The sub-quota scheme may now lead to a ganging up of non-Vanniyars in individual constituencies against the Vanniyars just as in the past, such ganging up against SC-ST candidates was seen in the non-quota constituencies, says N Sathiya Moorthy.

If Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the sole issue for the Tamil Nadu voter in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, two years down the line, in the state assembly elections due on April 6, he continues to hog the limelight -- but with ‘internal reservations’, induced by ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam ally in the state, as an add-on. Barring the state Bharatiya Janata Party, which sticks to the ‘Modi imagery’,  no political party or leader is up to arguing for or … [Read more...] about EPS’s Vanniyar sub-quota trick may become TN’s sole poll issue

SINGAPORE - Competitive floorball returned on Saturday (March 6) as the Back2Floorball Modified League got underway at Our Tampines Hub, albeit against an unusual backdrop without crowds and full-sized squads. Among the changes to the tournament was a reduction in the number of players per team from six - five players and a goalkeeper - to four a side. Games were also split into three shifts of 15 minutes instead of the usual 20, and teams had to field three separate groups of four players for each shift. With fewer players present at the courts, the competition venue was significantly quieter and the silence was initially strange for Black Wonderstick's Amshar Amin, 26. But the forward, whose team beat Ainos 13-4 on Saturday, was just happy to be competing again. He said: "All of us were excited for this competition because we can showcase what we'd been training for and we need that competitive edge on top of just training with our teammates.

The feminist movement of the 1960s and 1970s reminded the world that women have always played important historical roles, despite often being overlooked. But even in the 21st century, many popular history books are written by and about men —usually covering war heroes, generals, and the country's founding fathers. Studies of U.S. history and social studies classes also find that state education standards focus on men and gloss over the roles of women outside of the home. Though many people today proudly proclaim to be feminists , women around the world are still paid less for the same work, live in fear of physical violence and sexual assault , and lack rights and representation across industries. Women's History Month in March and the commemoration of International Women's Day on March 8 allow us to celebrate the strides women have made across social, economic, political, and cultural spectrums. Observing milestones in women's history also reminds us of the steps still … [Read more...] about 102 Years of Milestones in Women’s History
