An Emotional Farewell for a Football Icon

Over 7,000 fans gathered at the SAI Ground in Kokrajhar to bid farewell to one of Assam’s finest footballers — Durga Boro — as he played his last match in an exhibition game between Assam XI and Bodoland FC.

From starting at the Subroto Cup in 1999 to representing clubs like Churchill Brothers, Shillong Lajong, Guwahati FC, and NorthEast United FC in the ISL — Durga’s journey has inspired an entire generation.

“Football has given me everything. I now want to give back as a coach,” said the emotional 38-year-old.

Top stars like Halicharan Narzary, Vinit Rai, Pranjal Bhumij, Hrithik Tiwari, and coach Subam Rabha joined the tribute — honouring a man who has given his heart and soul to the game.

Durga Boro may have hung up his boots, but his legacy will continue to inspire young footballers across the region. 💪🏽

Human sacrifice at Kamakhya Temple? See how the 'national media' paints a picture of Northeast India.

The relentless stream of misinformed and insensitive reporting by certain “national media” organizations has once again exposed the deep-rooted prejudice against Northeast India. The latest trigger came from television channel CNN News18, which on Tuesday made a shocking and defamatory remark about the revered Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati while covering the ongoing Raja Raghuvanshi murder case.

In a televised segment, a CNN News18 anchor, while interviewing a family member of the deceased, loosely claimed that the Kamakhya Temple is “known for human sacrifice” – a disturbing factually incorrect and culturally irresponsible assertion. The anchor appeared to suggest a ritualistic angle behind the Honeymoon case, citing Kamakhya Temple as an example. The casual reference was not only in poor taste but also reeked of ignorance and a blatant disregard for the cultural sanctity of one of India’s most important Shakti Peeths.

Banu Mushtaq’s Heart Lamp, the triumphant recipient of the 2025 Man Booker International Prize, represents far more than a literary achievement—it is a seismic event in the global recognition of marginalized narratives. This distinction is particularly significant as it marks the first time the prestigious award has been bestowed upon a short story collection, elevating a form often relegated to the peripheries of “serious literature.”
