 [h=3]This controversial agrichemical may lead to male impotency[/h] New Delhi, Jan. 8 (ANI): A study conducted recently has established that exposure to toxic pesticide Endosulfan causes male infertility and other health concerns. Scientist Sathees C. Raghavan, who conducted the study, also confirmed that endosulfan causes DNA break-up, which in turn results in cancer and many other genetic diseases. Endosulfan became a highly controversial agrichemical due to its acute toxicity, potential for bioaccumulation, and role as an endocrine disruptor.

 [h=3]Do more to rescue women trafficked to Goa, charity tells India government[/h] By Rina Chandran MUMBAI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A prominent charity in India's beach resort state of Goa called on the government on Thursday to do more to rescue thousands of women and children who are trafficked to the popular tourism spot every year for sexual exploitation and forced labour. Home Ministry data show more than 5,000 women and children were rescued from various forms of modern day slavery in Goa in the first 10 months of 2015. "The demand for commercial sex workers is high during the tourist season of October to February, but unfortunately there are very few rescues during this time as the police are busy with tourists and music shows and other activities," said Arun Pandey, director of the charity Anyay Rahit Zindagi.

  • [h=3]Mahatma Gandhi returns: What would present day India look like to him?[/h] The Government of India has cancelled the fourteenth Pravasi Bhartiya Divas (PBD) first started by former Prime Minister Vajpayee in 2003 on January 9 to honour the day in 1915 when history's most well known NRI/Pravasi Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi returned to India from South Africa. The cancellation of the PBD got me imagining what he would observe and do if he returned to India on January 9, 2016 - PB Divas or no Divas - exactly 101 years to the day he returned to participate in and eventually lead the Freedom Movement. The polluting, congested, snail paced and horn-crazy traffic on Delhi roads compels him to consider walking to his destination.
