DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN?

How much do you know about current events in India and the U.S.? Try this short quiz!

1. An Indian-American businesswoman was arrested in Mountain View, California, for allegedly staging a home invasion to force a family out of the apartment she had rented to them.

2. An Indian-American hotelier and property developer, charged with stealing luggage at Memphis International Airport, told a police officer that he did it for the thrill of it.

3. Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna joined the Congressional Pakistan Caucus, saying he wants to promote peace and stability in the India-Pakistan region.

4. 74-year-old woman gave birth to twin girls in Andhra Pradesh.

5. India’s finance minister blamed millennials who use Ola and Uber for flagging sales in the country’s automobile industry.

 

 

(All five really happened.)
