Indian Village Bans

At a time when political parties are going the extra mile to appeal to voters across the country, locals in this Gujarat village feel that allowing candidates to campaign would adversely affect the region, and have, therefore, brought in a ban on political campaigning.

A village in Uttar Pradesh has announced a fine of Rs 21,000 for women seen talking on the mobile phone in public - which, astonishingly, has been listed as a "crime" along with drinking, gambling and cow slaughter.

PM Modi's decision rattled the world's second-most populous nation, where cash dominates day-to-day life.

The fishermen from the coastal villages in Tamil Nadu would put out to sea early morning tomorrow with the 45-day ban on fishing coming to an end today.

Ten years after the Indian Ocean tsunami, foreign tourists who survived the crushing waves still return to the Thai beaches where thousands lost loved ones, seeking recovery and solace.

The Indian flag was unfurled after the International Olympic Committee revoked the ban on Indian Olympic Association after a 14-months.
