    Sentencing in the Gulberg society massacre case has featured prominently on the front pages of most newspapers this morning. The Pioneer reports that as many as 11 out of total 24 convicts in this case were sentenced to life imprisonment by a special trial court, while one was sent to prison for 10 years and 12 others got jail term for seven years. Under the headline, "For Gulberg, ‘darkest day’, judge gives life", the Asian Age says the judgment left the prosecution, Jafri’s widow Zakia, and civil rights activists disappointed because they found the sentences lenient considering the brutality and scale of the violence in the residential colony in Gujarat’s capital.

    The Gujarat Forest Department has ordered an inquiry into the alleged incident of cricketer Ravindra Jadeja taking pictures with lions after disembarking from his jeep at the Gir wildlife sanctuary.
    And Finally, Men not taking time off to care for newborns, it turns out, is a difficult cultural norm to overcome.

Men still think their careers will suffer if they take leave, according to a new Deloitte survey, writes the Times of India.
