Court Quashes Activist's Detention; Modi Praises GDP Growth Amid Nepal Floods

Former bureaucrat Ashish Joshi was reportedly questioned over a social media post about Home Minister Amit Shah, sparking concerns. Separately, India reported a 7.8% GDP growth in Q1, praised by Prime Minister Modi but criticized by opposition leaders. Meanwhile, Nepal faces devastating floods killing over 800, and activists critique government responses to protests and appointments.
