INTERNATIONAL

Beijing has banned two Australian academics from entering China. Professor Clive Hamilton and Alex Joske would be refused entry in accordance with the Entry and Exit Law of the People’s Republic of China.It comes after Australia cancelled the visas of two Chinese academics. Hamilton said he had not sought a visa to travel to China, and that he believed the decision to deny him and Joske entry to the country was linked to Canberra’s tensions with Beijing. “It seems to be Beijing’s way of saying, ‘Well, if you’re going to do it, we’ll do it too.’ It’s a pretty petty response.” said Hamilton.

A place, where the camera's sharp gaze does not miss any of your movements and where love or a delicate human touch is hard to find. You are isolated from loved ones, friends, and family. Amid this hubbub was Masroor, a fair-handsome bearded Kashmiri, a little shorter than i. We connected initially because he loved to gossip and share knowledge. He wanted me to tell him about the possible consequences of the abrogation of Article 370.

In 1939, even before the formation of Pakistan—the very presence of which is utilized to target Indian Muslims—Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, one of the unmistakable ideologues of Hindutva, commented, “If we Hindus in India grow stronger, in time these Muslim friends of the League type will have to play the part of German-Jews instead”....
