 [h=3]Delhi homeowners shut doors on Muslim tenants: UN varsity study[/h] FROM BOLLYWOOD actors not finding apartments in Mumbai over the years to the latest civil services entrant, who took on a Hindu surname to find accommodation in Pune, there have been a number of stories about Muslims finding it difficult to rent houses. Released last week by the Helsinki-based United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER), the study confirms that Muslim applicants find it more difficult than their counterparts to rent a house in Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida. Based on a survey conducted on a house-renting portal, the study states: “A Muslim applicant must respond to 45 listings to receive 10 landlord callbacks, while an Upper Caste (Hindu) applicant must respond to only 28.6 listings to receive the same number.” In other words, Muslims have to apply to 60 per cent more houses than upper-caste Hindus.

 [h=3]The crores EC seized before postponing polls to 2 Tamil Nadu seats[/h] The Election Commission has linked candidates of both the DMK and the AIADMK to cash seizures leading to the postponement of the polls in Tamil Nadu’s Aravakurichi and Thanjavur. Among various reasons in a statement two days ahead of scheduled polling, the EC cited an income-tax raid on the house of one Ambunathan in Aravakurichi, from where the team allegedly seized Rs 4.77 crore and documents linking the cash to some prominent AIADMK ministers. The statement referred to another seizure in the same constituency, this one from the house of DMK candidate K C Palanisamy, a senior leader in his eighties, who is also an industrialist.

 [h=3]Jiah Khan suicide case: Bombay HC sets 7 June as date for hearing[/h] Acting on the Supreme Court's call that the Jiah Khan death case be resolved soon, the Bombay High Court has set 7 June as the date for a new hearing. The Supreme Court issued the instruction after Jiah's mother Rabia Amin approached the apex court, stating that the trial was not being conducted in a proper manner and without a special public prosecutor. Rabia had also asked for an SIT probe into her daughter's death. Jiah — seen in films like Nishabd and Ghajini — was only 25 when she was found dead in her suburban Mumbai apartment on 3 June 2013. Her body was discovered hanging from the ceiling fan. Sooraj Pancholi, who she was believed to be in a relationship with, was charged with abetting

 [h=3]Facebook abounds with fake profiles of UPSC topper Tina Dabi, she finds them creepy[/h] It was a WhatsApp message Monday morning that alerted Tina Dabi about the existence of more than 35 fake pages and profiles under her name on Facebook. Each had photos of the 22-year-old UPSC exam topper posing with her parents or with Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, or giving an interview to a news channel. One status on a fake profile said, “Dear obstacle, I will destroy you...”, while on another, a user posing as Dabi tells her 465 followers, “May the god gives endurance and encouragement to all the human beings so that they can live joyful life”.

 Is ‘Rail Neer’ safe? Supreme Court says onus on Railways

HOW SAFE is ‘Rail Neer’? The purity of the bottled drinking water supplied by the Indian Railways has come under the scanner of the Supreme Court, which has now put the onus on the Railways to establish its safety. This, the top court said, has become imperative since Railways has mandated that only ‘Rail Neer’ should be sold at railway stations and trains.

Why poor turn out in Chennai?
Many migrated out of Chennai?
Or the inflated voter list with bogus persons could not afford to vote on account of strict vigilance of election commission?
Or Chennai people are not interested out of dejection in exercising their franchise despite EC's pleading for 100% voting.

The standard of syllabus of State Board of Tamilnadu is below par to CBSE which is the basis for common entrance exam.
The students of TN would be penalised for the mistake of somebody.
First the Central Govt. should envisage a common syllabus for school education through out India.
It is unfair to conduct common test to the unequal.

Thanks to to the short shortsightedness of our NEtAs with deep prejudices and bias

against other languages, better syllabuses and their very own people (!)

Tamilians are unequal to the people of every other state in India.

They are cursed to ride the proverbial 'GuNduch chattiyil Kuthirai' in their own state! :(

It will be wiser to raise ourselves to the higher lever of the others rather than

try to pull down everyone else to our low level! :der:

The free items received / are being received every month, are very green in the individual memories of the voters.
Flood havoc which was only in the public memory was already got erased on receipt of Rs. 5000/- and due to efflux of time.
Always individual memory is sharper than public memory.

 [h=3]238 deaths later, silicosis is still the killer in Godhra’s quarries[/h] JASWANT Manjhi had not heard of silicosis, even after it started eating away at his body. This 40-year-old has already lost his elder brother Mukesh, younger sister Kokila and her husband Tansinh — all workers like him at stone quarries in Godhra — to the respiratory disease. The story of these stone quarry workers made headlines after the Supreme Court, in a rare order last week, directed the Gujarat government to release more than Rs 7 crore as compensation to the families of 238 workers who died due to silicosis after working in its quartz and stone crushing industries.
