Is India quietly tightening its grip on Kashmir?
India's prime minister has just inaugurated the Chenab rail bridge, connecting Kashmir to India's vast rail network. But critics are warning it's the latest project designed to control the disputed territory.
India has been approving an enormous amount of building projects in the disputed territory of Kashmir in recent years.
Since revoking laws that granted Kashmir autonomy, Narendra Modi's government has had new powers to build on and populate the land.
Channel 4 News explores the impact of these projects and the extent of a growing military presence using data gathered by Forensic Architecture and Forensis, to investigate claims by some Kashmiris that Modi's government is trying to tighten its grip on the region by bringing more Hindus into India's only Muslim-majority region.
India says this is all part of a plan to improve the lives of Kashmiri people.

Humza Yousaf news, interviews and updates on former first minister
He first entered Holyrood in 2011 and has remained in the parliament ever since then, although he plans to step down at the next election. Yousaf resigned as Scotland's first minister last year after ending the Bute House Agreement with the Scottish Greens. Read on for all the latest Humza Yousaf news, interviews and updates on the former first minister. Humza Yousaf news and updates Scotland's oil profits 'must not be used to exploit citizens in Gaza' 'Scotland is not an island of strangers', says Humza Yousaf UK Government slammed after trade envoy Ian Austin visits Israel When did Humza Yousaf enter politics? Born and raised in Glasgow, Yousaf studied politics at the University of Glasgow before working as a parliamentary assistant for the late SNP MSP Bashir Ahmad. Yousaf (below) was first elected as an MSP for the Glasgow region in May 2011, aged only 26, and was the youngest minister ever appointed to the Scottish Government. He was then elected as a constituency MSP for Glasgow Pollok in 2016 – a position which he has held since. However, Yousaf confirmed he would be stepping down as an MSP at the 2026 Holyrood election. He announced the news in December 2024, saying that the 'time will be right for me to move on'. 'I could never have imagined the incredible political journey I have been on,' Yousaf added in a statement. When did Humza Yousaf become first minister? Yousaf has held several ministerial roles in the Scottish Government, including as minister for Europe and International Development and for transport and Scotland's islands. He also served as justice secretary from 2018 to 2021 and as health secretary from 2021 until 2023. The Glasgow MSP succeeded Nicola Sturgeon (below) as first minister in 2023, becoming the first person of colour to hold the office and the first Muslim leader of a western democracy. (Image: PA) Following Sturgeon's resignation, he fought a leadership contest against now-Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes and Ash Regan – who now serves as Alba's leader in Holyrood after defecting from the SNP. Humza Yousaf resignation Yousaf announced he would step down as first minister and as leader of the SNP on April 29, 2024. He held the position for a little over a year but resigned after ending the power-sharing deal with the Scottish Greens and was succeeded by John Swinney. At the time, he had also been facing a confidence vote in his leadership tabled by the Tories and a separate bid by Scottish Labour expressing no confidence in the Government as a whole. Speaking when he announced his resignation, Yousaf said: 'Unfortunately in ending the Bute House Agreement in the manner I did I clearly underestimated the level of hurt and upset that caused Green colleagues. 'For a minority government to be able to govern effectively, trust when working with the opposition is clearly fundamental.' Humza Yousaf Gaza Yousaf has consistently called for a ceasefire in Gaza, with Israel's bombardment having killed tens of thousands of people. He has also called for an end for arms exports to Israel and has spoken at pro-Palestine demonstrations. His in-laws returned to Scotland in November 2023 after being trapped for four weeks in Gaza. His wife Nadia El-Nakla's parents had spent time trapped in Gaza in a house where 100 people were sheltering, including a child of two months old. Before getting out, they had travelled to the border in an attempt to leave on three previous occasions. At the time, Yousaf said his brother-in-law, a hospital doctor, and his family remained in Gaza as did his wife's stepmother and grandmother. Elon Musk feud Yousaf has also been engaged in several clashes on Twitter/X with its owner Elon Musk. This started in October 2023 when Musk accused Yousaf of being a 'blatant racist' after the tech billionaire shared a highly selective clip of the SNP MSP when he was justice secretary. In August 2024, Yousaf accused Musk of 'amplifying white supremacy' after the Twitter/X owner said civil war is 'inevitable' in the UK following riots in England and Northern Ireland. Following this, there were then reports that Yousaf had issued a legal warning to Musk, who responded by calling the MSP a 'scumbag'. Humza Yousaf wife Yousaf is married to Dundee councillor Nadia El-Nakla. They announced the birth of their second child in July. Outside of politics Away from politics, Yousaf volunteered for community radio for 12 years and on a charitable project providing foot packages to homeless people and asylum seekers in Glasgow. He is a supporter of Celtic FC and regularly shows his support for the Scotland National Team. Humza Yousaf scooter Yousaf was captured on film falling off a knee scooter while he was travelling through one of the Scottish Parliament's corridors in 2021 following First Minister's Questions. The MSP had ruptured his Achilles while playing badminton days before the incident and had been getting around Holyrood using the alternative to crutches. The clip was shared by BBC Scotland political editor Glenn Campbell who said: 'The Health Secretary @HumzaYousaf does not appear to be having a good day at work …' Yousaf replied to Campbell and questioned his decision to post the video. He said: "All for media scrutiny and never shy away from it. Just not sure there is need or purpose to tweet out a video of me falling over while injured. "If anyone else had fallen over while on crutches, a knee scooter, or in a wheelchair would your first instinct be to film it and tweet out?"

