Australia on top
The violent treatment of Indian students in Australia might have dropped out of the news media here this week but it continues to feature prominently in India. This morning it finally reached the status of the front page splash in the Times of India.
Similar stories have made page one in recent weeks but I don't recall them reaching pride of place before.
