 THE EXODUS CONTINUES ! A fire exploded at Kokrajhar and even before anyone could react, it spread for hundreds of miles all around and engulfed a significant part of Bodoland (India’s Biggest tragedy-a Bridge too far, Cover Story, OUTLOOK, Aug 13,2012) It continued for days fuelled by firing, killing, arson and every inhuman act one can think of...........leaving innumerable homeless and forced to move to unknown destinations...........a mass aimless exodus !

RAPE AND MOLESTATION

GENDERS, media, social trends, TERRORISM, TV
 SHAME GAME !! The Assam Molestation Case has not only once again lowered the head of all Indian men, but has blatantly showed how badly our system, including the police law and politicians handle such issues. (ASSAM MOLESTATION CASE,INDIA TODAY,July 30,2012) It has also broken the myth that east is more tolerant and open minded and safe for the female clan. There was a time when Delhi roads were notorious for being unsafe for woman but now it seems that women and girls are unsafe all over the country, including the broad minded North East and the South, which is known for its high civic sense.

The movie has beautifully touched the various aspects of four very pertinent contemporary issues ,Single mother, Jammu and Kashmir issue,…
