...same time, how many reference works do you know that can give advice on pairing wine not merely with Indian dishes, but to varieties as specific as Gujarati vegetarian and coastal west Indian? None, of course. And there are probably no other books that can tell you which wine to choose when ordering Korean soup not simply as an accompaniment but as a main meal (the answer is a Côtes du Rhône Villages, a sparkling wine or a dry rosé), or what to pair with northern Chinese offal dishes (try a Cahors or Madiran).

KUTCH, India — In the rural region of Kutch in Northwest India, 140 kids—preschoolers through 7th graders—travel to Sadhu Vaswani School six days a week to learn math, science, social studies, English, Gujarati, Hindi, and basic computer skills.

It is a dramatic move after seven years of Gujarati courts' dismissing hundreds of cases and acquitting the accused. It also provides ammunition for the opponents of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), where Modi is a superstar...
...archrival, the ruling Congress Party, immediately demanded Modi's resignation. But the BJP dismissed such calls, with general secretary Arun Jaitley claiming, "There is nothing against Modi," and that none of the investigations conducted by the Gujarati government had cited him. Jaitley also hinted at a conspiracy behind the timing of the court ruling, claiming that in the past, various reports targeting the BJP have been released at critical phases of elections. (Several key states have yet to vote.) Many observers point out, however, that most of these types of decisions actually came out in the BJP's favor...
