Ayodhya is set to become India’s first Vedic city by reviving the Ancient Intelligence (AI) that prevailed during the Golden Age between whichever dates the RSS prefers in its history books. All locals and visitors to Ayodhya will be classified into multiple categories (as per the algorithms of divine discrimination) and treated in accordance with their ranks, which means minimal disruption of status quo. Computer centres in the city are likely to be repurposed into yajna bhumi (where one can sacrifice time, money and common sense) so that Ayodhya can go back to producing more priests than engineers.
Meanwhile, the UN Conference of Posturing, also known as COP OUT 28, is underway in Dubai. This year’s event involves the installation of a special pavilion where the world’s leading climate thinkers will devise ways to cool the planet by harnessing the renewable power of hashtags. Several world leaders have opted to attend virtually in order to avoid lying in person, whereas Greta Thunberg has announced her attempt to drastically reduce her carbon footprint by cycling her way from Sweden to Dubai.
Elsewhere, the ceasefire between Israeli forces and Hamas ends after the latter’s biggest pressure group, Iranian influencers, runs out of content for its followers.
