“Child marriage is a gross violation of all categories of child rights.”
|
|
A report by the UNICEF revealed that 82 percent of girls in Rajasthan are married before they are 18, 15 percent of girls in rural areas across the country are married before 13 and a major 52 percent of girls have their first pregnancy between 15 and 19.
By the Indian law, it is illegal to allow or facilitate marriage of a boy under 21 and a girl under 18. Amongst all the states in India, it is Rajasthan that tops the list with the average age of a girl at marriage being 16.6 years, closely followed by Bihar (17.2 years) and Madhya Pradesh (17 years).
Defying the law right in the eye, hundreds of children tied the knot in Rajgarh, 65 miles northwest of Bhopal in May 2005. According to sources, hundreds of children, some even as young as seven years old were married over a period of one week.
As if to mock at the law, the ceremonies were held at the same time as the ‘Akkha Teej’, a summer festival believed to auspicious for weddings. Meanwhile all the officials could do was to r................................... |

save girl child
|
|
Traditions and rituals outline the existence of the Indian girl child. Amidst uproars of gender equality and law enforcement, female infants are still found dumped in trash, by the dozens, while unborn fetuses continue to be sniffed in the womb. Wrought with discrimination and prejudiced by rituals, our society has dealt the girl child a rough hand, starting even before birth, till the dark of life. |

Superstition, Faith Star, Science, ASTROLOGY

A lot of us wake up and grab the newspaper first thing in the morning. I for one, after the cursory glance at the headlines, always flip to the ‘fun’ part of the newspaper- the supplement that has all the celebrity gossip, cartoon strips, puzzles AND a small section of the daily ‘Horoscope’. I don’t think the paper predicts my day exactly the way it goes, nor do I try wearing my lucky ‘color’ for the day, but I do enjoy reading the 5-6 lines every morning god knows why!
I also often ask people about their ‘star’/’sun’ sign when I meet them, I believe there are basic traits associated to each one. In fact as silly as it may sound, I tolerate someone’s dominating attitude if I know that that someone is the ‘bull’- Taurus, I’m not surprised when I’m stung by a ‘vindictive’ Scorpion, I expect ‘balance and diplomacy’ from a Libran and being a Gemini, I know one when I meet one!
I also believe in fate and destiny, life like everything else moves in phases – ‘there are troughs and ................................... |

Introduction to Retired soldiers
|
This is a true story, adapted from Colonel Rajan's public lament,
a tale typical of every officer and jawan. S.S. Rajan, the son of
an army officer, joined the army with an engineering degree
and was commissioned in the corps of engineers in June 1963,
with his pay at Rs 460 per month. He served in NEFA and later
fought in the Indo-Pak war of 1971. In that war, his vehicle
was blown up, maiming and killing his comrades, but he
was lucky to escape with major injuries. He was recommended
for the Vishisht Sewa Medal on four occasions.
After over 19 years of service, he was promoted to the rank
of lieutenant colonel, whereas IAS and IPS officers
automatically become joint secretaries and equivalent on
completion of 18 years of service or less. Rajan was promoted
to colonel in August 1985 and retired after over 33 years of
meritorious service, when he had a daughter aged 15 and a
son aged 8 to take care of. He received a pension of Rs 9125
per mon................................... |
