Sati Practice History.

Sati is an old, largely defunct custom, among some communities in which the widow was immolated alive on her husband's funeral pyre. Although the act was supposed to be a voluntary on the widow's part, it is believed to have been sometimes forced on the widow. It was abolished by the British in 1829. There have been around forty reported cases of sati since independence. In 1987, the Roop Kanwar case of Rajasthan led to The Commission of Sati (Prevention) Act.

Few reliable records exist of the practice before the time of the Gupta empire, approximately 400 AD. After about this time, instances of sati began to be marked by inscribed memorial stones. The earliest of these are found in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, though the largest collections date from several centuries later, and are found in Rajasthan. These stones, called devli, or sati-stones, became shrines to the dead woman, who was treated as an object of reverence and worship. They are most common in western India


By about the 10th century sati, as understood today, was known across much of the subcontinent. It continued to occur, usually at a low frequency and with regional variations, until the early 19th century.

Widows did this because it was supposed to cast away any sins the husband had committed, making him able to have a happy afterlife. This was voluntary for the widow, but they were put under much pressure to do it and were looked upon as a bad person if they didn’t go through with it.

Technological Mis-use

Various techniques like sonograms, ultrasounds etc have been invented to detect the abnormalities of the fetus. But sadly, some people are mis-utilizing such tests and use them as tools to determine the gender of the fetus and kill them by abortion. Punjab and Rajasthan are the two states in India where the highest number of abortion cases are recorded every year.

disclosing the gender of a baby is not legal

Although disclosing the gender of a baby is not legal in India, many doctors do so for money and even arrange for the abortion. Numerous medical clinics are there which are involved in such illegal activities. But the most disturbing part is that though it’s a big crime, rarely the culprits get convicted. And this is not only common in rural India but also in cities where some families with the desire to have a baby boy kill the female fetus.

Stop Killing Female Foeticide and Save

Stop Killing Female Foeticide and Save

Standing in the 20^th century, when the whole world is awakening to the call of feminism, a girl child in India is still regarded as burdensome. In some parts of India, still a daughter is always given the last preference because of dowry system. But it’s really very unfortunate to know that instead of killing the dowry system, people kill their girl child and that even before their birth. Before they see the world, the female fetus is killed in the mother’s womb.

cases of foeticide

Cases of Foeticide
Number of cases of foeticide registered during 2003, 2004 and 2005 was 57, 86, and 86 respectively in the country. State wise number of cases registered can be seen at Annexure.
In order to check female foeticide, the Government has enacted the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act (PC&PNDT Act). The technique of pre-conception sex selection has been brought within the ambit of this Act so as to pre-empt the use of such technologies, which significantly contribute to the declining sex ratio. Use of ultrasound machines has also been brought within the purview of this Act more explicitly so as to curb their misuse for detection and disclosure of sex of the foetus lest it should lead to female foeticide. The sale of ultrasound machines has been regulated through laying down the condition of sale only to the bodies registered under the Act.
At the district level, as per the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act (PC&PNDT Act), the Appropriate Authority which is the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of the district has been empowered to implement the Act. The Appropriate Authority is aided and advised by the Advisory Committee in the discharge of its functions. The Advisory Committee is consists of three medical experts, a legal expert, a publicity expert and three social workers/NGOs (out of which one is from women’s organization).
In addition, a ‘National Support and Monitoring Cell’ has been set up for effective implementation of the Act.
This information was given by the Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss in a reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha.

A 23-year-old girl made a futile attempt to prevent her estranged lover from tying the knot to another girl in Rajajinagar on Friday.Commotion prevailed in KEB Community Hall as the girl T N Priyanka, who claimed to be pregnant, barged into the venue along with her family members to disrupt the marriage.
Blows were exchanged between the parties even as guests remained mute spectators. Priyanka’s sister, Teja sustained minor injuries in the fight.
Priyanka, a first year MBA student and resident of Nandini Layout, was in love with Anand, a PUC dropout for the last four years. His family was opposed to their marriage as they belonged to different castes. Meanwhile, Anand was engaged to another girl, Tirumala of Jayanagar.

Cricketer Anil kumble case for his child

Cricketer Anil kumble case for his child

After family court granted Kumble custody of child, biological father approached HC questioning the order, which in turn directed issuance of emergency notice to the former cricketer.

The decade long legal battle over custody of a child between Anil Kumble's family and the child's biological father Kumar Jahagirdar continues, as the latter approached the High Court questioning the family court order.

Based on the HC's direction, an emergency notice has been issued to the respondents and the next hearing will be held following their response.

Not eligible: The Family Court earlier rejected Jahagirdar's application stating that he was not entitled to custody on the ground that there was no female member living with him to look after the child.

In his petition, Jahagirdar contended that the family court, over sighted Supreme Court while passing the order dated January 29, 2004. The SC observed that the prospect of the arrival of a second child in the respondent's family is another circumstance, which would be in favour of the child.