The Ballymena riots are nothing to do with protecting women
Less than a year on from the far right riots that gripped England last summer, another part of the UK finds itself engulfed in a rampage of violence sparked by anti-immigrant sentiment. Several Northern Irish towns and cities have seen days of racially-motivated destruction, disorder and crime, with homes set alight, petrol bombs thrown and police officers attacked. The epicentre of the chaos is Ballymena, Country Antrim, where rioting followed initially peaceful protests on Monday evening in support of a teenage girl who was allegedly sexually assaulted in the area. Two teenagers appeared in court on Monday charged with attempted rape. Though their ethnicity hasn't been officially announced by the police, they spoke through a Romanian translator in court. And much like the riots that originated in Stockport last summer when Axel Rudakubana killed three children, it is their perceived identity that is the focus of the disorder. Like that unrest, the violence has been targeted, and terrifying, not least for someone like me, a visibly Muslim woman living in the UK. Attacks have been aimed at businesses and households thought to belong to 'foreign' people, anti-immigration slogans have been chanted in the street, and rioters have even live-streamed burning someone's house. The situation is so bad that families in Northern Ireland have resorted to putting up signs clarifying their identity to avoid being considered 'foreign'. It goes without saying that we should all be outraged by the alleged attempted rape of a teenage girl, no matter who is accused of perpetrating the act. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video But like last year, I'm forced to ask – is this really about the alleged victim at all? Why is it that these masked mobs only seem to care about protecting women and girls from violence and sexual assault when it's someone who isn't White British accused of the crime? There was no sign of these rioters when, for example, one of Northern Ireland's most prominent politicians, former DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, was charged with 18 sexual offences including one of rape, all of which he denies. Defenders of these racist riots might argue that immigration is the root of this problem but are we really going to pretend that migrant men are uniquely responsible for the epidemic of violence against women in a way that white British people aren't? The last time I checked, our national institutions – from parliament to the police force – were riddled with instances of misogyny. Besides, if immigration was to blame then how do you explain sexual abuses of power conducted by wealthy white men in suits? Are we going to ban suits because some men who wear them abuse women? No, of course not. Because those propositions are ridiculous. Just as ridiculous as blaming racist riots on the very immigrant communities who are being targeted. Ultimately, those rioting are hiding behind the guise of protecting women to instead propagate extremism. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Those in Ballymena aren't venting their frustrations at specific immigration policy, or protesting in support of women and girls, they are enacting violence and creating disorder in the name of the kind of culture that excludes people like me. If this was actually about systemic misogyny, then we'd see mass unrest every time a famous figure, business or institution is found to have been mistreating women, something that happens with depressing regularity. Instead, when horrific things befall women and girls, our suffering is hijacked by those seeking to sow discord and ignite community tensions. Just like with the horrific murder of three little girls in Stockport last year, the unconscionable act simply became a way for people to fuel a violent anti-immigration agenda. Meanwhile the plight of the victims and their families was overshadowed. Senseless violence and mass disorder doesn't protect women. It renders entire communities unsafe and ironically it is women and children who bear the brunt of this. There have been stories of migrant mothers fleeing Northern Ireland with their children in recent days because they are so frightened of being visibly foreign amidst such aggression and hostility. Parts of Britain descending into racist chaos every time a non-white person commits or is accused of a crime destroys the fabric of what sort of country Britain claims to be: One of tolerance and inclusion. These far-right rioters positioning themselves as the great defenders of British women and girls actually do the opposite. It moves the focus away from dealing with systemic, embedded patriarchy and misogyny in our society and instead shifts resources – from media attention to police time and money – onto tackling the subsequent disorder, rather than the root cause. Plus, what sort of women and girls are they defending? Certainly not women like me, who are visibly other, and are actively rendered unsafe by this sort of violence. Everyone I know who is a visible outsider – whether through skin colour or religious dress – still has the memory of last summer's racist riots etched in their mind. More Trending It has permanently shifted the ground upon which we have built our lives in the country we thought we belonged in. The idea of the same thing once again being reignited on UK soil reminds me that people like me are never safe. All it takes is one alleged crime to be committed by someone with a foreign name or brown skin and we are all once again rendered unsafe, forced to hide away in our homes or prove our right to exist in the place we call home. And that isn't protecting anyone. Do you have a story you'd like to share? Get in touch by emailing Share your views in the comments below.
