Stuff

  • One stupid cricket fan in Jharkhand threatens to commit suicide if he is not allowed to sell his kidney to get the money needed for a ticket to the West Indies, where the tournament is being held. [Link]
  • Internet restrictions on IITians, detailed news from BBC - [Link]. IBNlive just gave us bits and pieces of information (unlike BBC) and that's when I got so frustrated!
  • Totally ridiculous - Condom drive targets Indian women. [Link]
    First of all, are sex workers legally allowed to exist in India? If not, why are they being helped prevent AIDS and other STDs? If they are, I think that law must be looked into. To quote one of Gandhi (1982) 's, "There are unjust laws as there are unjust men."

    Here you go - I found an article about this on Wikipedia - [Link]. I am not summarizing it here, since the article itself is short. But, the situation is this: Prostitution in India is neither legal nor illegal, but the law is so close, you would think it's illegal. The worst part is that India passed this law only to comply with the 1950 UN declaration in New York.
  • Racing games 'breed' bad drivers.[Link]
