As it happens: a rant.

London recently received a very important visitor. The online edition of the Telegraph quite excited about it. 

Its headline read:

The First Indian Prime Minister for a decade arrives in Britain - live

Word To Use Today: India. This word is basically the same as Hindu and Indus, and comes via Old Persian from the Sanskrit Sindhu, which is the old name for the Indus River.
