Nope. Not in the agenda-pushing Zionist MSM.
"In India, business is booming for wedding detectives" by Tim Sullivan, Associated Press | March 7, 2010
NEW DELHI - These days, Western-style “love marriages’’ - with all the messiness that comes with love - are increasingly common. Even the more conservative families are turning to “arranged-love marriage,’’ where parents set up potential partners but leave the final decision to the couple.
Another illusion the Zionist-dominated MSM and culture like to sell you -- painfully, I might add.
Even in the most traditional circles, arranged marriages are often between families that don’t know one another, with introductions made through newspaper advertisements and a string of wildly popular websites.
This the MOST IMPORTANT THING coming out of India these days, Glob?
If that’s not enough, Indian society has been shaken by everything from an increased acceptance of premarital sex to ill-defined spousal roles for a new generation of professionally ambitious women.
That's how you collapse a culture right there.
I'm living in one that is proof (with a big help from overstretched empire -- as if the social follies and foibles were fooley food for the masses, no? The times may change, but the template of rule and control never does).
Oh, I have to hurry up; the game is coming on.
Not that anyone here is writing off the importance of marriage. An unmarried child is still seen as a calamity in most families while the expensive, splashy wedding is a rite of passage for the newly moneyed elite.
I'd have to agree at some point.
Not on the avarice, but the kid bum that never got hitched.
Even after marrying, most young men are still expected to live in their parents’ homes with their wives.
Oh, that would never fly here in AmeriKa.
You gettin' married? Then you getting the f*** out!!
See where you are headed, India?
So in the grand contradiction that is modern India - a deeply traditional nation in the midst of convulsive social change - the age of nosy, all-powerful parents has given way to the age of nosy detectives.
I'd rather the parent.
Tyranny is PROGRESS, huh?
And if it’s seldom discussed openly - who wants to admit they set a detective loose on a future son- or daughter-in-law? - lawyers, wedding planners, and investigators say the business is booming.
Yeah, the DESTRUCTION of TRUST will really help the relationship.
And who wants to admit they are a creepy a**hole anywhere?
If any couples resent being snooped on, they won’t say so.
I resent, I say so, I don't like the submission.
The practice is still taken as a normal part of the marriage game, and there are no privacy groups raising ethical questions.
I'll bet the American power structure would love that.
Oh, yeah, MARRIAGE is NOT a GAME!
How do you think the institution has been rotted out?
Yeah, that kind of thinking.
But many detectives also see themselves as a combination of helpful uncle and Oprah Winfrey.
All right, I'm really getting a bit fed up with this kind of "journalism."
They love telling you about the relationships they have put right - even if it means putting those relationships asunder....
I've read enough agenda-pushing sob stories, and subjected my readers to too many of my own pissed-off passions of pain.

Indian Wedding Day
Seems to be an agenda-pushing preoccupation, 'eh?
I guess it could be worse.
Heck, it IS!
"63 villagers are killed in stampede at temple; Indians gathered for an annual alms giveaway" by Rajesh Kumar Singh, Associated Press | March 5, 2010
KUNDA, India - A stampede among thousands of poor villagers scrambling for free food and clothes at a commemorative event killed 63 people yesterday at a Hindu temple in northern India and injured dozens of others.
I don't know. I'm getting the same agenda-pushing stereotypes from the MSM that I was getting the other day about a certain region of my nation.
See:
- Around AmeriKa: South Carolina Disses the Disabled
- Around AmeriKa: The Devil Went Down to Georgia
- Around AmeriKa: MSM's Mississippi Burning
- Around AmeriKa: Loony Louisiana
And now I have this female theme running through what coverage selections the Boston Globe chose to give me (without mentioning the bride-burnings)?
Nearly all the victims were women and children. The stampede was so intense it knocked down a gate at the compound surrounding the temple in the small town of Kunda, on the northern plains of Uttar Pradesh state.
This is TRAGIC, folks, no matter what your politics!
“How could this happen in such a holy place?’’ cried Phool Chand Saroj, a 48-year-old farmer whose wife, daughter, and grandmother were killed in the stampede. “If they had been more careful about letting in the crowds this would not have happened.’’
Oh, man, the heartbreak.
While most men in the farming region worked in their fields, women from surrounding villages gathered with their children yesterday in Kunda for a midday handout of donations, an anniversary event marking the death of the wife of local religious leader Kripalu Maharaj. Giving food and other alms to the poor on death anniversaries is a common Hindu tradition.
Common for most people and religions actually.
The crush of people turned into a stampede that killed 63 and injured 44, government official Ashok Kumar said.
Last night, piles of unclaimed shoes sat inside the compound where victims had placed them before entering the temple.
The compound in Kunda, some 110 miles southeast of the state capital of Lucknow, appeared to have been undergoing renovations. Bamboo and iron rods used in construction were strewn about the grounds, possibly causing some people to trip.....
So construction negligence contributed to the tragedy, 'eh?

Sort of what we worship here, readers.
Deadly stampedes are a relatively common at temples in India, where large crowds - sometimes numbering hundreds of thousands - gather in tiny areas with no safety measures or crowd control. In 2008, more than 145 people died in a stampede at a remote Hindu temple at the foothills of the Himalayas.
The handout in Kunda is an annual tradition arranged by Maharaj and usually draws a few hundred people, but the event was announced more broadly this year and drew several thousand villagers, said Raghuraj Pratap Singh, a state lawmaker who represents Kunda....
Because PEOPLE are SUFFERING and STARVING?
Can we get an article about that?
By late afternoon police had cleared the compound and taken all the bodies to a hospital, run by the temple, for identification and autopsies, said K.G. Khan, a police official. Outside, villagers wailed in anguish upon receiving word that their loved ones had perished.
Yeah, that.... even reading things like that get to me.
Ordinary people just like you and me, readers, and in pain.
Gudal, a 38-year-old farmer who uses only one name, wept over the death of her 7-year-old daughter, Ranjana....
Who wouldn't?
By last night, all the victims had been identified, and police handed bodies over to relatives to carry back to home villages, Khan said. As bodies were claimed, temple officials at the hospital gave donations of $220 to families who lost relatives....
I guess you can get back to living, huh, Indians?
Just have another sight to visit now, sob.

