Kashmiris Sue Modi in U.S. Court as Trump Prepares to Appear with Indian PM at Texas Rally
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A pair of Kashmiri citizens have filed a lawsuit in the United States
against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for carrying out
extrajudicial killings and other crimes in occupied Kashmir. The lawsuit
was filed just days before Modi is scheduled to speak at a major rally
called "Howdy, Modi!" in Houston, Texas, where he will be joined by
President Trump.

In other news on India, as many as 10 mass detention centers are being
built in the northeast state of Assam. This comes just weeks after India
stripped nearly 2 million residents of Assam of their citizenship.
