Women Forced to Walk Barefoot: Fear & Loathing in Rajasthan

by manishkumar on Jan 04, 2013      Category: Human Rights Tags: videovolunteers indiaunheard rajasthan gender
In Shambhu's village, the women are not allowed to cross the village square where the panchayat (council) holds its meetings with slippers on their feet. Even if they are carrying load or pots on their heads, the women have to remove their slippers and cross the few square meters on barefoot as a display of 'respect'. Non-compliance with the 'tradition' is besides the point. "No one dares question it," says Shambhu. Rajasthan is the state with one of the most skewered sex ratios in the country. Female foeticide is rife and in some regions, there are less than 800 women for every 1000 men.

Save Bangalore from noise pollution, say no to honking

by Prajnadutt on Jul 24, 2012      Category: Human Rights Tags: environment health hazards honking
How would you like it if I came and made a huge noise right into your ear when you were minding your business. I suppose you would hate it, you would get irritated and even yell at me. What if this happened on a daily basis and by everybody around you? Who all would you pick a fight with or even who all would you tell to keep quiet. Ultimately you would end up feeling just annoyed all the while and get stressed. This is the story of traffic in India, in any city. Some people, the very minute they enter the roads, they start honking, for no good reason at all. If there is an intersection in y
