1. A Durga Puja pandal in West Bengal portrayed Donald Trump as a demon.
2. California became the third state to make Diwali a statewide holiday, following Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
3. The NFL announced plans to play a regular season game in Mumbai in 2027.
4. The number of student visas awarded in August to Indian students dropped by almost 45 percent compared to August 2024.
5. Kondareddypally, Telangana, became South India’s first—and India’s second—100 percent solar-powered village.
(1, 2, 4 and 5 really happened.)
