An emotional story of a father and son`s reunion is going viral. Sukhpal Singh from Amritsar was joyfully reunited with his Japanese son, Rin Takahata, after 20 years. Rin, a 21-year-old student at Osaka University of Arts, was working on a family tree project when he decided to find his father. With only his father`s name, an old address, and some photographs from his mother Sachie Takahata, Rin traveled to Amritsar. On August 18, he asked for help on Fatehgarh Churian Road and was directed to Sukhpal Singh`s new home on Loharka Road. The reunion happened just before Raksha Bandhan, a special time for families. Despite previous unsuccessful attempts to connect via social media, the emotional moment of their meeting was captured in a video that has gone viral online. Sukhpal Singh shared the touching story of their unexpected and heartfelt reunion.

India’s External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar on March 08 snubbed the ‘double standard allegations against India. He was told that India has not criticised Russia in the country’s ongoing conflict with Ukraine and people think of it as “double st andards” of India. To this, Jaishankar sharply replied and said, “We in India know better than almost any other country. Because immediately after our independence, we experienced aggression. We experienced an effort to change our boundaries and even today, parts of India are occupied by another country. But we did not see the world responds saying that there’s a great principle involved and therefore let us all go with India. Yes, today we are being told that there are principles involved. I wish I had seen that principle in play for the last 80 years. I have seen those principles cherry-picked when suits people and not when it does not suit people.” S Jaishankar’s Japan Visit is scheduled from March 6 to 8.
