Baby buried alive, rescued : Shame on Humanity

Hyderabad, July 5: A two-day-old female baby escaped miraculously after being buried alive by her mother and kin. The incident occurred in Utkoor village of Mahbubnagar district on Thursday morning.

Police said that the baby had a providential escape after a boy tending cattle heard her feeble cries and came running. He saw a tiny hand struggling to come out of the pile of mud and took her out with the help of other villagers. A tractor driver passing by informed the police of the incident. Villagers took the baby to a primary health care centre for first aid and then rushed her to the area hospital in Narayanpet.

Police found out that the baby’s mother Miran Bee, 18, had buried it alive in the early hours of Thursday along with her father Abdul Rehman and her uncle Abdul Rasheed.
Though villagers claimed that the baby stayed buried for about four hours, doctors vouched that the baby could not have stayed under mud for more than 10 minutes. Angry villagers beat up Rehman and Rasheed and dragged them before the police. They have decided to ostracise the family. Police took the woman and her relatives into custody and registered cases against them under section 307 of the Indian Penal Code.

Dalits’ outrage results in school: How Long this ....Crime

Ranchi, June 8: Dalits in a Jharkhand village have set an example of how to protest against discrimination without creating unrest. Dalits in Thadi village of Dumka district, which is nearly 400 km from Ranchi, have opened a school in April exclusively for their children.

The Dalits were prompted to open the school as teachers and students at the local government school were allegedly humiliating their children. They met the district administration and education officials and informed about the discrimination three months ago.

"We were assured that an inquiry will be conducted but no action was taken and the level of discrimination increased day by day. We then decided to open the school," said Sukari Hajzra a Dalit resident of Thadi. "We do not want any fight with the people who look down upon us. We have adopted the Gandhian Satyagraha method to protest," said Surendra Mohali, another Dalit resident of the village.

Shatrughan meets Maya: New Chemestry

Lucknow, June 8: A meeting between UP Chief Minister Mayawati and star-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha has sparked off intense speculations in political circles. The meeting which took place on Thursday night at the Chief Minister’s 13 Mall Avenue residence lasted more than an hour. Though the government spokesman dismissed it as a courtesy visit by the star MP, sources said that ‘serious political discussions’ had taken place during the meeting between the two leaders. The meeting assumes significance since Ms Mayawati has been extremely critical of the BJP and has even accused the saffron brigade of falsely implicating her in the Taj Corridor case.

Mr Shatrughan Sinha is also believed to be upset with his party which insists on sidelining him in his home State, Bihar. The State unit of the BJP said that it had no information about Mr Shatrughan Sinha’s presence in the State capital and was not aware of his meeting with the Chief Minister. "We are shocked to learn about this," said a party functionary

Good for the National politics: we should come out of the Idol worship of one or two leaders

Meena n Gujjar on the Front??? what about others

A caste war broke out between the Meena and Gujjar communities over the issue of Scheduled Tribe status for the Gujjars when the two communities engaged in bloody battles at Lalsot town, in Rajasthan’s Dausa district, on Friday. Nine people were killed in the clashes. The Meenas, a Scheduled Tribe, do not want the Gujjars granted the same status because they fear this will eat into their share of reservations. The police was able to confirm five deaths on Friday. The administration has issued shoot-at-sight orders, which will remain in force till June 12, in strife-torn Bharatpur, Karauli and Swai Madhopur districts. The death toll after Friday’s violence is 27. “It is a war-like situation. Thousands of people gathered on both sides at Ghata in Lalsot, where Gujjars have been blocking the road. The Meenas assembled there and tried to remove the blockade,” said Giriraj, an eyewitness. The condition of seven of the 17 injured was critical. The mobs threw stones and bottles of acid and petrol at each other. The Gujjars took shelter on a hillock, but it was not of much help. Only a handful of policemen were present.“Both sides were equipped with lathis, stones and bottles full of petrol. It was a bloody war. After half-an-hour of clashes, there were nine bodies lying on the roadside,” an eyewitness said. According to sources, the policemen, who were outnumbered and could not prevent the bloodshed, ran away. Eyewitnesses in Lalsot claimed that about 30 houses belonging to the Gujjars were burnt down.One person, a pharmacist said to belong to the Meena community, was shot dead by persons allegedly belonging to the other community in Masalpur area of Karauli, the police said. The man had been riding his two-wheeler near the area in Nangal Pyaribaas where the Meenas held a mahapanchayat to decide their course of action. A case has been registered and the pharmacist’s body has been sent for a post-mortem examination. Hundreds of angry Meenas gathered in Karauli to protest against the killing.Meanwhile, Gujjars in Haryana, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Delhi on Friday protested the police action against their community by blocking roads and burning effigies of Ms Vasundhara Raje across these four states.Lalsot town is 45 km from the district headquarters of Dausa in Rajasthan. The town is known for the “Haila Khayal” annual folk song festival, which attracts over 50,000 people, including Gujjars and Meenas. “It is very sad that the town had to witness the killing of innocent people instead of the sound of folk music,” said Kamal, a Lalsot resident. The Meenas have been organising panchayats in Dausa district since Thursday and have cut off the supply lines of the Gujjars sitting on dharna at Patoli, on the national highway connecting Jaipur to Agra. Mehandipur Dham, a religious place situated between Dausa and Bharatpur and known for its Hanuman temple, is where the Meenas are camping, while the Gujjars are at Patoli. The roadblocks have stranded over 3,000 devotees on their way to Mehandipur Dham. “We are in great trouble, we have no money to eat,” said Kishan Lal, a devotee from Uttar Pradesh. The administration has decided to provide the stranded devotees with transport.The Meenas also manhandled mediapersons, alleging that the media was giving more coverage to the Gujjars. The Army fanned out to the sensitive places on Friday and held flag marches to curb further violence. Meanwhile, ministers from both communities have been making provocative statements. “No one can eat into our share of reservation. I had openly announced at Meena gatherings last year that if needed I am ready to resign from my post,” said Rajasthan food minister Kirodi Lal Meena.MLAs and ministers from the Meena community called on Rajasthan chief minister Vasundhara Raje and handed over a memorandum saying they would oppose any bifurcation of ST reservation. On the other hand, Gujjar leaders from the BJP pressed for the inclusion of their community in the list of Scheduled Castes.

life imprisonment be the punishment for sex determination

Should life imprisonment be the punishment for sex determination?
The Act banning sex determination has a very long name - Pre-natal Diagnostic Techniques (Regulation and Prevention of Misuse) Act or PNDT Act. But the result has been very short. Just one person has been convicted of sex determination in the entire country since 1994, despite it having the provision for imprisonment up to three years and a fine of Rs 10,000 for the first offence. Social activists say this is too mild a punishment for such a serious crime.
