Marriages are made in heaven indeed, but dowry death, murder-suicide and bride burning are symptoms of peculiar social maladies, which have spawned like a "Black Plague". The word 'dowry' has been defined in The Dowry Prohibition Act 1961 which states that dowry means any property or valuable security given or agreed to be given either directly or indirectly by one party to the other party in a marriage to.

Now cruelty as mentioned here above mean any willful conduct which is of such a nature as is likely to drive the woman to commit suicide or to cause grave injury or danger to life, or harassment to coerce her or any other person related to her to meet demand. Cruelty includes both physical and mental tortur...

21st February is one of the most significant day in Bengali calendar. It is "International Mother Language Day". Spanning back to the history, on 21st February, 1952 (8 Falgun 1359 – as it corresponds to the Bengali calendar), the police guns of East Pakistan' force went bang on a procession of students, thereby killing four of them, who set out with a demand to establish Bengali as the official language. This was an incident that occurred in Dhaka, when the nation wide revolution led to recognition of Bengali as an official language of Pakistan. But it was not until 17th November 1999 that UNESCO declared the day "21st February" to be the International Mother Language Day. At a public meeting on 21 March, 1948, the Governor General of Pakistan, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, declared that there could be no language, other than Urdu to be used as the national language for both East and West Pakistan. People of East Pakistan -- whose main language was Bengali – launched a ...

The success of the left front government in West Bengal is a much discussed and debated issue all across the world. Amidst a worldwide decay of communism as a distinctive political way of governing a state, how a communist party has been able to carry on with its triumphs in a province of a country like India, is a matter of surprise and inquisition to any outsider. Critics have often designated the reign as more of a quantitative success (30 years) than a qualitative one. But to understand the vibes and repercussions of a highly sensitive and politically conscious people like the Bengalis truly, one has to take a much closer and all the more analytic look at the state, the party and its background.

Latest News:- Priyanka todi denies any involvement by her family. Whis was quite on the expected lines. You cant expect a witness to remain with the accused and still say the truth, Now when she has nothing to gain from this only she has to loose more. I am also looing interest in the matter so will close the post and not continue it any further. But i promise to keep posting my views on other topics.

I write my views on the incident of Rizwanur in kolkata. My views are entirely my personal views and I never ever intend to hurt the feeling of a already grief stricken family. From the reports on the media I view the incident a bit differently from what the general people see it. I see no fault of Mr. Todi .
