NORA FATEHI appearance raises a question for Indian journalism. Where does reporting end and sensationalism begin? A prosecution witness is not an accused.

SHE WAS NEVER HIS TO KEEP. A stolen sealskin. A woman forced into marriage. Her family slaughtered. A curse that condemned generations to death. In the Faroe Islands, a beautiful bronze statue conceals a disturbing legend of captivity, revenge and a controversy over how women are remembered. KÓPAKONAN: THE WOMAN WHO CURSED AN ISLAND.

1996. WHEN EDEN GARDENS BURNED AND VINOD KAMBLI WEPT.

IRAN'S WARNING TO WASHINGTON: STRIKE AGAIN. EXPECT A WAR WITHOUT BORDERS.
Tehran threatens immediate, unrestricted retaliation against any fresh US or Israeli assault. No geographical limits, no assurance that the next battlefield will remain in Iran. The warning raises the stakes for American and Israeli decision-makers as diplomatic efforts continue.
The next strike may be ordered in one capital. Its consequences could engulf an entire region. One reckless strike could set the Middle East ablaze and drag the wider world towards catastrophe.

936 FLATS
39 BLOCKS.
36 YEARS OF DISPLACEMENT.
At Zewan, Srinagar, the government celebrates a milestone in Kashmiri Pandit rehabilitation. But behind the inauguration photographs lie questions that cannot be buried beneath ceremonial applause. Where did the money go? Why the long delays? How secure are the employees? And can a government flat ever replace a stolen sense of home?
The Continental examines the costs, the promises and the unfinished story of a community uprooted from its homeland.

A face that bewitched a generation. A smile that concealed a broken heart.
Madhubala possessed a beauty almost beyond description, yet her romance with Dilip Kumar, her troubled destiny and her immortal place in Indian cinema tell a far greater story.

“It’s Done, Bro!” The Wedding That Gave the Internet a Thousand Opinions.
Omar Abdullah and Nidhi Razdan married quietly. The internet, naturally, declined to keep quiet. Congratulations, parliamentary wit, unkind jokes and questions about politics crowded into the conversation. Blessings, barbed wit, political jibes, mischievous humour and some rather personal observations. What did India really say about Omar Abdullah and Nidhi Razdan’s wedding?

Were Nancy Friday’s reflections upon the exquisite design of woman ever to find their living illustration, one might discover it in Kim Kardashian. Few ladies of our age have been so generously endowed with beauty, such enchanting features, or so magnificent a figure. Yet Providence has bestowed upon her something beyond physical splendour, for she has made of beauty a fortune and of admiration an empire.

NARENDRA MODI: THE PRIME MINISTER INDIA HAS NEVER QUITE AGREED UPON

An Indian watching from abroad asks has India judged Modi by his controversies while overlooking his transformation of the nation? B. S. Dara writes for The Continental. thecontinentalnews.net/naren…
