Police has arrested 15 Muslim men for cheering for Pakistan after the ICC Championship Trophy Tournament. The men have been charged with sedition – punishable by life in prison. The hatred-driven rhetoric that filled the airwaves forces us to ask, whatever happened to sportsmanship? Have we become so blinded by propaganda surrounding India-Pakistan cricket matches that we mistake aggressive jingoism for patriotism? Or have there been other forces at work that are creating a strong emotion of enmity against our neighboring country? Is this the ‘Democratic India’ we hoped to live in, where support for another country in a cricket match makes you seditious.

The cases of Zika virus in India were hushed up and not reported to the people. It is criminal for the government to keep the country in the dark about confirmed cases for months. We only learn of it from the World Health Organisation (WHO) report now. WHO, based on a report by Government of India's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), confirmed first three cases of the dreaded Zika virus from Ahmedabad. The International body also confirmed the evidence on the circulation of the virus in India. This raises questions about what else is being hidden by this government, whether in the field of public health or other sensitive areas.
