirsa, a town in Haryana on the border with Punjab, was highly unusual. “It was during his college days,” explained Anshul, speaking of his father Ram Chander Chhatrapati, “that one of his teachers had given hi
Why an old demand to release Sikh prisoners is gathering political force in Punjab (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On August 21, several cities of Punjab woke up to a complete shutdown in support of a call to release Sikh convicts lodged in different jails across the country. Popularly called “Bandi Singhs”, the prisoners were convicted and sentenced by different courts for their involvement in the Punjab militancy during the 1980s and 1990s.

Read excerpt
On July 13, over 10 years after 14-year-old Insha Mushtaq was blinded by pellet guns fired by security forces, the Jammu and Kashmir government announced that it will give her Rs 41 lakh in compensation. Mushtaq was one among 6,000 people in Kashmir injured by pellets in 2016, when the Valley erupted in protests over the killing of popular militant commander Burhan Wani. The Omar Abdullah government’s decision comes at a time when the use of pellet guns in student protests in Delhi has led to ca
Why a generation brought up on pro-Modi propaganda turned against the PM (opens the original)

When Narendra Modi came to power in 2014, Kiran was a Class 4 student. She grew up in a rural household of Rajasthan’s Bikaner district where child marriages are common. But Kiran was lucky. Her family supported her education. “I am the only girl in my extended family to have left home for education,” said Kiran, 20, who lives in Delhi.
