Construction of proposed mosque in Ayodhya likely to begin in May
Ayodhya mandated by the Supreme Court in its Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case verdict is expected to begin in May, people associated with the project have said.

India's surging share valuations enter a demanding zone
BSE Sensex was valued 24.8 times the earnings of its 30 constituents. This average monthly price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of the Sensex has been higher than this only about 20% of the time since 1990.
