plight of Saudi women

THE first and second time her husband shot her, the distressed woman in her 30s
rejected advice to file a complaint. To do so, she explained, would require the
presence of her obligatory male guardian, who happened to be... her husband.
Without him, her testimony would not be legally valid. Besides, the allmale
police might accuse her of ???mixing??? with the opposite sex, a crime in the
eyes of most Saudi judges. The third time her husband shot her, she died. This
tale, told by a Saudi social worker in a new report on women's rights in the
kingdom, is particularly harrowing. Yet it dramatises the more mundane plight
of millions of Saudi women who are unable by law to study, work, travel, marry,
testify in court, legalise a contract or undergo medical treatment without the
assent of a close male relative, be he a father, husband or, less commonly, a

By Khabrein. info Correspondent,

New Delhi, April 26: After trying to persuade Muslims to back Bhartiya Janta
Party (BJP), former deputy prime minister L. K. Advani today asked Indian
Christian community to back his party. The BJP is trying desperately to
persuade one and all before the forthcoming general elections to be held next
year. Christians can play an important role in states like Kerala and north
eastern states.

Christian community has been at the receiving end in states where BJP is in
power including Gujarat, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Orissa.

landslide victory of the Maoists signifies the most emphatic rejection of the

only major component. The "rise of the laggards" is sure to make itself felt in
the coming days. Any illegitimate attempt to thwart that would, in all

Quotas swollen, but where's bursting point?

By Venkatesh Kesari and Parul Chandra

New Delhi: India is witnessing a strange paradox: at a time when reforms have
taken precedence in the economic realm, reservation has become the name of the
game in the social and political sectors.

Reservation appears to have become all-encompassing. Notwithstanding efforts to
bring forward the women's reservation bill ensuring 33 per cent reservation in
the Lok Sabha and state Assemblies, this has so far remained a pipe dream.

While government jobs are no longer as sought after as they once were,
