Hate crimes targeting Asians in the United States increased by 149% between 2019 and 2020, despite a nationwide decrease in total hate crimes during the same period. The recent rise has been linked to vicious rhetoric and xenophobia from political leaders in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. But the roots of Anti-Asian racism in policy date back to the Page Act of 1875, which demonized and fetishized Asian women in an effort block them from entering the United States....

The lion hearted Nitu continued her dominance in the squared-ring as she breezed past local lass Nillada Meekoon comprehensively to stamp her authority on the gold and pave the way for the others after India’s first summit clash. In the 64 kg high-octane final, Manisha had to toil it out against Idimokh Kholova of Tajikistan as it went down to the wire and the Indian eked out the win via split verdict (3-2) and secured India’s second gold....

Trump is defining himself as the law and order candidate ahead of November, suggesting the nation will not be safe if he is defeated by Biden. The Democratic presidential candidate has rebuked Trump’s attacks, suggesting crises “keep multiplying” while the Republican is in the White House. “We need a President who will stop violence — not incite it,” Biden tweeted Monday, suggesting “we are all less safe because Donald Trump has failed at his job....

The home team started the day on 133 for 3 and were trailing by 3 runs. Mitchell Johnson started the day with two early blows and soon England were in trouble.

Ali scored 59 and Broad added 31 as England made 281 in their first innings....

Coming into the second Test match at Lord’s, Australia decided to rotate their fast bowlers by resting James Pattinson and getting in Josh Hazlewood, who has had enormous success at this venue in the past. Undoubtedly, the biggest talking point ahead of the match was the debut of Jofra Archer, who replaced an injured James Anderson. Left-arm spinner Jack Leach, who was fantastic in the one-off Test at the same venue against Ireland, replaced an out-of-form Moeen Ali....

Pattinson played his first Test in over three years in the opening match of the series at Edgbaston after injury issues had hampered his international career. Despite their impressive victory in Birmingham, the tourists have looked at the bigger picture by giving the paceman a rest in London, Langer announcing Hazlewood - who has had injury troubles of his own of late - has got the nod over Mitchell Starc in the final XI....

In case you didn’t know… After initially taking a blow to the arm, the 30-year-old batsman was hit on the back of the neck by a vicious Jofra Archer bouncer when he was batting on 80. As a result, Smith was forced to retire hurt until he came back again to bat after clearance from the team doctor. However, he fell eight short of his third century in the ongoing Ashes series....

However, The Last of Us’ HBO show has an opportunity to share the subtextual detail and lore of such characters. The show’s lore may not necessarily affect the canonical lore from the games, but it is still a great way for fans to see context they did not have. It is rumored that Ashley Johnson will be playing Ellie’s mother in the show, and if so that is another paramount character who will finally have screen time allotted to them....

During an interview with ANI, the former India captain highlighted that Kohli looked in good touch in his comeback game. He opined that the star batter just needs to be more sure about his shots in the upcoming fixtures. He pointed out that while India’s No.3 got a reprieve early in his innings after Fakhar Zaman put down a difficult chance at second slip, he managed to stay at the crease for a long time....

With a total of six of the best Asian sides locking horns against each other, the Asia Cup 2022 is expected to be a high-octane tournament. This year’s Asia Cup will be a T20I event since it will provide the teams with a significant opportunity to warm up before the ICC T20 World Cup, scheduled to take place in Australia later this year.

Going by the latest FIFA rankings, Australia is the second-highest AFC ranked nation, only behind Iran. However, the Caltex Socceroos can’t afford to take their title defense lightly.

The Jalandhar lad had to return to India to undergo further tests and could play no further part in the competition.

Renowned hockey statistician BG Joshi has confirmed for Sportskeeda that the Indian men have played against Indonesia only once - that was way back in the Ahmedabad Invitational tournament in 1962. The Indonesian hockey team has qualified for the competition by virtue of being hosts just as they did in 1962 when Jakarta hosted the Games for the first time. Back then, India who ended up as the silver-medalists were placed in Group A while the Indonesians were in Group B....

Indonesian goalie Selly Florentina made some outstanding saves to restrict the Indian tally to 8 goals when it could have been much higher considering the fact that the Golden Girls were lodged in the opposition circle for pretty much the entire match. At the other end, Savita and Rajani had little to do as the hosts made occasional forays into Indian territory and most often lost possession long before they could pose the slightest threat to the Indian citadel....

Like yesterday, India had two matches scheduled in the day but the one most looked forward to was against Pakistan. Things panned out well early in the day for the Velavan and company when they got past Iran 3-0 with Abhay Singh setting the tone and Velavan Senthilkumar providing the finishing touch for the winning margin and Aryaman Adik ensuring the 3-0 verdict.

Ajay Thakur and his men had the upper hand over the entire course of the match as they coasted along comfortably, picking points in attack and defence regularly. India made one change to the side that started in the semifinal against South Korea as Mohit Chhillar was replaced by all-rounder Sandeep Narwal on the right corner....

Dr. Woolery-Lloyd: There are two main things you can do. One is to try to seek out an expert who specializes in or has experience with what you’re concerned about. For example, some dermatologists treat a lot of hair loss or see a lot of psoriasis, but others don’t. Someone with specific expertise will be better suited to diagnose and treat your condition. That said, seeking out an expert is easier in a city or urban location, where there is more choice available to you....
