Shabana, Kangana and Anupam defend The Kerala Story
The Kerala Story claims that 32,000 Hindu and Christian women from the mixed-faith state of Kerala have converted to Islam and that some were recruited by the militant Islamic State. Shabana Azmi and Anupam Kher alongside Kangana Ranaut are rooting for The Kerala Story's success. Shabana said it was as wrong as asking for a ban on Laal Singh Chadha, which starred Aamir Khan in the lead. The veteran actor tweeted, “Those who speak of banning The Kerala Story are as wrong as those who wanted to ban Aamir Khan’s Laal Singh Chaadha. But the closing credits still say it is "dedicated to the thousands of girls in Kerala and Mangalore who didn't come back home after their conversions".

A Positive Showing
The Pakistan men’s cricket team’s latest showing against New Zealand at home in the One-Day International series has several positives that the green shirts can bank on in the upcoming World Cup. Cricket diplomacy between India and Pakistan has been more or less stagnant ever since the Modi government came to power. However, an international tournament is much bigger than any bilateral series. A world cup without a potential finalist and winner would be tantamount to the other teams getting a walkover. An international tournament should be free from bilateral politics and should be about the sport itself.

The blue tick: a commodity for sale?
I am writing to express my concern about Twitter’s decision to charge for the blue tick verification system. The blue tick was once a way to show that someone was genuine and famous, but now it costs $8 a month to get one. I worry that charging for the blue tick verification system will make it less valuable and honest. This could cause people to trust Twitter less and make it harder for people to feel like they belong on the platform. Overall, I think Twitter should find a way to keep the blue tick verification system without making it something people have to pay for.
