2. Two public schools in Fremont, California, added Hindi to their curriculum for the 2024-25 school year.
3. Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain won three Grammy Awards, bringing his lifetime total to five.
4. Bilal Ilyas Jhandir, a 20-year-old Pakistan man, set a Guinness World Record by identifying 34 Taylor Swift songs from their lyrics within a minute.
