At least 35 pilgrims were killed on Sunday when an overcrowded bus carrying them from India to a Hindu festival in southern Nepal swerved off a highway into a river. The bus was taking the devotees - most of whom were from the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh - to a temple in Nawalparasi district, 150 kilometres west of the capital Kathmandu, said local police chief Gyan Bikram Shah. "We have already found 35 dead bodies. Among them, there is one small girl, 10 women and the rest are men. We have not seen the bus - it is still inside the water," police inspector Deepak Kumar Raya told AFP from the crash site.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
