The disproportionate severity of the punishments inflicted upon the […]

The land is tawny as far as the eye can see. On the Pune-Solapur expressway, mirages are puddles of molten glass, sluggish and viscous. The sky is a bleached blue and the sunshine merciless. This land holds death, and life, too. Off the road to Bijapur is Kusur village. This is border country, Adil Shahi country. The graffiti say Jai Maharashtra, but almost half the population speaks Kannada, too. The […]

Kaziranga, ASSAM — One challenge facing any visitor to one of India’s tiger parks is actually seeing a tiger. Often, people leave without ever catching a glimpse. For many years, the same problem existed for visitors who came to see the rhinoceroses at the Kaziranga National Park in the northeastern state of Assam.

If  Maharashtra is facing its worst drought in 40 years, can neighbouring Gujarat be far behind? The impending crisis — which has hit three of Gujarat’s six regions, Saurashtra, Kutch and north Gujarat — was obvious since December but it had managed to elude the eyes of the state government. And now, while chief minister Narendra Modi is busy selling his development model across the country, at home, thousands are […]

A rare white lion has made an appearance in an enclosure at a Hertfordshire wildlife park. The female cub was born at Paradise Wildlife Park near Broxbourne to parents Kya and Moto in late January. First-time father, Moto, was rejected by his own pride before coming to the park, the wildlife park said. Director Lynn Whitnall said: “We are at an early stage in her development but she is feeding […]

Archaeologists have uncovered a 1,500-year-old wine-pressing complex, which exceeds 100 square metres in area, in Israel among the ruins of an ancient Byzantine settlement. At the site near Hamei Yo’av, researchers found a ceramic lantern fashioned in the shape of a miniature  church and carved with crosses, suggesting the ancient wine factory was owned by a Christian.   The wine-making complex had compartments where the grapes were likely left to […]

Mei is one of Taiwan’s unwanted. The attractive, two-year-old Formosan Mountain Dog is friendly, up-to-date on all her shots, and spayed. In Canada, she would be an ideal candidate for adoption. But in Taiwan, the former stray spent months bouncing around shelter-to-shelter, unable to attract the interest of potential new owners. Adoption rates in that country are low, making it nearly impossible for mutts and dogs with disabilities to find […]
