Qatar already did well with the
FIFA World Cup
, so more football came in the continental tournament, and already offered some surprises like traditional South Korea conceding a tie to lowly Malaysia in the 105th minute (!) - but not our friends from India performing well, as they lost all three games. The knockout rounds will start with interesting matches like the
currently suffering
Palestine against the hosts.

On January 22, just months ahead of the
world's biggest election
, Indian Prime Minister
Narendra Modi
inaugurated this temple to the Hindu deity
Rama
in a highly publicized and politicized event that was attended by several Indian politicians, businessmen and celebrities. The temple is located at the
hypothesized birthplace of Rama
, and the former location of
a 16th-century mosque
, which was
attacked and demolished in 1992
by Hindu extremists. It must also be noted that archaeologists found the ruins of what was probably an ancient temple at the site following the mosque's demolition. After several years of litigation, the
Supreme Court of India
delivered its verdict in 2019 giving the site to Hindus to construct a temple, and another piece of land to Muslims for building a mosque.
