In 'The Kaurs of 1984', Sanam Sutirath Wazir uncovers stories of survival that have been carried quietly by India's Sikh community for decades. Wazir noticed a void in the official narratives of 1984 – the voices of women who had survived the carnage. The book is a reminder of how decisively the ground beneath your home can shift, how neighbours can turn into vultures, and how a city built on the love, labour, and enterprise of a post-Partition refugee community can firmly turn against them. In a country where forgetting is prescribed as a cure for trauma, remembering becomes an act of resistance. The Kaurs of 1984 didn’t just lose people and possessions during the second “ujaada” – they continued to lose in the years of silence that followed. Their stories remind us that a country’s amnesia isn’t natural. It’s a privilege reserved for those who never had to learn the art of survival.----more----Read full article here: https://theprint.in/opinion/1984-sikh-riots-india-amnesia-women-survivors/2362273/

'What is more interesting is that two words — ‘Islamic’ and ‘State’ — put together evoke alarm rather than optimism. However, the Albanian proposal gives more hope than fear. The Albanian Muslim Vatican would remind the world that Islam is far from monolithic and many interpretations of the religion coexist peacefully, as they should. The Bektashi order follows a mystical, inclusive form of Islam rooted in Shia Sufism, embracing pluralism and intercultural dialogue', says Pasmanda Muslim Thought Leader & ThePrint Columnist Amana Begam Ansari.
Historical examples, like the 1971 INS Khukri incident & Pulwama-Balakot in 2019 incident highlights the dangers of inadequate military preparation. Investments should focus on crucial but often overlooked areas such as long-range artillery, drones, smart ammunition, and advanced air defence. Small budget increases or aggressive privatisation could fund these needs, ensuring robust defence capabilities and deterrence against China and Pakistan.

Complete waste of time. If you are doing journalism since long time doesn't mean you are journalists, remained कचरा at this age of life. We did not expect much from the print but this is disgusting. No substance.
