We too can have good roads

“Roads are the face of development” – Neiphiu Rio, MP and Former Nagaland Chief Minister
As I prepare to go to Aryalur district in Tamil Nadu as an election observer in the last State Assembly elections (May 2016) the first thing I enquired of the said district administration was, – “how far this Aryalur district is located from Chennai and what would be the mode of travel?”.

Schools of scandal

(Contd from previous issue)
Look at the list of the recently elected Ministers in Bihar, their portfolios, and their academic qualifications. One can’t help but laugh in disbelief. Again, the fact that such ineligible rookies and jailbirds in the ministry does not make the mainstream media sit up is a classic case of mystery.

Women’s bodies as terrain of war: Experiences from Manipur

There is no doubt that the military environment is inherently masculine and misogynist. The masculine cults that permeate military establishments are intrinsically anti-female and therefore create a hostile environment for women. Starting from one’s own home, men use women’s bodies to control each other.

Good that the State Government has decided to move on. Obviously given the fact that the President has withheld or rejected the Protection of Manipur People Bill, 2015 the best way forward is to draft a new Bill and see whether it can pass muster with the Centre or not. Moreover it is also very important to keep in mind that the three Bills passed by the State Assembly on August 31 last year had divided the people so deeply that even now the nine people killed at Churachandpur in the protest against the Bills are lying in state.
