The recipient of this year's Nobel Peace Prize is a fast-dwindling group of atomic bomb survivors who are facing down the shrinking time they have left to convey the firsthand horror they witnessed 79 years ago.
Nihon Hidankyo, the Japanese organization of survivors of the U.S. atomic bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was awarded for its decadeslong activism against nuclear weapons. The survivors, known as hibakusha, see the prize and the international attention as their last chance to get their message out to younger generations.
We must seriously think about the succession of our messages. We must thoroughly hand over from our generation to the future generations, Toshiyuki Mimaki, senior member of the Hiroshima branch of Hidankyo, told reporters Friday night.
With the honor of the Nobel Peace Prize, we now have a responsibility to get our messages handed down not only in Japan but also across the world.
The honour rewards members' grassroots efforts to keep telling their stori

Meanwhile, the condition of the fasting doctors have worsened, with fellow medics saying their health parameters are "declining." They have been on hunger strike since October 5.
Dr. Debasish Halder, one of the protesting doctors, said, "They are very weak and all their parameters are declining. The presence of creatinine in their urine has increased. Seven days of fasting is definitely taking a toll on their health, but it hasn't weakened their resolve for ...

The apex child rights body has raised serious concerns about the state of functioning in madrassas and called for stopping state funding to them unless they comply with the Right to Education Act.
In its latest report titled 'Guardians of Faith or Oppressors of Rights?', the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) said religious institutions operating outside the purview of the Right to Education (RTE) Act, 2009 had a negative impact.
According to the report, the exemption of madrassas from the RTE Act has deprived children attending these institutions of quality education.
While Articles 29 and 30 of the Indian Constitution protect the rights of minorities to preserve their culture and establish educational institutions, NCPCR asserts that these provisions have inadvertently led to discrimination against children in madrassas, who miss out on formal education mandated by the RTE Act.
The report pointed out that while the primary focus of madrassas is religious .

Former British prime minister Boris Johnson is all praise for change-maker Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a new memoir that reflects upon his eventful political career and recalls a curious astral energy that he felt on his very first meeting with the Indian leader.
'Unleashed', which hit the shelves in the UK this week, devotes a whole chapter to Britain's relationship with India as a relationship as good as it has ever been.
Repeatedly stressing the strong India-UK friendship in the context of the Indo-Pacific, the former prime minister credits himself for setting the course for a proper free-trade deal with India thanks to finding "exactly the partner and friend" needed with Modi.
For some reason, we went down to stand in the dark in the plaza by Tower Bridge, in front of a crowd of his supporters, shares Johnson in the chapter entitled Britain and India', referencing his first meeting with Modi during a visit to his City Hall office by the river Thames when he was Mayor of ...
