Discussion»Questions»Current Events and News» What's the kind of main news items about India that you get in newspapers and news channels in your country? Please name your country.
I've seen a fair few..and fairly frequent too. The main ones seem to fall into the category of helping women, especially young girls who are disadvantaged, such as those who are sold at a very early age and sent into prostitution. There are various programmes to try to give them a better life and more independence. We also see a lot of tech type news as in how India now have a lot of the support jobs in computer support. There's a lot of cricket news too but I don't read that :P
There's an interesting article about how India and Pakistan separated to form two countries. I've heard a fair bit about that from both Indian and Pakistani people.. the two sides tell very different stories about who is at fault for the continuing conflict between the two
I love that you are in touch with at least knowing what the history may be. I say may be because I am not certain who did what to whom first, because these people have had a religious war going on since Muslims and Hindus began. And HINDUS came first, so you know they gotta be real pissed off. BUT? The Muslims have a PROPHET who will not acknowledge any other message than the clear one he knows is the VOICE OF GOD.
And? There's the rub, daydream, because one set of beliefs is in conflict with the EGOS of these highly religious people.
Daydream, I do not know how you embrace religion. I KNOW GOD. I would NEVER presume to tell you what I think about it. BUT? IF you tried to ever tell me not to pray for the reasons I pray? We are gonna rumble.
And that is what happened in very simplistic terms. But you don't need to know more. I just want you to know that I know this history quite well and your point lies elsewhere. The answer does.
It doesn't matter who started what because it goes back to forever. What this karma is about between these two peoples, these two tribes, is PRIMAL. And it is about the ego and the soul. If you wish to see it up close in the most beautiful movie ever that I think you would love? Try watching Gandhi. You just gotta see it.
That will tell you everything about Hindus and Muslims and the Bloody British. Anyway, Gandhi says in the movie -- as he is again starving himself to end this conflict between Pakistan and India, Muslim vs. Hindu,-- to am man that had killed a Muslim child: The man was Hindu and killed a small Muslim boy and asked Gandhi how GOD could EVER forgive this? Gandhi replied: Find a Muslim child whose parents were killed and raise him as your son.
WOW.
So, that is what they need to do. Surrender the past and live in the now and realize your brother is just like you and he is beautiful. God is in all of us and it does not matter how your brother worships God. You have no right to judge. You must worship God and you must not look around to how anyone else does it or if they even do.
Amen.
Hope that made sense.

If there was something about India in newspapers or news channels in the USA I missed it but our newspapers and news channels really don't have world news but then again I don't have enough patience to watch the national news on TV when it's all there when I sign into my email so if there was something about India on TV I completely missed it.
We have to go online to get world news so I find out what's going on in the rest of the world by going here: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/
I just read an article about students from India who are getting degrees in the US are choosing to return to India to use their education. Reasons for this included the growing economy in India and the uncertainty about immigration under Trump.
It's almost always about cricket. We play almost as badly there as they play here, we haven't won a Test series in India for 13 years and India have NEVER won a series in Australia.
We get the occasional story about political unrest, there was that gang rape in Delhi a few years back that hit the news, but it's mostly cricket.
