The Congress party since Independence had embraced the very same “colonialist” policies that the British raja has successfully practiced for centuries before them and enabled them to rule India. It is the DIVIDE AND RULE principle.

Woman thrown out of Shatabdi Express, dies............

Posted On: Mon, 2008-07-07 14:14 by Avatar

Kanpur: It In a shocking incident, a 35-year-old woman died after being allegedly thrown out of 2003 Delhi-bound Shatabdi Express by the catering and ticket-checking on Sunday. The incident took place near Panki-Bhaupur railway station after an argument as the woman was travelling without ticket. No one in the compartment came to her rescue. The woman, whose identity is yet to be ascertained, had boarded the train at the Kanpur Central Railway Station. A youth named Raju of Raidalpur, who was a witness to the incident, said that he saw the woman falling from the footboard of the train at the pole no: 1056/4 near Bhaupur railway station around 5:21 pm. She was being assaulted by two-three persons at the gates of the C-I coach of the train, Raju said. "She was fighting with two-three men near the footboard of the compartment. One of them slapped and pushed her out of the speeding train," he added. The police reached the spot half-an-hour after the incident and by that time the woman breathed her last. "A bag, a paper on which two mobile phone numbers 9832306740 and 99323913877 were scribbled and Rs 400 were recovered from her possession. However, both the numbers were found to be non-operational when the police tried to seek details about the woman," a police official said. A case is yet to be registered. It would be difficult to explain why the police has yet to register a case!

What ever happened to Women's Rights and why the Constitution is ignored in India?

Posted On: Tue, 2006-07-04 04:07 by Avatar

We often hear praises for the Indian Constitution that guarantees women equal rights and equal opportunity. This noble spirited and fair minded document bans any type of gender discrimination, that’s widely celebrated as a formidable democratic achievement and exemplary document in this newly born democracy in 1947. It’s often mentioned that the Indian Constitution was much influenced by the spirit of the United Nation’s Declaration of Universal Human Rights, its contemporary.

Powerlessness of the National Commission for Women in India - an ex commissioner's report on official apathy in India.

NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR WOMEN
A gallery of failures
A former member of the National Commission for Women, Syeda Hameed records the powerlessness of the institution in her new book, They hang: Twelve women in my portrait gallery. Deepti Priya Mehrotra notes the chilling refusal of the system to defend women against atrocities. 

19 May 2006 - Women's activists throughout the country have reported the hostile attitude of the police and the judiciary when it comes to punishing perpetrators of violence. But when a high-placed government functionary faces similar hostility, and finds herself powerless to deal with it, it is indeed an eye-opener.

Planning Commission member Syeda S Hameed is one such person. In her recent book, 'They Hang - Twelve Women in My Portrait Gallery', she narrates her personal experience of trying to help 12 wronged women get justice. Syeda Hameed's book, based on her work as Member of the National Commission for Women (1997-2000), is an explosive account of the impotence of this institution. Not only does she document, in brutal detail, the violence committed on women in a range of contexts, but also the chilling refusal of `the system' to bring the guilty to book.

Indian N.O.W.

Posted On: Sun, 2006-05-28 01:15 by cary

Kalpana Devi Gandhi Dhanwatay founded Indian NOW a registered tax exempt Non Profit NGO to create advocacy for equal rights for the women of India that's a reality. Although the Indian Constitution and the U.N. Charter guarantees equal rights for women the ground reality in India does NOT protect or enforce these rights. Inheritance, community property rights are routinely violated and most Indian women have no financial ability to seek legal remedy in the archaic, male dominated-biased, corruption riddled Indian Court System where litigations stretch over decades while the disputed properties are often sold.
Indian NOW advocates the establishment of an affordable Women Rights Court System to resolve these issues expeditiously within a streamlined court procedure run by judges sensitive, sympathetic to these issues.
India is undergoing a major social transformation where HUF's are dissolving at the exclusion of many women causing permanent adverse economic impact, lasting poverty.
