The Indian Army has carried out a “physical verification” of the Chinese pullout from the Depsang Plains and Demchok to ensure everything has been according to the agreement signed by the Corps Commander on 21 October, The Print has learnt. Officials in the defence and security establishment said the verification was done according to the mutually agreed standard operating procedure.

This was to ensure that the Chinese army had dismantled the tents, defences, vehicles and other elements it was supposed to pull down. Read this report by Snehesh Alex Philip.

Months ahead of the assembly polls in Delhi, the Congress, eager to reclaim lost territory, is launching an aggressive campaign against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), accusing its INDIA bloc ally of taking the city through “a decade of misgovernance”.

From 8 November to 4 December, the Congress’ Delhi unit will take out a Nyay Yatra, March for Justice, across the metropolis to “expose” the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP’s role behind the city’s “state of disrepair”. Sourav Roy Barman reports.

The Hooda Khap—one of the most influential community councils in Haryana—has sent a legal notice to Netflix India and the makers of ‘Do Patti’, demanding an apology for “defaming” Jats in the film. It has called for the word ‘Hooda’ to be removed from a “derogatory” dialogue delivered by actor Shaheer Sheikh, calling on Netflix to stop streaming the film till this is done.

A copy of the notice sent Saturday via email by social activist Surender Singh Hooda, a member of the Hooda Khap, was marked to Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, as well as the information and broadcasting minister. A follow-up notice was also sent to the parties Monday, saying they had 13 hours to make the changes. Sushil Manav brings you exclusive details.

Sati sacrifices can also pave the way for temple-building, attracting thousands of visitors and greasing the local economy. Even husbands are elevated to demigod status, motivating some families to pursue sati rites, according to Kavita Srivastava, national president, People’s Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL), reports ThePrint's Shubhangi Misra.

After the last Lok Sabha elections, the BJP looks underconfident about the potency of this idea. Or so it seems from the way it’s undermining everything that the idea stood for—from revdis to dynasts and all-inclusive politics and governance. Critics might quibble about the difference between projections and realities but it didn’t matter when Modi personified the BJP writes DK Singh, ThePrint's political editor.
