...PAKISTAN Thirst for Change Two bomb blasts rocked the city of Karachi at the start of a one-day strike to protest government policies. The attacks, which killed one person and injured two others, followed overnight rioting during which police arrested 238 people. It was unclear whether the blasts were connected to the strike called by two regional groups to protest political and social issues, including the government's failure to deal with a chronic water shortage...

Pilgrimages were festive occasions, with families or friends traveling together and camping overnight in the hills around the city and singing cheerful sacred songs outside the Temple. Although parts of the sacrifice would be immolated for the Lord or consumed by the priests, others would be cooked and shared by the pilgrims, who ate little meat the rest of the year. "Not only would they offer this very scarce protein...
