At least 40 countries will be going to the polls including India, the U.S., Russia, Iran, Pakistan, to name a few. This means that almost 40 percent of the world’s population will be electing their national leaders.
Then, there are space events that India is preparing itself for, as well as China’s Chang’e 6 mission which will aim to obtain soil and rock samples from the far side of the moon, and NASA’s Artemis III, a crewed mission that will fly to the moon and back.
As for sporting events, the Olympics will take centerstage this July and August, and the European Championship UEFA 2024, which will be a treat for football fans. The ICC Men’s and Women’s T20 Cup await cricket buffs.
This year also marks several significant anniversaries including the 75th year of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), 50 years since Operation Smiling Buddha, India’s first successful nuclear test, and the discovery of the Terracotta Army in China, one of the world’s greatest archaeological sites.
