Women in the lead.

"Amid a spate of attacks on Hindu temples in Australia, Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly raised the issue with his visiting counterpart Anthony Albanese saying that such attacks are disturbing and had naturally caused anxiety in India." TOI. "Albanese assured him that the safety of the Indian community was a special priority for his government." Wonder if Albanese asked Mr Modi about late visa for one particular Australian cricket player. In February, "Australian opener Usman Khwaja was granted the visa late on Wednesday to travel to India for the test series after the Pakistan-born cricketer was forced to miss the morning flight due to delay in the issuance of travel documents." HT. Pretty bland. But not in Australia. "Cricket columnist Malcolm Conn of the Sydney Morning Herald has brought out the rich irony of Usman Khawaja's brilliant century on day one of the fourth Test match...which started after the well-choreographed chariot ride around the stadium by PM Narendra Modi, accompanied by his Australian counterpart." The Wire. For those, who have never seen a chariot in the age of the motor car, these pictures from the movie 'Ben Hur' will clarify. google. It's not just a Pakistan-born foreigner, however, India has lots of people who do not practice, or believe in, Hinduism. But, as citizens, they have the right to vote. And, elections bring power. So, "Narendra Modi sat poker-faced as the choir sang Hallelujah, a popular Christian hymn extolling Jesus as the 'King of kings and Lord of lords' during the swearing-in ceremony of the new NDPP-BJP coalition government in Kohima, Nagaland." DH. Modi is already our emperor. Far away in the US, "Seattle has become the first US city to ban discrimination based on caste after a vote by the city council." BBC. Because of Councilwoman Kahama Sawant. "The caste system in India dates back over 3,000 years and divides Hindu society into rigid hierarchical groups." The media in India will not dare to report that, "Washington: After a recent screening of a BBC documentary, India: The Modi Question, panellists urged the US media to hold Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi accountable for the 2002 massacre in Gujarat." Pakistan newspaper Dawn. "Aakashi Bhatt, daughter of jailed whistleblower (Sanjiv) Bhatt, told the participants that many of India's institutions, including the media and judiciary, 'are subverted from top to bottom' and 'used by the regime to do its dirty work'." "A video has gone viral on social media where several posters, claiming that women and minorities are treated like slaves in India among other hateful things, were seen outside the United Nations building in Switzerland's Geneva." News18. "One of the posters read , 'Indian Christians face state-sponsored terrorism'." Not just Christians. "A Muslim man in Bihar's Siwan district died...at a hospital after a mob brutally thrashed him on the suspicion that he was carrying beef." NDTV. "In an interview where she reveals the disquieting state of journalism in Kashmir, and the disturbing treatment of Kashmiri journalists by the government, Anuradha Bhasin, the executive editor of the Kashmir Times, refuted minster of Information and Broadcasting Anurag Thakur's criticism of her recent essay in the New York Times," wrote Karan Thapar. Modi has immunity as the head of state, said a US spokesperson. TN. That does not apply to his underlings. If western countries start denying them visas for their taxpayer-funded jaunts overseas, the rats might start fleeing the ship. That's when the dung will hit the fan. Holy Cow.
