World Update

Available for over a year

The Indian elections are the world’s biggest – but, not everyone feels part of it. Hundreds of young widows in the north-eastern state of Manipur allege their husbands were killed by security forces in extra-judicial killings. The army describes them as separatist insurgents. The Âé¶¹Éç's Divya Arya has been to meet some of them. (Photo: Indian women from Manipur protest in New Delhi. Photo: MANPREET ROMANA/AFP/Getty Images)
