As Diwali nears, Assam's Kumar community preserves their pottery tradition

As Diwali nears, Assam's Kumar community preserves their pottery tradition

As Diwali approaches, the Kumar community in Nimati Bhitor Kokila Kumar Gaon, Assam, is struggling to keep their 200-year-old pottery tradition alive. This art, which used to be a main source of income, is now at risk of disappearing. The Kumar people are known for making clay utensils along the Brahmaputra River, but modern competition and a lack of resources are making it hard for them to survive. About 120 families live in the village, most of whom are below the poverty line, facing significant economic challenges. They also struggle to get the special clay needed for pottery and receive little support from the government. Without immediate help, the rich cultural heritage of the Kumar community could be lost forever, leaving them in a shadow of uncertainty... [Read More]

Major blow to Hezbollah as IDF eliminates top heir Hashem Safieddine

Major blow to Hezbollah as IDF eliminates top heir Hashem Safieddine

Israel confirmed on October 22 that Hashem Safieddine, a key leader in Hezbollah and considered the heir to Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in a strike three weeks ago in Beirut. This marks Israel`s first acknowledgment of his death, which they had previously suggested might have happened during an airstrike. Safieddine was important for Hezbollah, overseeing military and financial operations, and representing the group in public as Nasrallah avoided appearances for safety. His death could significantly impact Hezbollah`s leadership and its ongoing tensions with Israel. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to focus on releasing hostages and ending the conflict in Gaza. Safieddine had previously threatened retaliation against Israel after the death of another commander, highlighting the potential for escalation in the region... [Read More]
