Oxford University researchers asked people about their inner core of friendships and how this number changed when romance entered the equation.

Control issues

Arun Nehru

The situation in the Valley is getting worse but before the all-party delegation reaches Jammu and Kashmir let us be clear of two things: that the street violence over the last few months was generated by separatist forces, and that from the security point of view this cannot be tolerated by any government.

By Asghar Ali Engineer

The conflict in Kashmir seems to be unending and the way it is being handled by our armed forces, especially the CRPF is further aggravating it. Unfortunately, it is still being addressed primarily as a law and order problem and the aspirations of people and their problems hardly matter.
