You moved. The news did not stop.
Keeping up with India from Belgium usually means one of two bad options: a home-country news app that pushes forty notifications a day on a timezone that is not yours, or drifting out of touch and finding out about things a week late from a family WhatsApp group.
shortnews.be gives India its own tab. The same 60-word treatment the Belgian feed gets — the essential facts, no padding, no click-bait — applied to Indian headlines, in English, and sitting one swipe away from the Belgian stories you also need. You read both in the time it takes to finish a coffee.
It is not a replacement for reading a newspaper properly. It is the answer to "what happened at home today" when you have four minutes between the commute and the front door, and it is deliberately short enough that you actually finish it.

Pick India as your home country in Settings and its headlines get their own tab. Belgium stays exactly as it is. Free, and no account needed.
Download on the App Store Get it on Google PlayNews is one thing. The rest of moving to Belgium — the commune appointment, the rental hunt, the bank account, bringing parents over — is the part nobody warns you about.
namaste.community is our sister site and covers exactly that, written by people who did it: first-hand accounts in Experiences, including your first week here, banking for Indian expats, finding a rental and bringing parents to Belgium. Udaan runs longer profiles of people from the community here — the ones who took a while to get going and then took flight.
It also carries a news section that some of our own reporting crosses into. Two sites, one audience, different jobs.