 Girl child education discriminated

You may be aware that in many countries available indicators show that the girl child is discriminated against from the earliest stages of life, through her childhood and into adulthood. It may not be out of place to mention here that India is one of those countries in the world in which men outnumber women. The reasons for this can be attributed to, among other things, indifferent attitudes and practices against girl child including their health and well being. It has generally been observed that girl child is discriminated against in the matter of education also. The ratio of drop outs for girls at different levels of education is more than that for the boys

To remedy the situation, the Central Board of Secondary Education has already made a provision in its Examination Bye-Laws that girl candidates, who are bonafide residents of the National Capital Territory of Delhi can appear in Class X and Class XII Examinations of the Board as Private Candidates.

In order to further promote education for girl child, an amendment in the Affiliation Bye-Laws of the Board has now been made that all the affiliated schools will grant full waiver of all fees (including tuition fee and all other fees under any head except the meals and transportation fee) charged by them from class VI onwards to each girl student who is also the single child of a parent. Similarly, it will be appreciated if the schools also consider extending 50% concession in these fees for every girl student who is one of two daughters who are also the only two children in a family. In addition to above, the school on its own can also waive such fees like transportation and meal fee (as applicable).

It has been decided by the Board that the above provisions will be made applicable to all schools affiliated with the Board. However, already affiliated schools will have a choice to implement these either with immediate effect or from the next academic session commencing from 1.04.2006. In case of schools seeking affiliation with CBSE, the implementation will be with immediate effect.

For implementation of these provisions, it is advised that the schools may accept the status of the girl children on the basis of a simple affidavit sworn by the parents. Such parents may also be informed very categorically that they shall intimate the school immediately about any change in the single status of girl child/children in the family, if and when it occurs, and it shall be their sole responsibility. The schools may also intimate to the parents that in case it is detected at any time that the affidavit sworn in by them was false, appropriate action will be taken by the school against them, and the CBSE will also consider withholding certificates.


In the light of the above, the Managements & Heads of the Institutions of all the affiliated schools are requested to take appropriate action, and to submit their 'Quarterly Report on Fee Concession', as per enclosed format. The schools who have applied for affiliation with the Board are also requested to be in readiness for implementing the above provision for promotion of education for the girl child from the month they receive affiliation with the Board and start sending quarterly reports in the format. To start with, the report for the quarter ending September 2005 may be sent to the Joint Secretary (Affiliation), Central Board of Secondary Education, Delhi before 30th November 2005. It is hoped that all the affiliated schools will take the pride in the implementation of above provisions in the interest of education of girl children, and non-implementation of these provisions will attract necessary action under Affiliation Bye-Laws of the Board.

Not only was the CBSE asking schools to provide free education to single girl children, it was also asking schools to submit a Quarterly Compliance Report - more paperwork for the schools. There was strong resistance to this move from CBSE-affiliated schools and a minority unaided institution, Carmel Convent School, moved the Delhi High Court saying that the circular is violative of Article 30 of the Constitution (right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions). In January 2006, theDelhi High Court stayed the implementation of the order and Justice Vikramjit Sen issued notices to CBSE, the Centre and the Director of Education of the Delhi Government asking them to file replies to the petition within four weeks and posted the matter for further hearing on March 27.

Just a week before the next hearing in the Delhi High Court, the CBSE in its circular has chosen to water down its old ones by making it optional for private CBSE-affiliated schools to consider extending waiver of fees to single girl children studying in classes IX to XII. But all single girl children studying in government run Kendriya Vidyalayas would be given a fee waiver from class VI onwards, with the government picking up the tab. It has also introduced a new scholarship scheme for single girl children who secure 60% or more marks in their class X Examination for the year 2006 onwards. These children would be given scholarship of Rs. 500/- p.m. for studying in classes XI and XII in schools who charged tuition fee of not more than Rs. 1,000/- p.m. during the academic year 2005-06.

The Delhi High Court has subsequently disposed off the case (Civil Writ Petition No. 778/2006) on March 27.

The commercialisation of education in schools across the NATION.

The letter is particularly harsh about the practice of allowing established schools to set up franchisees, “without ensuring that the quality of education is upheld.


“It has been noticed that some school societies,in addition to setting up their own schools, have taken to giving out franchisees across the country. In that manner they charge hefty amounts from other societies after giving them the right to use its name, .


With the Society charging a hefty amount for a school to take on its name, the letter questions why such schools protest attempts to monitor their fees

Human rights Day on 10 Dec

Human rights Day on 10 Dec every Year.Events focused on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are held worldwide on and around December 10. Many events aim to educate people, especially children and teenagers, on their human rights and the importance of upholding these in their own communities and further afield.

The day may also include protests to alert people of circumstances in parts of the world where the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is not recognized or respected, or where the importance of these rights are not considered to be important. Cultural events are also organized to celebrate the importance of human rights through music, dance, drama or fine art.

Human Rights Day is a global observance and not a public holiday.

History of Human Rights,damodhar

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was drafted between January 1947 and December 1948. It aimed to form a basis for human rights all over the world and represented a significant change of direction from events during World War II and the continuing colonialism that was rife in the world at the time. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is considered as the most translated document in modern history. It is available in more than 360 languages and new translations are still being added.

The UN General Assembly adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, France, on the December 10, 1948. All states and interested organizations were invited to mark December 10 as Human Rights Day at a UN meeting on December 4, 1950. It was first observed on December 10 that year and has been observed each year on the same date. Each year Human Rights Day has a theme. Some of these themes have focused on people knowing their human rights or the importance of human rights education.
