Osama bin Laden wanted to attack India years before 9/11, CIA file reveals
SUMMARY
Declassified CIA files reveal that Osama bin Laden had plans to attack India years before the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. The documents indicate bin Laden viewed India as a target due to its policies in Kashmir and its alliance with Western nations. Al-Qaeda reportedly explored operations against Indian interests, reflecting its broader anti-Western and jihadist agenda.

US $100K OPT fee proposal clears White House review: How Indian students could be affected and what happens next
SUMMARY
The Trump administration's proposal to impose a $100K fee on Optional Practical Training (OPT) applications has cleared White House review. OPT allows international students, predominantly Indians, to work in the US post-graduation for up to 3 years in STEM fields. If enacted, this steep fee could deter Indian students from pursuing US education and employment, severely impacting their career plans. The proposal now moves to the federal rulemaking process, including public comment periods, before potential finalization.
