<ul class="summary-list"><li>A US woman was found chained to a tree in Maharashtra, India.</li><li>Lalita Kayi, 50, said her husband had chained her to the tree and left her without food or water.</li></ul>The case of a US woman who was discovered chained to a tree in a rural part of the western <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/india">Indian</a> state of Maharashtra is puzzling investigators.Lalita Kayi, 50, was found last week in the state's Sindhudurg district after her screams were heard by a local, according to local media reports.A cow herder who found Kayi told <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4ngne7g5v3o">BBC Marathi</a> that he had heard screams "coming from the forest on the side of the mountain" as he took his cattle to graze."When I went there, I saw that one of her legs was tied to a tree. She was screaming like an animal. I called other villagers and the local police," he said.Police said the 50-year-old was found with a copy of her passport, an Indian ID card, a cellphone, a tablet, and 31,000 rupees (about $370), per the BBC.<a target="_blank" class="" href="https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/us-woman-chained-to-tree-india-decade-ago-to-learn-yoga-9485315/">The Indian Express</a> reported that she also had a medical prescription with her.She appeared emaciated and was reportedly taken to hospital and then on to a psychiatric facility to recover. Doctors said Kayi seemed to be experiencing a mental health condition.Unnamed sources told <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/attempted-murder-case-against-husband-of-us-woman-tied-to-tree-in-maharashtra-2574172-2024-07-31">India Today</a> that after her rescue, Kayi provided police with a written statement in which she alleged that her husband had chained her to the tree and left her without food or water."Injection for extreme psychosis which caused a severely locked jaw and inability to drink any water. Need intravenous food. 40 days without food and water. Husband tied me to a tree in the forest and said I would die there," she wrote on a pad.Police said it was unlikely she would have survived for so long, however.Sindhudurg police have since registered a case of attempted murder against Kayi's husband.Details about Kayi's life are scant, and it remains unclear exactly how she ended up in the forest.Police believe Kayi moved to India from the US around a decade ago to study yoga and meditation. She had previously lived in the state of Tamil Nadu in the south of the country, where authorities are now searching for her husband.The Indian Express said that Kayi had recently fallen out with her husband and had been staying in Goa, a small neighboring state on India's southwestern coast.Authorities are reportedly still searching for the husband.A spokesperson for the US embassy in Delhi told the BBC that it would not respond to questions "due to the US Privacy Act."

When he finally phoned after about twenty days, he told us that he had been tricked and taken to an unknown place in Russia, where he had received weapons training for a fortnight, along with a dozen other Indians," his brother, Sajad Ahmad Kumar, told Le Monde."He was deployed near the front line with the Russian army. I spoke to him on December 26th. He cried constantly.

He believed he was going to work in security — but when he arrived, he was taken to a military training camp and then to the front lines.He died in a missile strike in Ukraine in late February, his family said.Mangukiya's father, Ashwin, told The Guardian that the family is "devasted" and that they are "still trying to get back his dead body."At least 26 Indian men have been tricked by recruitment videos by the YouTube channel Baba Vlogs, run by the Dubai-based Indian recruiter Faisal Khan, The Guardian said.The channel falsely advertised military helper jobs that would not involve fighting on the front lines.Khan told The Guardian that he had been "misled" by a Russian intermediary about the position and said he had "no idea they would be sent to a war zone.""We are trying to get these people out of there now," he said.Similar tactics have been used on Nepalese citizens. Speaking to The Guardian from an army hospital in Russia, Nandaram Pun, from the Rolpa district in Nepal, said that he had been offered a job in Germany and was told to go to Russia as a transit stop.But like many others, he said he was taken to a military camp shortly after arriving in Moscow. He was later sent to Bakhmut in Ukraine, where he became injured in a drone attack."We had no idea about the drone attacks. My legs, thighs and right hand were hit by shrapnel," he said. "I don't want to be cured, because if they think I am better, then they will send me back to war again."Pun said he had attempted to contact the Nepalese authorities in the hope of being rescued, but he had received no help.<h2>India and Nepal's reactions have been completely different</h2>The apparent coercive tactics used by Russia are significant, not just for those involved, but for Russia's respective relations with India and Nepal.While Nepal has historically had a <a target="_blank" href="https://mofa.gov.np/nepal-russia-relations/">friendly relationship</a> with Russia, the government has pushed back against its citizens being recruited.