REACTING strongly to the ongoing unrest in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), India on Thursday called on the international community to hold Pakistan accountable for its "horrific human rights violations" and systemic exploitation of the region under its illegal occupation.

Hathras in 2024 at a religious satsang, where followers stampede in a rush of blind devotion, while the state machinery busies itself trying to control the narrative. Even at the greatest of religious festivals, the Kumbh Mela, where millions gather, crowd-related deaths occur with horrifying regularity, often covered up and casually dismissed as a ‘logistical inevitability.’
