What happens when you have to boycott your favorite dish? Our reporter travels to her home in North east India to find out.
The Indian state has been a cauldron of ethnic tensions for decades and the latest round of forced expulsions of hundreds of Muslims is only making the matters worse.
Almost 200 people, mostly women, have been murdered in the northeastern Indian state of Assam, accused of witchcraft and sorcery. Witch-hunting is a prevalent practice in Assam and neighbouring states among many indigenous communities.
Nearly two million people have been excluded from a list of citizens in India's northeastern Assam state, raising fears they could be rendered stateless. The list, known as the National Register of Citizens (NRC), was published on Saturday after a years-long exercise aimed at identifying legal residents in the impoverished border state. A total of 31.1 million people were included in the final list, leaving out 1.9 million people, according to a statement from the Assam government.
Instead of focusing on their education, teenage girls in Malda, a border town in West Bengal, are focused on the fear of being forced to marry without their consent. VICE India host Makepeace Sitlhou meets schoolgirls, Priyanka, Ismoarah, Moushumi, and Masuda, to understand how they navigate through life in a society where the sole purpose of a girl's existence seems to be marriage.
India's decision to revoke the autonomy of Indian-administered Kashmir has cast a shadow on peace talks with a rebel group that is thousands of kilometres away, in the northeast of India. The governor of Nagaland has told the media the only sticking points are the flag and the constitution. Now after decades of fighting, the Nagas are still waiting for a settlement that fully respects ties to their land, history and identity. Al Jazeera's Priyanka Gupta reports from Camp Hebron in Nagaland.