<div type="image" title="Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin meets with Nepal's then-Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal in 2010" height="1380" width="1840" msid="108307228" hostid="261" sizebytes="193640"></div>In December, a spokesperson for the Nepal government said in a statement that it had requested the Russian government to "immediately return" the bodies of six Nepalese nationals killed in the war and pay compensation to their families, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/nepal-urges-russia-not-recruit-its-citizens-into-army-says-six-killed-2023-12-05/">Reuters reported</a>.In February, the government <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/05/nepal-bans-citizens-from-working-in-russia-or-ukraine-after-deaths-in-military">barred citizens</a> from working in Russia or Ukraine after the death toll increased to 12, and countless others were reported missing from the front lines.A spokesperson for Nepal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs told The Guardian they were working "constantly" to bring its citizens home.While the exact number of Nepalese people still fighting in Russia is not known, the spokesperson said 245 families had filed petitions claiming that they had a relative trapped in the army, while five others have been recorded as prisoners of war by Ukraine.India's reactions to the situation appeared to be less confrontational.<div type="image" title="Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2016" height="1324" width="1765" msid="108307232" hostid="261" sizebytes="136954"></div>"We are aware that a few Indian nationals have signed up for support jobs with the Russian army," a spokesperson for the Indian Government said in a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.mea.gov.in/response-to-queries.htm?dtl/37653/Official_Spokespersons_response_to_media_queries_regarding_Indians_caught_in_conflict_in_Russia">statement</a> on February 23."The Indian Embassy has regularly taken up this matter with the relevant Russian authorities for their early discharge."The spokesperson urged all Indian nationals to "exercise due caution and stay away from this conflict," but did not make an official ban.India's relationship with Russia has only appeared to strengthen since the invasion of Ukraine, as it did not join the EU, the US, and other Western countries in imposing sanctions.The leaders of the two countries have also made public exchanges during this period.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Armenia has been ordering more weapons, turning to France and India for air-defense systems.</li><li>Armenia is a longtime ally of Russia, but it has leaned away from Moscow in recent years.</li></ul>In recent weeks, Armenia has ordered air-defense systems and radars from France and was reported to have ordered anti-drone systems from India.Those orders come amid heightened tensions with neighboring Azerbaijan, with which Armenia has fought several conflicts, including a short clash in September that ended with Azerbaijan conquering the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, causing its 120,000 ethnic-Armenian residents to flee.The acquisitions are notable not only for their timing but also because they show Armenia is taking tangible steps to lessen its dependency on military hardware from Russia, a longtime ally that has offered Yerevan little support against mounting pressure from Azerbaijan.Armenia's six-week war with Azerbaijan in 2020 captured worldwide attention for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/drones-in-armenia-azerbaijan-war-raises-doubt-about-tanks-future-2020-11">Azerbaijan's use of aerial drones</a>. At a press conference to announce the sale in October, France's defense minister said air defenses were "<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/france-boost-armenias-air-defences-with-radars-missiles-minister-2023-10-23/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">absolutely key</a>" and that Paris was aiding Yerevan with sales of three Thales GM 200 radars and an agreement on the future delivery of short-range Mistral air-defense missiles.<div type="image" title="Armenia Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict" height="1362" width="2500" msid="106166596" hostid="261"></div>"Armenia's choice to order air-defense systems from France is a significant one," James Rogers, an expert on <a href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=9412f7e5e68500052fc2b51d4713b6330d2851a57aa3d8aafc43aea2854e70f6&amp;postID=658218f6c2e850280a81327e&amp;postSlug=armenia-buying-french-indian-weapons-drifting-away-from-ally-russia-2023-12&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FPrecision-American-James-Patton-Rogers%2Fdp%2F1526125889" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drones and precision warfare</a>, told Business Insider. "Not only does it highlight to Russia that Armenia has options when it comes to defense cooperation, but it marks a major leap forward in Armenia's attempts to modernize its military."Reports in early November indicated Yerevan was also buying <a href="https://www.rferl.org/a/armenia-india-weapons-anti-drone/32679654.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more weaponry from India</a>, including Zen anti-drone systems, which <a href="https://www.zentechnologies.com/anti-drone-system-counter-drone-cuas.