...sources of that anger are not just economic. India has made little progress in resolving its decades-old dispute with Pakistan over Kashmir; in the meantime, the Indian troops who occupy it have turned the state into a swamp of resentment and virulent anti-Indian sentiment. The most raw grievance is the 2002 violence in the western state of Gujarat: nearly all of the 2,000 victims were Muslim, but only a handful of cases have been prosecuted. Gujarat, Kashmir and the 1992-93 anti-Muslim violence in Mumbai - in which hundreds were killed yet only three people convicted - have...

Processed beef metaphors aside, she toured with the company in Shanghai. In retrospect, says Moore, “Sacrificing my feet has been worth it.” For some students, globe-trotting and rehearsing...
...what change can be fashioned at this moment is still unclear. At the rally, talking points were raw with emotion and patriotism. Cries of "Death to Pakistan!" were frequent refrains in the chorus that now accompanies New Delhi and Islamabad's testy wrangling over the pursuit of terror suspects living in Pakistan. Lines of well-wishers snaked by the windows of police vans to shake the hands of the security personnel inside. Men with guns seemed far more popular than those with electoral mandates, though many in the crowd did not favor war. "We want real action," says Radikha Varma...
