At home, the orchestration of national celebrations around the Ram Temple at Ayodhya is hurtling the polity towards the creation of a majoritarian Hindu nation. At the same time, overtures are being made to Muslims. Prime Minister Modi has urged the entire nation to celebrate the consecration of the Ram Temple at Ayodhya on January 22 by lighting a "Ram Jyoti" (a lamp in honour of Ram) at home.

No import restrictions on certain IT products like desktop computers: DGFT
The government has clarified that there are no import restrictions on certain IT hardware products such as desktop computers. “The given import restriction does not apply to any other goods such as desktop computers, etc, under the tariff head 8471,” it said. The new “import management system” is aimed at monitoring shipments of laptops, tablets and computers into the country without hurting market supply or creating a cumbersome licensing regime. When asked about the issue on desktop computers, an official said that certain companies approached the DGFT that the customs is not allowing imports of desktops, so a clarification is issued on that. In a desktop computer, CPU and monitor are separate, but in all-in-one personal computers, CPU is in-built.