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">are designed</a> to detect and bring down enemy drones. Armenia previously bought four Indian-made Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launchers in 2022, the first foreign order of that system.Nicholas Heras, the senior director of strategy and innovation at the New Lines Institute, told Business Insider that Armenia was advancing its foreign and national security policies on two tracks."One track is to build defense alliances with more powerful outside actors in Eurasia, and the second track is to improve the Armenian military's ability to defend against Azeri airpower in tactical engagements," Heras said. "India, in particular, is a prized defense partner with Armenia because India has a large defense industry that can also arm and improve Russian weapons platforms which Armenia deploys."<div type="image" title="Azerbaijan Armenia military vehicles" height="1333" width="2000" msid="106166597" hostid="261"></div>Armenia's military arsenal has long been predominantly Russian, but Yerevan has attempted to change that as its relations with Moscow have soured, especially after its devastating defeat in the 2020 war, during which Azerbaijan used Israeli- and Turkish-made weapons.Russia has failed to aid Armenia despite Yereven's membership in the Moscow-led Collective Security Treaty Organization. In addition to being <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wagner-putin-uprising-as-russian-military-tied-down-in-ukraine-2023-6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tied down by the war in Ukraine</a>, Russia is most likely irked by Armenia moving closer to Washington and the West under Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who has long questioned the value of CSTO membership."Armenia's partnership with Russia is at a low ebb, and Pashinyan is pushing forward, slowly but surely, to bring Armenia closer to NATO, including the prospect of normalizing Armenia's relations with Turkey," Heras said.Heras added that over the past two years, the US had been sending "a strong signal" that it "would like to test out the prospect for a more strategic US-Armenian security relationship."<div type="image" title="US Armenia military exercise Eagle Partner" height="1130" width="2000" msid="106166598" hostid="261"></div>Washington and Yerevan seemed to demonstrate mutual interest in closer defense relations in September when Armenia hosted a bilateral exercise focused on training for peacekeeping operations.Eighty-five US troops trained alongside 175 Armenia personnel during the drill, which was "a testament to our longstanding partnership with Armenia and builds upon decades of successful peacekeeping and security cooperation," the US Embassy in Armenia said in a statement.Russia, predictably, <a href="https://www.rferl.org/a/armenia-military-exercises-us-russian-opposition/32587572.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opposed the exercise</a>, and Yerevan has kept its distance since then. Pashinyan skipped the organization's summit in mid-November, a move <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-armenia-skipping-csto-summit-is-latest-anti-russian-move-orchestrated-by-2023-11-15/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russia accused the West of orchestrating</a>.Armenia under Pashinyan has tried to move away from Russia "by building a web of strategic partnerships," Heras said. "Fundamentally, Pashinyan does not want to depend on Russia to ensure Armenia's territorial integrity and security, and his effort to build the relationship with the United States works toward this goal."Acquiring weaponry from other countries serves a similar purpose, but Armenia's recent purchases also reflect the sensitivity of its international position.<div type="image" title="Armenia Nagorno-Karabakh refugee" height="1334" width="2000" msid="106166599" hostid="261"></div>The Mistral missile has a relatively short range of 4 miles, suggesting the sale is meant to bolster Armenia's arsenal but was made with potential political backlash in mind. Turkey <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/turkey-armenia-france-arm-sales-provocation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has criticized</a> French arms sales to Yerevan. (Azerbaijan<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/azerbaijan-says-france-laying-ground-new-regional-war-by-arming-armenia-2023-11-21/"> has also criticized</a> the recent French and <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-12-06/azerbaijan-warns-weapons-supplies-to-armenia-may-trigger-new-war" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian arms sales</a> to Armenia.)Rogers said that "range is important in war" and that it enabled strikes on a wider set of targets. "In order not to destabilize the region or risk an outbreak of hostilities, therefore, Armenia and France have agreed to these short-range yet effective air-defense systems."Heras said that the main quandary facing Armenian foreign policy was it could not afford to sever ties with Russia despite recent tensions, but it also could not trust Russia to intervene on its side if there's another war with Azerbaijan. The need to strike a balance between Russia and new partners while bolstering its small military with limited resources complicates Armenia's task."Armenia needs to purchase weapons that improve its ability to pursue a 'porcupine strategy,'" making itself a more threatening target for Azerbaijan if the two countries go to war again, Heras said.Buying French and Indian short-range air-defense weapons that could be used by small infantry units is "a potentially cost-effective way to impose higher costs on Azerbaijan's drone airpower," Heras added.Paul Iddon is a freelance journalist and columnist who writes about Middle East developments, military affairs, politics, and history.

