By Suchitra Mohanty NEW DELHI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - The head of a lawyers group fighting for the right of women to enter the famous Sabarimala Ayyappa temple in Kerala said on Thursday he had received hundreds of death threats warning him to drop the petition in the Supreme Court. The popular Hindu temple is one of a few in India which bar women of reproductive age, only allowing entry to girls aged under 10 and women over 50. The ban came under legal scrutiny after the Indian Young Lawyers' Association (IYLA) filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking entry for all women, prompting the court on Monday to ask temple authorities to explain the ban.

Ghulam Ali filled a Kolkata stadium to capacity and publicly cast off the bitterness that being rebuffed by Mumbai had left behind. Ali opened with a gentle reminder of the rough treatment meted out to him by Maharashtra: “Faasle aise honge kabhi socha na tha...” At the close of the ceremony, the Hindustani vocalist Rashid Khan, who went on stage to present Ali with the customary bouquet, asked someone to strike up a tune on the spur of the moment, and launched into Bade Ghulam Ali Khan’s signature thumri, “Yaad piya ki aaye”.

 [h=3]Manpreet Badal merges party with Congress: no where else left to go[/h] Left with no other choice after remaining in political oblivion for many months, the People's Party of Punjab (PPP) headed by Manpreet Singh Badal, today merged his political outfit with the Congress. An estranged nephew of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, and a former Finance Minister, Manpreet had announced the formation of his party in 2011, ahead of assembly election in Punjab with a similar agenda as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to shun VIP culture and be a harbinger of change by way of alternative politics. Despite a groundswell of support from the people at rallies before the elections and the Akali Dal fearing him, his party did not cut much ice in the 2012 elections with not a single MLA elected to the assembly - including Manpreet who lost badly in the two constituencies he had contested.
