Hindu students retaliated by sporting saffron shawls as a sign of protest. Leading to nationwide churning. Last week the Bommai BJP Government invoked 133 (2) of the Karnataka Education Act-1983, which states a uniform style of clothes has to be worn compulsorily in…

Jungfrau A. Bietschhorn This region is a magnificent area with high mountain ranges, glaciers and is actually the most glaciated part of the European Alps. Visiting this area can be done relatively easy by car and if you want to go up, by train up to 3,400 metres above sea level, the highest train ride in Europe, the Jungfrau Railway is very impressive (and expensive!). The area is on the UNESCO World Heritage list because of its unique and wide range of flora and fauna and geological importance regarding the creating of the High Alps.
