A 56-year-old Kerala nun is isolated in her convent, barred from eating or speaking with her fellow nuns. While the Church has made several charges against her, the real reason, she says, is because she stood up for a sister nun allegedly raped 13 times over two years by a powerful bishop.
Over a half-century later, two of the convicted assassins of Malcolm X, Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam, were exonerated on Nov. 18. Their exoneration demands an investigation into who were the real assassins and who allowed the murder to happen. The leading suspect is the U.S. government.

The passing of the farm laws was a manifestation of the Modi government’s contempt for the federal structure of the Republic and for Parliament itself.

Organised opposition to colonialism and imperialism began in the late 1920s, and Indian leaders, especially Jawaharlal Nehru, made significant contributions via the Non-Aligned Movement.
