About
Punjab is a region divided between India and Pakistan, historically significant as the homeland of the Sikh religion. Recent news highlights various challenges and events impacting the region. In India's Punjab, farmers face fertilizer scarcity and rising costs, affecting crop production. In Pakistan's Punjab, political controversies are brewing, exemplified by the PCB fining Naseem Shah for criticizing a politician and reports of extrajudicial killings by Punjab police. The region's cultural heritage is also in focus, with an exhibition planned on Princess Sophia Duleep Singh, a Punjabi princess turned suffragette, and the revival of the Basant kite festival in Lahore, boosting the local economy. Furthermore, allegations link Indian officials to the killing of a Sikh activist advocating for a separate Sikh state in India's Punjab, raising tensions and drawing international scrutiny.
