India’s supreme court has upheld the legality of the government’s Aadhaar system, the world’s
largest biometric database containing the personal information of more than a billion Indians.
The apex court's five-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra said
Aadhaar is meant to help benefits reach the marginalised sections of the society and takes into
account the dignity of people not only from personal but also from the community point of view.
The top court said Aadhaar is serving much bigger public interest and Aadhaar means unique
and it is better to be unique than being best.

INDIA SUCCESSFULLY TEST FIRES INDIGENOUS BEYOND VISUAL RANGE AIR-TO-AIR MISSILE
The Indian Air Force (IAF) has successfully conducted a pre-induction trial of the indigenously
designed and developed Astra beyond visual range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM). With a speed of
Mach 4.5, the missile’s maximum range when fired from an altitude of 15,000 meters is about
110 kilometers, which is reduced to about 44 kilometers when launched at an altitude of 8,000
meters. Fitted with a high-explosive pre-fragmented warhead, the missile uses an inertial
guidance system with an active radar seeker with a homing range of 25 kilometers.

INDIAN COURT RULES SABARIMALA TEMPLE MUST ALLOW ALL WOMEN ENTRY
India's top court revoked a ban on women entering a temple following a 20-year legal battle,
ruling that patriarchy cannot be allowed to trump faith. The decision is the latest by the
Supreme Court in recent weeks to reflect a more liberal outlook in the largely conservative and
traditional society of 1.25 billion people.

horizon and enjoy the weightlessness. These are some of the
freakish experiences that completely contain you as you go
paragliding in Bir-Billing– an off-beat village in Himachal,

villages nearby, and relish the awesomeness. Bir-Billing

\ 3. Lahaul & Spiti, Himachal: The valley of life and awesomeness
The fact that you can only travel to Lahaul & Spiti before the onset of winter makes them the best place to
travel in October in India. Enjoy the wide and variety of flora and fauna found in Pin Valley National Park,
catch the breathtaking view of the Milky Way galaxy lying under stars, and take the challenge of completing
the Spiti Trek all at Lahaul & Spiti. Because nothing is as beautiful as the unscathed beauty of nature.
