Eight months today that #Kashmir has not had normal #internet access. 2G internet was restored about two months ago. Some political leaders still in detention. In January, #India Supreme Court had said access to internet is a fundamental right.

The number of miscarriages & newborns dying in Badakhshan, #Afghanistan has DOUBLED in past year. We'd expected the number to be higher, but not this high. Hunger and stress the main reasons. Almost everyone told us they can only afford 1 meal a day. @imo_anderson @sanjayganguly

My father just missed seeing the country he loved fiercely turn 75. He’s left his mark on it in the bridges he designed.And he taught us about freedom, tolerance and equality by practising it in our home. To the #India built on those ideals, Happy Independence Day, आज़ादी मुबारक!
