Why EU lawmakers in Kashmir is sparking criticism
| | | At a time when the Narendra Modi government has said not a single death has taken place in Kashmir, even though ground reports show otherwise, Huffpost India's Betwa Sharma highlights that the visit by European Union lawmakers illustrates how the Modi government’s oppression of Kashmiris is aided and abetted by fringe-elements of the international community. Meanwhile, Opposition parties and senior journalists criticised the visit by the EU lawmakers, at a time when Indian MPs have been stopped time and again from visiting Kashmir. In more bad news, Kannada actors harassed movie goers for not standing up while the national anthem played at a theatre in Bengaluru. |

| | | | This week, Indian Home Minister Amit Shah said, “not a single bullet has been fired nor a death reported in Kashmir” since the abrogation of Article 370. Shah is wrong; there have been at least four other deaths, which families claim have occurred as a result of the activity of security, including asphyxiation by tear gas, but the government refuses to acknowledge these deaths let alone investigate. Today, the Indian government is shepherding a private delegation of European Union parliamentarians from an assemblage of far-right parties including France’s National Rally, the UK’s Brexit Party, Italy’s Lega Nord, and Spain’s Vox, on a tightly controlled visit to Kashmir. |

| | | | | | This will be the first foreign group to visit Kashmir since August 5, when Article 370 was abrogated. This comes after members of the US Congress had expressed concern over the lack of access to media and foreign delegations to the state. But the move has not gone down well with many politicians, including those from the BJP. |

Worth watching?
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At a time where female narratives are largely relegated to gritty and raw explorations of the urban woman, chiefly focusing on their sexual liberation, here is a film that brings together two dazzling actors to present an endlessly inspiring tale of deliverance from societal dogma.
The film’s biggest problem is its linear structure and unmotivated plot progression, which seems hurried and filled with undercooked scenes. But directing woes aside, Saand Ki Aankh is a unique story that is unsurprising yet intriguing.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Despite an interesting premise and a reliably persuasive performance by the leading man, Made in China fails on both counts: neither is it funny enough to discount its narrative shortcomings, nor is it compelling enough as a social drama to make up for the lack of humour.
The film comes across as a significantly less talented cousin of Vicky Donor, which got the cocktail of humour and drama right. Made in China has sporadic moments that make you vaguely smile but, just like Raghu’s many ideas, the smile never translates into laughs that’d actually give you a bang for your buck. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New to this email?
