En daarnaast echt goed om te zien dat er bij India-nieuws steeds meer ruimte in de media is voor achtergrond. Dat kwam maandag ook al ter sprake bij het Actualiteitencollege van @leidenglobal.bsky.social - en nu ook in Mare: www.mareonline.nl/achtergrond/...

Het is altijd crisis in Kasjmir: ‘Dit conflict is onoplosbaar’

Sinds 1947 leidt het grensconflict rond Kasjmir tot aanslagen, spanningen en oorlogen. Carolien Stolte legde tijdens het actualiteitencollege uit waar de wortels van dit probleem liggen.
