religious hatred towards minorities, particularly Hindus, in Bangladesh following the fall of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's government. Attacks against minority groups, including the approximately 12 million Hindus, have resulted in many casualties. A number of groups in Bangladesh have held protest marches, including those representing Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity. While the situation is returning to an uneasy normal, what is surprising is almost no world leader spoke out against it. Would the international community's response have been different if the victims had been Muslims, Christians, or Jews instead of Hindus? With increasing polarisation around the world on a range of issues, the most visible and widening split is now based on religion, notably between Abrahamic and non-Abrahamic faiths.

Is it pasta-de Nadal — a pasta liked by the tennis maestro? I started reading the phrase 'Pastel de Nata' in a couple of British food columns. I still wasn't paying attention, so I continued to think this PdN was a) Spanish, b) a savoury. Then I read some descriptions that identified it as 'a sweedish item', as my school mess manager used to call desserts and puddings. Finally, I understood that this 'Swedish' item was Portuguese. Last year in Oxford, I saw something called a pasteleria — Portuguese for bakery — had opened, and there was a long queue outside. Walking past it one day, I saw the queue wasn't there so I leapt in. 'Hi, can I please have one of those...?'

Elections in Maharashtra may be held only after Diwali, i.e. after November 2, according to the Times of India. Notably, a new government in Maharashtra needs to be constituted before November 26, the end date of the current administration's tenure. The Election Commission of India has announced election dates for Jammu and Kashmir and Haryana but not for Maharashtra. Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar cited security concerns in Jammu and Kashmir as the primary reason for deferring Maharashtra's elections. Additionally, he mentioned that the updating of the voter list in Maharashtra was delayed due to the ongoing monsoon season. The state is also currently engaged in significant cultural and religious activities, including Ganesh Chaturthi, Pitru Paksha, and Diwali, which complicates the electoral process if elections are held immediately. Sources within the ruling party indicated the importance of smooth observance of Janmashtami and the Ganesh festival. They noted that Pitru Paksha, a period in which no auspicious work is undertaken, follows these festivals. «Navratri is a busy season and then Dussera, which will be followed by Diwali. Festivities end on November 2, and the election campaign can be taken up from November 3,» they added.
