A decent book on ancient India is A.L. Basham's "The Wonder That Was India" in case anybody is interested.

Interesting to observe India gets to benefit from the softening of relationship between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/kanchi-seer-jayendra-saraswathi-a-spiritual-colossus-till-his-arrest-in-2004/articleshow/63106383.cms
Seer of the Kanchi Mutt Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal died yesterday. He was like living god. Prime ministers and presidents prostrate in front of him. (It seems Subramanian Swamy can sit on par with Swamiji but not even president can sit because they cannot as per varnasram dharma).

When this guy was arrested for murder of another temple servant, Pranab Mukherjee was fuming with anger

"Mukherjee cites the arrest of Jayendra Saraswati, the Shankaracharya of Kanchi, on November 12, 2004, as one episode that best “exemplifies my temper.”

Interesting news no one probably read about....the failed escape of the Princess of Dubai/UAE. Interesting that Indian forces were involved in this.

Was this even news in India?

Couldn't find the Good News from India Thread :
So heartening to see a young teacher making such an impact in a Govt School!
Kudos to the new media Puthiya Thalaimarai(New Generation) for covering this, and hopefully Govt acts!

[h=1]Don’t go, sir!: TN students cling on to their teacher, refuse to accept his transfer[/h]
The students created a barrier with their love and affection for Bhagawan as he walked out with his transfer order, one student even hugging him from the back, refusing to let him leave.
A young man in a simple grey shirt and grey pants is surrounded by students – all of them crying, hanging on to him, holding him back. G Bhagawan, the beloved English teacher of the Government High School in Veliagaram, Thiruvallur, was given a transfer order, and the students of the school were heartbroken. They created a barrier with their love and affection for the 28-year-old – one student even hugging him from the back, refusing to let him leave. Touched, Bhagawan, too, was crying as much as his students.
The pictures of this emotional moment were published in the media and by news channel Puthiya Thalaimurai, and the students’ gesture moved even the bureaucracy. G Bhagawan was transferred to the Government High School in Arungulam near Tiruttani – but this deployment has now been put on hold for ten days, after which it will be decided if he should stay in Veliagaram school or go to the new school.

[QUOTE]An Indian woman has been detained after a dead infant was found on board a domestic flight from Guwahati in north-east India to the capital Delhi.
The cabin crew of the Air Asia flight found the baby minutes before the plane was supposed to land on Thursday.
They questioned all the female passengers aboard and a 19-year-old woman admitted to having given birth to the baby on the plane.
Police officials told the BBC the woman said she did not know she was pregnant.

Bit more details in this article: https://theprint.in/governance/gangraped-goats-autopsy-finds-human-semen-in-vulva-and-brain-injury/90679/

By the way, have read many veterans of Afghanistan state that the warlords/chieftains harem includes goats. Something about goats!
