Shameful

Dear Editor, It was disturbing that a cop in Uttarakhand allegedly tried to rape a woman at a quarantine centre. The Surajmal Institute located in Pulbhatta has been turned into a quarantine centre, where people coming to the area, are being asked to stay. Among the inmates of the quarantine centre is a newly-wed couple. Allegedly, the policeman went to the newly-wed couple's room located on the second floor. After reaching there, the accused grabbed the woman's hand and started taking her to a room located on the first floor. As per the police complaint, the accused was inebriated when the incident took place. However, it is an obvious misbehaviour of policeman. It is extremely condemnable, specially when it was committed by a person, who is responsible for safety of people. His misbehaviour not only stigmatized his family, but also defamed the group of security forces. Culprit must be punished. --M N Musaeed Jogeshwari Mumbai

Speaking two years after California's Watts riots in August 1965 and race riots in Harlem the previous summer, King spent a few minutes trying to explain the cause of rioting to his predominantly white audience. “In the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear?” pic.twitter.com/Als3jhxaGH — The King Center (@TheKingCenter) May 28, 2020 America has consistently "taken a positive step forward on the question of racial justice and racial equality" only to follow it with "certain backward steps," King said. Because of…

Letter - Life in quarantine

As Covid-19 continues to spread around the globe, repatriated Namibians, such as myself, are wrestling with the uncomfortable side effect of widespread infectious disease: quarantine. A quarantine is designed to keep high-risk individuals who may have been exposed to the virus in isolation during the disease’s infectious period, to see if they became sick. Since Covid-19’s incubation period is believed to be 14 days or fewer, that is how long the quarantine period has lasted for the Namibians who have since returned home. For some, quarantine is merely inconvenient, or at worst, dull. For others, especially those quarantined without their luggage, like myself, the situation is more precarious.