A Russian ally's purchase of French and Indian weapons is another sign Moscow is losing influence in its neighborhood

New Delhi [India], August 4 (ANI): India's <keyword id="21307504" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="outbound-tourism" source="keywords">outbound tourism</keyword> market is expected to reach USD 18817.72 million (USD 18.81 billion) in 2024 and grow at a <keyword id="20256055" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="CAGR" source="keywords">CAGR</keyword> of 11.4 per cent in the decade between 2024 and 2034 to reach approximately USD 55388.41 million (USD 55.38 billion), highlighted a FICCI-Nangia knowledge paper. The paper titled '<keyword id="22661864" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Navigating-Horizons" source="Orion">Navigating Horizons</keyword>: <keyword id="22661865" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="The-Rise-and-Future-of-Indian-Outbound-Tourism" source="Orion">The Rise and Future of Indian Outbound Tourism</keyword>', released during the '3rd Outbound Tourism Summit' here in the FICCI office earlier this week, asserted that few emerging markets and opportunities for outbound <keyword id="19916662" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="travel" source="keywords">travel</keyword> include various Southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, African and Eastern European countries. India's online travel market, which consists of sales of travel services through online channels, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5 per cent between 2024-29, from USD 17.24 billion to USD 28.40 billion. International travel has thus been eased by the steady growth in affordable technology, states the paper. It further states that the government administration and the tourism industry stakeholders in India may undertake various strategic interventions to promote the outbound tourism market. These include bilateral engagement; improved connectivity; support to travel industry stakeholders; marketing of international destinations; curated packages; and hospitality partnerships, among others. Speaking at the launch of the report, Mary M Mutuku, Deputy High Commissioner of Kenya to India said that Kenya is not only committed to deepen the relations between India and Kenya but also promoting Kenya as a preferred tourist destination. "Currently, the India market is among the top 5 Kenya's key sources of tourists, and this has the potential to grow even further," she said in her brief address. To attract more <keyword id="110519" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-tourists" source="Orion">Indian tourists</keyword> to Kenya, Mutuku stated that Kenya has put in place the necessary infrastructure to ease travel in the country. "With an increase in the number of flights between the two countries along with the opening of the Nairobi Expressway, tourists will have more convenience traveling in Kenya. A new cruise terminal at Mombasa port is a major boost to cruise tourism. The berth targets to enhance passenger handling capacity as well as allow for an increased volume of cruise ships arrival at the port," she added. Seitenov Darkhan, Deputy Ambassador, Embassy of Kazakhstan to India had said, "We have huge potential for mutual and beneficial cooperation in the tourism sector. There has been significant growth in the number of tourists coming to Kazakhstan from India which is also due to offering 14 days visa-free regime for Indian tourists along with an increase in a number of direct flights." While highlighting the investment potential for Indian industry, Darkhan further said that in order to meet the needs of Indian tourists in Kazakhstan, it would be advisable to consider building a network of Indian hotels and restaurants in the major cities in Kazakhstan. "We invite major Indian investors to participate in implementing these initiatives in our country," he added. Geshan Dissanayake, Minister Commercial, High Commission of Sri Lanka in India said, "The strong shared heritage between India and Lanka forms the bedrock of our bilateral relationship. India alone stands out as a key source market for Sri Lanka. The integration of the Indian UPI payment system with 'LankaPay' has made simplified payment options for Indian tourists visiting Sri Lanka," he added. Dissanayake further stated that to fully realize the potential of outbound tourism there is a need to focus on marketing and promotion of various offerings by Sri Lanka; infrastructure development; promoting sustainable tourism and further streamlining the visa process. Working together, we can unlock the potential of outbound tourism between India and Sri Lanka," he added. Jyotsna Suri, Past President, of FICCI and CMD, The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group stated that any country has to have healthy inbound and outbound tourism. "<keyword id="644076" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-tourism" source="Orion">Indian tourism</keyword> has witnessed a major growth in the last few years and while we are at the threshold of massive growth, we must be cognizant of sustainability as well," she added. Ankush Nijhawan, Chairman, of FICCI Outbound Tourism Committee and Co-Founder, TBO.com and MD, of Nijhawan Group said that the global travel and tourism industry is expected to reach USD 2.6 trillion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 8.2 per cent. "Traveler preferences are becoming increasingly diverse, and demand tailor-made travel services. Demographic boost, government support, increased connectivity, and niche segment growth are powering India's outbound travel boom," he added. Representatives from the Embassy of Madagascar to India, the Embassy of Georgia to India, the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board, Singapore Tourism Board also shared their perspectives during the session.

Terming the present UK travel restrictions as discrimatory, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan said that "we have the right to reciprocate in the same manner". However, the British High Commissioner to India Alex Ellis said that Covishield vaccine is not a problem and the UK is open to travel. "We're clear Covishield is not a problem. The UK is open to travel and we're already seeing a lot of people going from India to the UK, be it tourists, business people or students".
