When asked what message he wanted to deliver to his forces and Russian officers in Moscow, the seized soldier responded, “Frankly speaking, they tricked us. “Everything we’d been told was a lie. I would advise my troops to depart Ukrainian land and I believe 90% of us would agree to go home.” “They duped us,” the soldier was reported as saying by the Guardian.

And how did it gain a third part, military, hyphenated…

In Punjab, groups and interests have formed around two parties: the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), founded as an openly religious party representing the rural Sikh class, and the Congress, which has roots in a variety of socioeconomic groupings, including the state’s Hindus.  Identity-based vote banks become less visible in the debate as one proceeds from Uttar Pradesh to Punjab. “Yaha to chahe takdi hai, chahe jhadu wale, ya panja-sabko vote milta hai,” a shopkeeper from Dera Bassi, just outside Chandigarh, says (scale, broom, hand—everyone gets votes in Punjab).  His most visible political identification is not based on caste or religion…
