Sheila Dikshit shocked How Delhi unsafe for women…really?! …. after 15 years of ruling Delhi??!!

Last updated on: February 6, 2013 at 7:52 am By Desh Kapoor

Sheila Dikshit is aghast at the situation in Delhi in terms of safety of women. What I found interesting and also sad was that it took an incident in the high-end Lajpat Nagar to wake her up. “Women don’t feel safe in Delhi. Fears have risen. I’m shocked to learn about the Lajpat Nagar attempted rape case. It’s a big setback for us,” she said referring to the rape bid on a 19-year-old woman Tuesday. Such incidents – actually worse than this – happen... Read more

Iranian Girl Band to Kashmiri Girl Band, Pragaash: Our Mullahs not as bad as yours; we can do music!

Last updated on: February 6, 2013 at 7:16 am By Desh Kapoor

It is always interesting when victims of one tyrannical society mock the helplessness of victims of another. In this case, an Iranian Girl Band has expressed shock, not only at how the Kashmiri Girl band was hounded into silence, but also as to how little support they have from their society and family. Sahar Lotfi finds it strange that an all-girls band in Kashmir has been hounded into silence. Where she comes from, her all-women group called the Ghazal Band has been blasting... Read more

India has a law against rape 56 days later; US has nothing 58 days after Sandy Hook; Wash Post decries speed of reform in US

Last updated on: February 5, 2013 at 10:05 am By Desh Kapoor

Washington Post is lamenting that US can’t seem to act in a crisis fast enough. At least not as fast as India can. Although the Sandy Hook shooting happened 2 days before the Delhi Gangrape, a law is already there to take care of the issue. Yes, it is not perfect, but at least something came to pass. However, on Sunday, the Indian president ratified a landmark package of laws dealing with sexual violence, just 56 days after the brutal... Read more

Nokia coming out with EOS phone with 42 megapixel sensor camera with Windows 8

Last updated on: February 5, 2013 at 9:44 am By Desh Kapoor

Nokia is coming out with a Windows 8 phone which will be a game changer. It will be based on the optical technology and sensor used in Nokia 808 PureView. It will boast of 42 megapixel sensor in the camera with more enhanced optics than the 808 Pureview. After the 808 Pureview came the Nokia Lumia 920, which focused on on low-light photography via optical image stabilization (OIS)—another first for a mobile device! Now perhaps both, the 42 MP and OIS technologies are... Read more

A history of the financial crisis from economist Alan Blinder

Last updated on: February 5, 2013 at 6:48 am By Desh Kapoor

In his new book, After the Music Stopped, economist ALAN BLINDER offers a history of the financial crisis — its causes and the government efforts to fight it — and provides his prescription for the work that needs to be done to prevent it from happening again. He says the economy experienced a perfect storm beginning in 2007 when the housing bubble burst, the bond market imploded and the U.S. financial system had grown too complex and unregulated for the...

Saudi Preacher Rapes, breaks skull, back and burns 5 yr old daughter goes free after fine by Islamic Court

Last updated on: February 5, 2013 at 12:14 am By Desh Kapoor

What an animal! How can someone do to his own daughter?? And what does the court do to him? Leave him after a fine. Which, btw, was half of what it would have been had it been a boy! A Saudi preacher who tortured his five-year-old daughter to death has been released after agreeing to pay ‘blood money’, activists said. Lama al-Ghamdi died in October having suffered multiple injuries including a crushed skull, broken ribs and left arm, extensive bruising... Read more

New Sexual Assault Law: Without Consent, Sex is Rape

Last updated on: February 4, 2013 at 11:15 pm By Desh Kapoor

The new Sexual Assault law is being criticized in a lot of areas, but some of its provisions may bring cheer for women. It puts the decision for sex being consensual on the victim squarely. If the victim says it was not consensual, it wasn’t. On consent for sex, the woman’s word will be the last one. Once the prosecution is able to prove that there was sexual intercourse in a wide-range of cases, the new sexual assault law requires... Read more

How Kung Fu originated from Martial Arts practices of Hinduism

Last updated on: February 4, 2013 at 10:53 pm By Desh Kapoor
