Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests
- Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

- The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

livemint.com/news/india/ram-navami-2024-surya-tilak-illuminates-ram-lallas-forehead-pm-modi-says-emotional-moment-for-me-watch-11713342473566.html
Quick Glance: Historic Event: Fusion of Science and Celebration at Ram Lalla's Surya Tilak
- The Surya Tilak ceremony for Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's Ram Mandir was a remarkable event that signified a significant turn after 500 years. Followers gathered to witness the event on the auspicious day of Ram Navami as the temple doors opened early in the morning. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust extended the darshan period, stressing that no special arrangements were made for the day.
- During the Surya Abhishek or Surya Tilak ceremony, the sun's rays delicately touched the forehead of Ram Lalla. This remarkable occurrence was enabled by a sophisticated mechanism involving mirrors and lenses, symbolizing deep reverence. Developed by researchers from IIT-Roorkee, the device precisely directed sunlight onto the deity at noon, showcasing precision and devotion.
- At the Ram Navami festival, followers could engage in darshan from the early hours of the morning, commencing with the Shringaar Aarti of Ram Lalla at 5 a.m. Offerings were presented at the temple exit after the Shayan Aarti. Emphasis was placed on securely storing belongings outside the temple premises to facilitate the darshan process.
- Ram Janmabhoomi is celebrating a grand event for the second time after the pran pratishtha ceremony. Ram Navami is being celebrated with grandeur at Ram Mandir, featuring offerings of 56 types of bhog, prasad, and panjiri. Chief priest Acharya Satyendra Das affirmed that all arrangements for the celebration are overseen by the Trust, with Ram Navami being joyously commemorated.

washingtonpost.com/world/2024/04/22/modi-india-muslims-infiltrators/
Quick Glance: Outrage over India's Modi Calling Muslims 'Infiltrators'
- India's main opposition Congress party has filed a complaint with the Election Commission accusing Hindu nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi of 'blatantly targeting' minority Muslims in a campaign speech.
- Modi falsely claimed that a previous government had stated that 'Muslims have the first right over the nation's wealth'. He said if Congress won, 'it will be distributed among those who have more children [Muslims]. It will be distributed to the infiltrators.'
- The Prime Minister is facing accusations of Islamophobia, and his BJP party has falsely claimed that Muslims have a higher birth rate.
- Modi's tenure has seen brazen attacks against minorities, particularly Muslims, from hate speech to lynchings. Critics say India's democracy is faltering as the press, political opponents, and courts face growing threats, and Modi has increasingly blurred the line between religion and state.
