India: News, Culture, Food and Everyday Life

India is loud, colorful, and full of stories every day. From festival crowds at Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja to debates about a Supreme Court bench in the South, this tag collects clear, useful pieces about what’s happening across the country and for Indians abroad.

News & civic life

Looking for quick updates or deeper takes? We cover timely events—festival arrangements, court debates, and civic issues—with practical details. For example, Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja 2025 coverage explains online darshan times, VIP pass options, and prasad home delivery so you know how to plan a visit or watch from afar. On the legal side, the discussion about a South India Supreme Court bench breaks down the main points: better access for southern litigants, chances to ease case backlogs, and the logistical and constitutional hurdles to expect.

Food, culture & daily tips

Want food ideas or lifestyle tips? Read straightforward guides on popular Indian snacks like samosas, pakoras, and chaat, plus deeper lists of must-try dishes—biryani, butter chicken, palak paneer, and regional sweets. We also give practical advice on what vegetables pair well with Indian meals (think potatoes, eggplant, okra, spinach) and how to use them in simple curries or sides.

Thinking of moving to India or just curious what life feels like? Our pieces on living in India highlight the positives—strong culture, job opportunities in cities, improving infrastructure—and the trade-offs: crowded streets, pollution in some areas, and uneven access to healthcare and education. We aim to help you weigh those factors with short, honest snapshots instead of long opinions.

If you live outside India and want to stay connected, find practical tips on watching Indian TV from the USA. We summarize common options like satellite packages and streaming services so you can pick what fits your budget and shows you care about.

Sometimes topics overlap in surprising ways. For example, a post about who Pakistanis favor as India’s prime minister offers cultural context on cross-border perceptions—useful if you follow South Asian politics. And if you come across an article titled “Indian reservations,” note that it refers to Native American reservations in the U.S.—we include it for semantic reasons but clearly separate it from stories about India.

Use this tag as your quick hub: scan festival updates, catch cultural reads, learn a recipe idea, or get a short explainer about a public debate. Each story aims to be practical, short, and useful—no fluff, just the facts and tips you can act on.

Why is India so filthy?

Why is India so filthy?

India has long been known for its chaotic traffic, pollution, and general filth. Despite its rapid growth, the country is still struggling to keep up with its sanitation standards. The streets of many cities in India are filled with garbage and sewage, and the air is often filled with pollutants from factories and vehicles. The lack of adequate sanitation infrastructure and public hygiene is a major contributing factor to the ongoing decline in public health. Poor waste management, an aging sewage system, and an inadequate number of public toilets are also contributing factors. The government needs to take decisive action to improve the living conditions in India and ensure a better standard of living for its citizens.
