- India's caste system turned on its head
  Posted by theangryindian from Angryindian.blogspot
  A PARTY of "untouchables" took power in India's most populous state yesterday, the first time a political group championing Hinduism's lowest caste has headed a majority government in the country. The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) won 206 seats in the 403-seat assembly in Uttar Pradesh, a northern state home to 170 million people - more than the populations of Russia and Australia combined.

- Ah, The Power Of Bollywood
  Posted by Orato
  Mysore, India, April 30, 2007 --- My three-year-old daughter has three dolls and each of these “babies” has a different Daddy. Their names are ShahRukh Khan, Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, and they’re no ordinary men: Each one is, in his own right, a mega star of the Indian screen, a sort of God in a country that’s, for good or for bad, completely and utterly Bollywood-obsessed.

- Talks begin on Kashmir glacier
  Posted by Jeff from Al Jazeera
