India is home to over 1.2 billion people of wildly varying religions, cultures and levels of wealth. Only 61 years since declaring its Independence from English rule, modern India is still defining itself, sometimes against the friction inside and outside of its borders. Recent newsworthy events in India include vast Monsoon flooding, conflicts in still-disputed Kashmir, and religious clashes between Hindus and Christians - and celebrations conducted by Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh and more. Devotees carry a statue of the Hindu elephant god Ganesh, An artisan gives finishing touches to an idol of the Hindu Goddess Durga People carry earthen water pots as they take part in a Jhulelal Chaliha procession A policeman throws stones at protestors Catholic nuns from the Missionaries of Charity order A Theyyam dancer waits to perform Monsoon rains have caused a great deal of flooding throughout low-lying regions of India. |
