Department that aspiring DU leaders prefer
The Department of Buddhist Studies at Delhi University has become a hub for student politics, with many winners of student union elections studying there. This trend has continued despite the department not being a top choice for courses, suggesting that students have more time for politics due to its less demanding nature. However, officials and student outfits claim that the choice of course does not directly reflect an interest in politics. The department offers multidisciplinary courses and is popular among foreign students, although job prospects may not be high.

As time, as flowers go by
The British Library holds an album of 68 Mughal flower studies, compiled by Prince Dara Shikoh in 1641-42, which reveals how the Mughal court artists emulated western botanical and zoological studies. The album was presented to his wife, Nadira Banu Begum, whom he married in 1633. The delicate execution of the paintings has led to the album being regarded as a ?treasure? among the library's vast collections.
