Top headlines and why they matter

Kafeel Khan's detention reached the courts: the Supreme Court moved his petition to the Allahabad High Court. That decision shifts the next steps to a regional bench — worth watching if you follow protest rights and preventive detention cases.

The Supreme Court also raised tough questions about hospital fires in Gujarat and phone-tapping by the Chhattisgarh government. Those pieces flag public safety and legal processes that affect everyday trust in institutions. Read them if you care about safety standards and privacy safeguards.

On national policy, we covered Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s move on the three farm laws. April’s coverage explains what repeal meant politically and what farmers and markets could expect next. It’s a short guide to a big policy shift.

Culture, food and identity — lighter reads with sharp insights

Food stories in April proved popular. We asked why butter chicken became the most famous Indian dish outside India and broke down the mix of taste, familiarity and presentation that helped it travel. If you love food or run a restaurant, that post shows what makes a dish cross borders.

We also listed the best Indian snacks — pani puri, bhel puri, samosa and more — with quick notes on textures and flavors. Want to try making chaat at home or add crowd-pleasers to a menu? That article gives practical ideas.

Another culture piece looked at why traditional Indian meals rarely include sandwiches or salads. It’s a short read on eating habits, ingredient use, and how cuisines evolve when they meet new tastes.

One article asked a sharper social question: "What do you hate being an Indian?" It explores identity, stereotypes and everyday frustrations people report. It’s not comfortable, but the piece gives real voices and things to think about.

We also ran a historical take: who destroyed Air India and how? That post traces bad management, government choices, and rising private rivals. If you run a business, it’s a cautionary tale about management, competition, and adapting to change.
