[1] 'No Man is an Island' Olde English Version No man is an Iland, intire of itselfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Manor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee. MEDITATION XVII Devotions upon Emergent Occasions John Donne Courtesy: John Dayal -------------- [2] From: kashif-ul-huda <kaaashif@gmail.com Date: Fri May 23, 2008 7:44 pm Subject: Wasimur Rehman: Maulana, doctor and now civil servant a Wasimur Rehman: Maulana, doctor and now civil servant By Mumtaz Alam Falahi, TwoCircles. net, When madrasas are labeled as an obstacle in Indian Muslim's education and growth, a madrasa graduate has proved the perception wrong. That too by walking on an uncharted path. Wasimur Rehman, a Fazil from Darul Uloom Deoband, South Asia's most respected Islamic seminary, has done proud to all madrasas and Indian Muslims by clearing India's prestigious UPSC Civil Services exam. Education Coming from an undeveloped district of Siddharth Nagar of Uttar Pradesh, Rahman has made a history by becoming first cleric to clear Civil Services Exam. Talking to TwoCircles. net (TCN) from New Delhi, he elaborated on his education, career and coaching for UPSC exam. "I began my education at a maktab in my village, then I shifted to Madrasa Ehyaul Uloom in U. P.'s Gonda district for higher religious education." At this madrasa, which is affiliated with Darul Uloom Deoband, Rehman completed five years of eight-year course of Fazil. For the remaining three years, at the end of which he was to be awarded with a degree, he moved to Darul Uloom Deoband in Saharanpur. Son of a hakeem (late), Rehman comes from a humble family background. His mother is homemaker; of three brothers, one is a driver and another works at a shop. His youngest brother is doing MA in Theology at Aligarh Muslim University, he said to TCN. ------------- [3] INDONESIA MUSLIMS BURN CHRISTIAN VILLAGE: 4 KILLED, 56 INJURED Sources: Barnabas Fund Australia, BosNewsLife Nearly all Christian families in a village on Indonesia’s Seram Island remain homeless after a Muslim mob burned their houses and other properties as well as killing four believers and injuring dozens others, investigators told BosNewsLife. The mainly Christian community of Horale in the religiously volatile Maluku province was attacked on Friday, May 2, by a mob from the neighboring village of Saleman, which is predominantly Muslim, according to Barnabas Fund, which investigates the plight of Christians in Islamic nations. Patrick Sookhdeo, Barnabas Fund’s international director, said Horale is in a remote area of the island and therefore a relative easy target for extremists. Reports said, however, that Indonesian authorities have sent special police forces to guard the border between the two villages. --------------- [4] Mediclaim can't be denied for pre-existing diseases: SC Saturday May 24 2008 00:00 IST PTI NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has ruled that public sector insurance companies cannot refuse to provide medical cover policies to those suffering from pre-existing diseases and said such an action was arbitrary, illegal and unconstitutional. A bench of Justices S B Sinha and V S Sirpurkar also asked the Insurance Regulatory Development Authority (IRDA) to frame suitable guidelines to ensure that insurance companies, both from public sector and private sector, do not indulge in the unethical practice of denying medical insurance facility to the public. The apex court said public sector insurance companies in particular cannot indulge in such unhealthy practice as they are "State" within the meaning of Article 12 of the Constitution and were expected to be fair and reasonable in their dealings with the public. "Only because the insured had started suffering from a disease, the same would not mean that the said disease shall be excluded. If the insured had made some claim in each year, the insurance company should not refuse to renew insurance policies only for that reason.," the bench said in its judgement. The apex court passed the observation while dismissing a batch of petitions filed by public sector insurance companies against the Delhi and Gujarat High Court directions that they had no right to deny medical insurance facility to those suffering from pre-existing diseases or diseases contracted during the subsistence of a policy. http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?
