Three headlines.
The central one pertains to the Indian PM's chest-thumping boastful claim as regards Indian democracy -- of late suffering a serious crisis of credibility -- before an assembly of world leaders.
The one on the left tells us that a draconian "anti-terror" law is being applied against a globally acclaimed Booker Prize winning (female) writer who is also known as a sharp critic of the menacingly authoritarian ways of the incumbent regime by weaponising an old FIR registered in 2010 on account of her public stance, on Kashmir vis-a-vis India (ref.: <https://www.outlookindia.com/national/arundhati-roy-2010-speech-uapa-kashmir-azadi-the-only-way>). This law ensures that the charged one is incarcerated for years even without a chargesheet being filed, let alone convicted. The second one, on the right, relates to the news that the mysterious death two years ago of a brilliant (Muslim) student (from the North Eastern state of Assam) in the student hostel of a Central Government-run top-notch engineering college, which was being aggressively sold by the college management as a case of suicide, is actually one of brutal murder -- involving gunshot and stab wounds.
