Weird to see two wildly different news related to India.

One about a famous Indian charlatan (a.k.a "guru"; the guru industry is most flourishing these days):

> Rajneesh Pleads Guilty to Sham Marriages, to Leave U.S. Immediately

> Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh pleaded guilty Thursday to arranging sham marriages, agreeing to leave the United States immediately. In a plea bargain, Rajneesh received a suspended 10-year prison sentence and was fined $300,000, which includes $140,000 in prosecution costs.

and another about a well known (I guess across the world?) plane crash:

> Explosion Implicated in Air-India Jumbo Jet Crash

> India's director of air safety announced that an explosion in the cargo hold apparently caused the crash of an Air-India Jumbo jet last June, killing all 329 people aboard the flight from Canada to Bombay.

Note: this ^ was unseated as the deadliest act of aviation terrorism until 9/11 decades later.
