A tragic story has emerged from Rajasthan's Jaisalmer, where a Pakistani Hindu teen couple Ravi Kumar (17) and Shanti Bai (15) died of dehydration while attempting to cross the India-Pakistan border through the Thar Desert. Denied visas by Indian authorities, the newlyweds chose to risk everything for a new life in India. Their journey ended in silence and sand with only a jerry can by their side, empty and dry. This heartbreaking case has triggered a cross-border emotional stir and raised questions on humanitarian protocols, Indo-Pak visa policy, and the treatment of persecuted minorities.#RajasthanNews #PakHinduCouple #TharDesertTragedy #IndiaPakistanBorder #Jaisalmer #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews

Tomorrow's Independence Day, not 'us vs them' day
We all want Independence Day to be safe and secure tomorrow. But much of I-Day has morphed from a spontaneous public celebration into a day of paranoid, xenophobic vigil. This week, a national-level skater and his father were denied a hotel room in Noida, because they were Bengali. The hotel staff reportedly explained to the two Kolkatans that the police had instructed them not to allow people from 'Bangladesh, Punjab, or Jammu and Kashmir to stay until August 15' and that 'people from Bangladesh' and Bengalis from West Bengal were the 'same thing'. Noida Police has denied giving any such instruction. Be that as it may, this is a genie that authorities have to put back in the bottle, ever since Delhi Police issued its infamous July 29 notification conflating Bengalis and (illegally residing) like this, however stray, show how dog whistling - seemingly innocuous messaging, but containing a covert instruction - is becoming normalised among a pliant, willing citizenry. Last month in Gurgaon, a 'verification drive' targeting illegal Bangladeshi immigrants led to migrant Indian Muslim workers being detained. Such paranoid binary thinking - 'them' vs 'us' - vitiates the very spirit of I-Day. It replaces trust and unity with suspicion and division, patriotic pride with paranoia. Worse, it seeps beyond August 15, feeding dangerous narratives India 2025 can well do without. GoI should issue a clear directive stating that valid IDs should suffice for hotel check-ins - which can, anyway, be verified with police if need be. The least it can do is condemn such divisive messagings before tomorrow, when all Indians celebrate freedom from a time when such nefarious conflations were the hallmark of colonial divide and rule.

"Scared To Go Outside": After Violent Attack By Teenagers, Indian Man To Leave Ireland
An Indian man who was attacked by a group of teenagers in Dublin on Sunday, said that he planned to go back to India as a result of this incident. The man was attacked by three people in the evening around 5:30 pm in Fairview Park. He told The Journal that while walking home from the park, one of the teenagers on an electric scooter kicked him in the stomach. Although he tried to walk away, two others started attacking him. He fell on the ground while they continued to kick and punch him. One of the attackers took his metal water bottle and hit him above his eye, which caused a deep gash and resulted in heavy bleeding. The victim said that people did not help him despite being around during the incident. Later on, two boys helped him and called the gardai. Thereafter, he was taken to the hospital where he received eight stitches. He told the publication that many of his Indian friends are now "scared to go outside" and some are even thinking of going back to India. His parents have also advised him to consider coming back home. The gardai are still investigating the case. Irish President Michael D Higgins had condemned the ongoing recent attacks on members of the Indian community and called them "despicable". In a statement, he expressed a "deep sense of gratitude" for the contribution of the Indian community to Irish life. He highlighted their role in medicine, nursing, the caring professions, culture, business, and enterprise. "Their presence, their work, their culture, have been a source of enrichment and generosity to our shared life," he said. He added that the recent attacks "diminish all of us and obscure the immeasurable benefits the people of India have brought to the life of this country". Recently, Indian-origin people have faced racially motivated violence. The Indian Embassy in Dublin had also issued an urgent safety advisory, and urged residents to "avoid deserted places" and "exercise heightened caution". The Embassy also warned of "an increase in the instances of physical attacks" on Indians.