"India advances bill giving women more power; One-third of seats in legislature to be set aside for them" by Rama Lakshmi, Washingon Post | March 10, 2010
Oh, yeah, POLITICS will satisfy you, yup!
NEW DELHI - Indian Lawmakers yesterday passed a historic bill that would set aside one-third of all legislative seats for women, a move aimed at overturning six decades of male-dominated decision-making in this country.
Isn't that a QUOTA and UNDEMOCRATIC?
And ladies, really, WHAT COUNTRY in the WORLD isn't DOMINATED by MEN?
I have yet to find the city of lost Amazons, something I would like very much. Word is they are good hoop players.
The bill, which drew fierce opposition before its passage in the upper house of Parliament, would guarantee seats for women in the national legislature and all state assemblies in the world’s largest democracy, where women have largely been kept on the sidelines of the legislative process.
Well, not anymore.
You can NOT have SET ASIDES and a DEMOCRACY, sorry!
Now, if you want to TAKE on a SOCIETY and CULTURE then maybe the ladies should (and do?) have a say?
Of course, that is DIFFERENT from GOVERNMENT!
And SINCE WHEN has GOVERNMENT ever advanced your rights for YOU, ladies? Sure took their fat-ass time doin' it!
The bill must still be passed by the lower house of Parliament. It is expected to pass, although analysts say opponents could use political maneuvers to delay the measure.
Well, their Congress certainly acts like a democrapy's.
“This is a momentous development in the long journey of empowering our women. Women are facing discrimination at home; there is domestic violence, unequal access to health and education. This has to end,’’ India’s prime minister, Manmohan Singh, said after legislators passed the bill yesterday. The new quotas, he said, will be “living proof that the heart of Indian democracy is sound and is in the right place.’’
I thought democracy was having a vote and casting it for who you wanted, not set asides deciding what limited choices you would have.
Loving that governmental double-talk, aren't you?
Only 59 women were elected to the current 545-member Lower House of the Indian Parliament.
Oh. I was under the impression that none did. Why would that be, MSM?
The new law would raise their total to 181 in the next national election.
Women’s representation in politics is not new to South Asia.
Excuse me?
Several nations, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, have elected women to their highest office.

Bet the Tamils would have been better off with a woman.
India elected a woman, Indira Gandhi, as its only female prime minister four times, between 1966 to 1984.
Yeah, that Gandhi dude must be rolling about in his... wait a minute, they cremated him and spread his ashes in the Ganges.
Well, if he were in a coffin you get my point about the womens rights, right, readers? The guy called for an end not just to gender discrimination but for an end to the caste system.
Then, blam, blam!!!!
In its 2009 report on global gender disparities, the World Economic Forum ranked India 114th in a list of 134 countries. Gender bias is widely blamed for cases of female infanticide that have worsened India’s sex ratio to 933 women for every 1,000 men.
First time I've seen mention of that.
According to UNICEF, about 36 percent of Indian women are chronically undernourished, and the nation has one-third of the world’s child brides.
And they TORCH some of them, too -- or so my anthropology classes told me.
Advocates of the bill say greater female representation in Indian politics will help make women’s issues a higher priority for policy makers.
“Issues like female infanticide will no longer be seen as a soft subject but will become the core of the nation’s political agenda’’ said Brinda Karat, a member of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), during the debate in the upper house.
Oh, that is who is promoting the women's rights?

Just an FYI for you, readers. I suppose India will be heading that way.
With all the people and poverty they are pumping out maybe they need some of the horrid procedures.
Yesterday’s passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill was not without controversy.
Nothing ever is in the newspaper -- unless it promotes and supports the agenda.
After it was tabled Monday, some lawmakers tore up copies of the bill, flung the shreds at the chairman of the upper house, and shouted their objections.
I wish someone in D.C. would do that to their damn health tax.
Opponents objected to the bill because they said it lacked specific quotas for women from lower castes and religious minorities.
That was there objection?
Similar objections had held up the bill on three other occasions over the past 14 years.
“All we want is that the women from real India, like those toiling in the farms and villages, are brought forward,’’ said one opponent, Laloo Prasad Yadav, leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal party.Before they get burnt.

"Facebook to open an office in India" by Associated Press | March 16, 2010
MUMBAI — The social-networking site Facebook is opening an operations office in India, its first in Asia, to help manage rapid growth in the number of users.
Just be careful who you make friends with, Indians:
FBI Goes Undercover on Facebook
Glad I'm not on it.
The office, in the Indian city of Hyderabad, will have advertising and developer support teams, the company said yesterday. It will supplement Facebook’s other centers in Palo Alto, Calif., Dublin, and Austin, Texas.
The correct word is OUTSOURCING.
The move is part of a push to create support centers across time zones, with round-the-clock, multilingual support, the company said. The number of Facebook users has rocketed to over 400 million since it was founded in 2004.
Seventy percent of users are now outside the United States and use the site in over 70 languages, Don Faul, director of global online operations, said in his blog yesterday....
That's a lot of people to watch, FBI.
Hyderabad is one of India’s technology hubs and a base for Google, Microsoft, and IBM.
Yeah, that's where all those "good, high-skilled, tech" jobs are going -- part of the 8+ million you've canned, America.
More on the way.
