A 45-year-old woman from Mankhurd, Mumbai, strangled her own son to death on Tuesday evening to protect her daughter-in-law from his violence. Nadeem Naim, her 25-year-old son, was a drug-addict and routinely used to subject his wife to domestic violence. The mother, named Anwari idrisi, was arrested the next morning for the murder of her son. Nadeem married a woman from Allahabad two years ago who at the time did not know about his addiction. Soon after their marriage, he started subjecting her to severe domestic violence.  Five months ago, she left his place after being fed up of his daily violent behavior and drug abuse. Nadeem’s mother reportedly did not want her to leave so she brought her back promising her that she wouldn’t let her son do drugs or beat her again and that she will save her if it happened again. Eventually the wife gave in to her mother-in-law’s requests and came back to Mankhurd. On Tuesday night Nadeem came home under the influence of drugs. Realizing that h...

Most of the people including kids love to watch television. Even if they are asked to quit watching it, they will still watch it.  Some parents think of it as a useful device for their kids. In fact, they use it as an alternate when they are busy somewhere else. They bring educational DVDs so that their children could learn something positive while they are not present. However, they forget the fact that a TV, merely, cannot fulfill the purposes of education their children need. By dragging their kids into digital life they forget about the ethics and practical education that their kids need in the early age of their lives.

They somehow think a TV can replace them. Now the question arises whether TV is good or bad for kids? No wonder TV is a good source of learning for ...

Man touching shoulder of uncomfortable woman co-worker Sexual harassment is a grave crime that leaves the victims in mental agony and distress for life. No one should tolerate sexual harassment. Everyone has the right to be treated with respect and dignity. Inappropriate behavior is a developing issue everywhere be it work areas, schools or anywhere a woman goes. Even though there are various laws against this but they are largely ineffective. So what constitutes harassment? Well, it’s any undesirable or sexual innuendos intended to make a woman uncomfortable. Behaviors such as touching, ogling , inappropriate comments or signals, they all come under the domain of harassment. Sadly, when females raise their voice against such harassment, they are not taken quite seriously and are given excuses such as “young men will be young men”. This somehow conditions our women to think that such harassment is normal and should be condoned. However, what they fail to understand is that such type of...

Despite being half the population, women are still underrepresented in politics. They lag substantially behind men when it comes to their representation in leadership positions throughout the world. However, the situation has improved to some extent in the recent past. Last month, Theresa May became the leader of the Conservative Party of the United Kingdom and the country’s second female prime minister in history; both elected during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest serving monarch in modern history. At the same time in the United States of America, Hillary Clinton is leading over Donald Trump in national polls, according to different surveys. While Germany is currently led by a strong female leader, Angela Merkel, since 2005. Women are serving as Presidents or Prime Ministers in several others developed and developing countries like Croatia, Chile, Malta, Mauritius, Nepal, Taiwan, Austria (where Doris Bures is acting Co-president), Bangladesh, the Bahamas, Grenada, Namibi...
