Chai pe Crochet

A colourful crochet blanket made by over 4,000 diaspora women was today presented to Prime Minister Modi on the final day of his maiden UK visit under a ‘Chai pe Crochet’ initiative.

The “unique” large-scale blanket made up of more than 2,500 squares of crochet created by Indian women across the UK in their own individual styles was undertaken by the Indian Ladies in UK (ILU) group, that claims to have almost 5,000 Indian women mostly 1st generation immigrants from India as members.

(The project) represents our unity as well as our gender, which is especially pertinent given Mr Modi’s stance on the issue of female empowerment. The squares represent our individuality as Indians whilst the end product represents our unity in diversity.

Modi Condemns Paris Attack

What happened in Paris yesterday was an attack on humanity. This wasn’t an attack on France but humanity and mankind. The United Nations needs to expedite the process of defining terrorism so that it can be known who supports terrorism. Once we have that definition, we will know who helps promote terrorism and who are the victims. It is the need of the hour that such incidents (Paris attacks) need to be fought by united forces of mankind.
