  15. A married woman’s residential status should not be viewed through a patriarchal prism, says Madras HC

    Though a married woman ordinarily lives at her husband’s place, she cannot be presumed to have disowned her residential rights at her parents’ house on account of her marriage. The rules of marriage do not impose any such condition on a woman, and therefore, she can gain public employment by claiming to be a resident of her native village, the Madras High Court has said.

    "We fought for two things-- for Freedom and Independence. We attained Independence" - 'Captain Bhau', who lead the armed faction of the Secessionist Provisional Govt of Satara against the godforsaken Brits from 1943-46.

    That's the quote with which Sainath introduces this book, "The Last Heroes: Foot Soldiers of Indian Freedom".

    On Billionaires now in India:
    The wealthiest Indian has more wealth than the GDP of all of Punjab. The second wealthiest Indian has more wealth than the GDP of Haryana. Punjab, and Haryana are two of the relatively "rich" states.
