'virginity test' and India Brides

There was a state-run mass marriage last month; it was impressive.

Most of them were from poor/tribal families.
This test happened in MP.

Most of the guys were cheerful to see a "virgin girl"; that too tested and certified by the state. (as written in one of the internet news website). Shameful to see this write up ! Many women complained that the exercise was shameful and humiliating.

It is really sad when poor women had to undergo such tests to prove their chastity to avail government financial support.

where our human rights activists are? In Palestine or in Kashmir or elsewhere?

You decide !

Lohithadas Died

Ambazhathil Karanakuran Lohithadas died following a massive heart attack. He was 54.

One day he said; we "malayalees" have a specialty; we people love and respect artist/individual after his or her death.

He started his career in the literary field as a short story writer. Later he turned to films as a scriptwriter. He scripted the award-winning screenplay for Thaniyavarthanam. This first work was recognised and brought him Kerala State Film Award for Best Story.

The stories and scripts written by him will be enough for future generations to understand the genius of Lohithadas.
