- North Korea opened a massive resort area on its east coast, state media has said, with the tourism pet project of leader Kim Jong Un reportedly set to welcome Russian guests later this month.
Dubbed "North Korea's Waikiki" by South Korean media, the Wonsan Kalma Coastal Tourist Area can accommodate nearly 20,000 people, according to Pyongyang, which previously described it as "a world-class cultural resort".
Kim showed a keen interest in developing North Korea's tourism industry during his early years in power, analysts have said, and the coastal resort area was a particular focus.

Scroll Adda Episode #3
India's caste system is unique. Nowhere else in the world does this system of thousands of graded endogamous groups exist.
At the top of the pyramid are the dwija savarna castes: Brahmins, Baniyas, and Kshatriyas.
Nearly two millennia of caste privilege mean that Savaranas dominate Indian society. Culture, politics, and the economy in India are Savarna-controlled.
Yet, there exists very little study of them as a group.
Enter Ambedkarite academic, Ravikant Kisana a.k.a. Buffalo Intellectuall, whose new book, "Meet the Savarnas", intends to fill the gap.
We spoke to him on Scroll Adda's third episode to try and understand why he wants to study upper castes.

- Twenty four people have been killed in an Israeli strike at a popular seafront rest area in Gaza City, as fresh calls grow for a ceasefire in the war-ravaged Palestinian territory.
The Israeli army said it had ordered a review into the strike, which it says targeted militants. In a statement to AFP regarding the incident, the army said it had struck "several Hamas terrorists in the northern Gaza Strip".
The cafe and restaurant, which had so far survived more than 20 months of war and intense bombings on the Palestinian territory, had become a gathering spot for those not displaced by the conflict.

- For working class migrants from Tamil Nadu, if there was one place in Delhi that felt like home away from home, it was Madrasi Camp. Residents of the slum cluster claimed it had sprung up more than half a century ago.
“My parents got married here. I was born here,” said Gopal, a 42-year-old man who works as a driver.
But the neighbourhood came under threat in May as Delhi High Court directed the government to clear all structures impeding the flow of a natural drain called Barapullah. Madrasi Camp was built along this drain.
As a legally recognised slum, its residents could only be moved out after they had been provided alternative homes. The government allotted homes but only to 189 families – less than half the total number of families living in Madrasi Camp – and that too, 50 km away.
“After living here for my entire life, you’re suddenly asking us to leave,” Gopal said. “Where do we go now?”

- Deforestation and illegal urban encroachment is posing a huge threat to Western chimpanzees in Sierra Leone. The Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary protects orphaned apes and has become a tourist hotspot, but it has closed its gates to try and push the government to respond to the rapid environmental degradation taking place in the region. Western chimpanzees are considered "critically endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

- “Secular forces fixate on footnotes”: Historian Manu Pillai | Scroll Adda

- Scroll Adda Episode #2
Few things seem more contested today than history. From politics to #Bollywood, this once sleepy school subject dominates headlines.
In a chat with Shoaib Daniyal on #ScrollAdda, however, historian Manu Pillai contextualises this. People of every age think they are living through unique circumstances. But maybe it’s not so different today as it was earlier.
That said, Pillai is clear that “#Hindutva has understood and weaponised how Indians deal with history” in a way that the left has not. “#Secular forces are fixated on a footnoted version of history,” he says. This makes it quite unappealing to people looking to history to construct an identity.
Where does that leave the historian? Pillai agrees that he never thought he’d be in such a contentious field when he first started out. But in the end, he sees it as the price of being in the public eye. Historians are people too. The idea that a pure or v...

- Residents of Tehran are fleeing the Iranian capital in large numbers in the face of Israeli bombardments, creating immense traffic jams on the main road heading north, according to social media content. Images verified by AFP, shot by a social media user from an overpass, showed near immobile traffic on a Tehran highway heading north with almost no vehicles in the opposite lane.
Israel launched a surprise aerial campaign targeting sites across Iran on 13 June, saying the attacks aimed to prevent its archfoe from acquiring atomic weapons -- a charge Tehran denies.

- Two clumsy middle-aged tourists managed to almost wreck a work of art while posing for photos in an Italian museum. Now the museum has launched a manhunt for the couple, who fled the scene. While the woman squats but does not seem to touch the work -- known as Van Gogh's Chair and covered in Swarovski crystals -- the man is not so careful, sitting and then stumbling backwards as the seat buckles under his weight.

- Description
- In this episode of our discussion series with author and peace worker Harsh Mander, senior academics Nandita Narain and Nivedita Menon speak about the grave attacks on Indian public universities and the narrowing of academic freedom. They unpack how recent policy changes and structural shifts are making it increasingly difficult for students from marginalised communities to access higher education. The conversation traces how decades of neoliberal privatisation had already weakened the public university system, but how the current Hindutvaisation of education has brought an even more urgent crisis.
The guests discuss how appointments and promotions of faculty are now often contingent on ideological conformity, with open preference being given to those aligned with the Hindutva ideology. At the same time students and teachers critical of the ruling dispensation face intimidation, disciplinary actions and vilification. They describe how fear is being institutionalised throug...

Alt News co-founder Pratik Sinha talks about the growing hateful discourse on the internet, the rise of pro-men groups, anti-minority pages, and anti-reservation pages. "Every line of division is growing sharper," he says.
Speaking of the young boy behind the 2022 Bulli Bai case, where Muslim women were "auctioned" on an app, he says the 17-year-old got radicalised sitting in his chair.
