An FIR has been filed by the Cyber Police in Srinagar against Iltija Mufti and others over allegations of promoting a figure associated with separatist politics. The case stems from her social media post sharing an old video of Syed Ali Shah Geelani, in which she highlighted his remarks on the Urdu language while distancing herself from his ideology. The post drew backlash online, with critics accusing her of indirectly legitimising separatist narratives. Authorities have invoked multiple provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, citing concerns related to national integrity, and have launched an investigation, while also warning citizens against circulating similar content.

The shutter has closed on the father of modern Indian photojournalism, but the images he left behind will continue to dictate how we remember history. With the passing of Raghu Rai at 83, the world loses a maestro who didn’t just document events, but captured the psychological landscape of an era. While his frames of the Bhopal tragedy or Mother Teresa are etched into the collective conscience, his encounter with Pakistan's military dictator, General Zia-ul-Haq, stands as a masterclass in reading power through a lens.
The setting was a diplomatic delegation to Pakistan led by then-External Affairs Minister A.B. Vajpayee. Rai was the lone photographer in the room, stepping into the orbit of a President who was notoriously shrewd and meticulously careful about his public image. As Zia-ul-Haq greeted the Indian delegation, he asked each member where they were born. When it was Rai’s turn, the photographer answered simply: "Jhang." In that brief exchange, a bridge of shared geography briefly spanned a hostile geopolitical divide, with the General even inviting the photographer to visit his birthplace.
But Rai’s camera was never sentimental; it was deeply observant. When he photographed Zia, he stripped away the carefully curated armor of the military ruler. The resulting picture wasn't just a portrait of a head of state; it was a piercing look into the shrewd, calculating, and complex aura of a man steering the fate of a volatile region. Rai bypassed the dictator's guarded persona to capture the unvarnished reality of power and the underlying tensions of the subcontinent.
As we bid farewell to the boy from Jhang who crossed over to become India’s greatest visual storyteller, we remember the fearless nature of his gaze. He respected no borders, no political facades, and no manufactured narratives. Raghu Rai has stepped out of the frame, but his archive remains an enduring compass for truth, proving that the most profound geopolitical stories are often told in the silence of a single, perfectly timed exposure.
