Kashmir Ki Kali (1964) *Shammi Kapoor & Sharmila Tagore
Authorities in Indian-administered Kashmir are sounding the alarm, saying children as young as 12 are addicted to heroin.
Al Jazeera’s Minelle Fernandez reports.
Israel has welcomed 250 Indian nationals who claim to be descendants of a biblical tribe, as part of ongoing gov't efforts to encourage Jewish migration to the country.
Al Jazeera’s @nour_odeh reports.
I travelled through Great Nicobar today.
These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow.
The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs.
The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away.
This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language.
So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime.
It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.

This song is credited with cementing Asha's image as the premier voice for sultry, cabaret-style songs, marking a shift from her earlier singing style. Considered one of the defining hits of that era.
