First, Indian Express’ Ritu Sharma talks about the case of five foreign students from Gujarat University who were injured when a group of 20-25 people forcibly entered their hostel and assaulted them for offering namaz during Ramzan inside the hostel building.

Next, Indian Express’ Diplomatic Affairs editor Shubhajit Roy discusses the 'low-risk' outreach undertaken by the new government in Pakistan and its implications amidst the deteriorating ties between the two nations (09:42).

And in the end, we go over Zomato rolling back its “Pure Veg” delivery service idea, and anthropologist MA Kalam sheds light on the persistent myth surrounding the belief that most Indians are vegetarians (19:45).
