Click here  “Their only fault was that they were Kashmiris,” was what Supreme Court advocate Kamini Jaiswal said about her clients—four Kashmiri men who were recently acquitted after 23 years of wrongful incarceration in two terrorism cases—to HuffPost India’s Betwa Sharma.

Meanwhile, Piyasree Dasgupta has a story on how the the poor people of Assam left out of the NRC are “going mad with fear”. The process, she writes, appears to have achieved little beyond demonising so-called foreigners, and further marginalising many of the state’s most vulnerable residents. In other bad news, India’s largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki India, which reduced its production by 34% in August, said it will suspend production at its Gurugram and Manesar plants in Haryana for two days.And if all this gloom and doom has you worried, there’s some good news for gamers: PS4s are now permanently cheaper in India. Supreme Court advocate Kamini Jaiswal, who represented the Kashmiri men who were recently acquitted after 23 years of wrongful incarceration in two terrorism cases, said "They are not seen as citizens of our country.
