It seems perfumed water would flow in these channels so that the queens and the Emperor could enjoy the fragrance and cool breeze. With Aurangzeb coming to power, the Mughal dynasty’s decline started and … Read more
Just a week back the Supreme court upheld the “death penalty” for four of the rapists in the Nirbhaya case.

Just 16 months back, the Chennai floods happened…. nearly 1500+ people lost their lives and the city was submerged for four days.

A dear friend of mine shared this blog/article by a New Zealander about why there is corruption in India.
