However, not all Muslim clerics are happy; some have already slammed it
The controversial new nikahnama (marital agreement)
unveiled by All-India Muslim Women’s Personal Law Board (AIMWPLB) had some All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) members rubbishing it as “redundant”.
“It’s utterly useless, irrelevant. We have one already from the AIMPLB and there is no room for another,” said AIMPLB member Maulana Khalid Rasheed Firangimahali. A woman member, Moonisa Bushra, also saw no reason for the drafting of the new nikahnama. However, Khalid and Bushra have few takers. “This is just male chauvinism,” said Fazul Haque, a senior journalist & expert on women’s issues. This is the third nikahnama that has promised to give women some power. The AIMPLB and the All-India Shia Muslim Personal Law Board had released their own “model nikahnamas” in 2005....Continue

talked about Tata Chemicals Ltd. (TCL) that has created the buzz. The company announced a big ticket billion dollar mega acquisition of the US-based natural soda ash maker – General Chemicals Industrial Products (GCIP) on January 31. The acquisition (100% stake through a mix of debt & equity) will not only make TCL the 2nd largest soda ash maker in the world, but also help it command over 14% (over 5.5 million tonnes) of the world’s total soda ash capacity. However, it’s the choice of the target that deserves the real applause! Once the acquisition is complete, over 50% of TCL’s capacity would be through the natural route. This means both sustainability and natural hedge against the commodity cycle. “Since GCIP is using trona natural mineral, which can be converted into soda ash and is more cost effective (as production cost of natural soda ash is 40-45% cheaper than the cost of producing synthetic soda), it means increased profitability for TCL”, avers Rohit Nagraj, Sr. Research Analyst, Angel Broking. A Tata Chemicals spokesperson confirmed to B&E that “by 2009 and 2010, we will have more such overseas acquisitions as we believe Tata Chemicals has not yet utilised its full potential”.
workday (watching others slog), the thought of a sunny Jaisalmer trip full of adventure and intriguing cultural revealing was rendering dreamy smirks on my face. The 22-hour long journey was tiresome on occasions when I watched the train halt at as many as 40 almost stranded stations and looked at a travel partner whose agenda seemed no less than setting a world record in sleeping the longest (as well as the loudest). But as soon as I stepped at the Jaisalmer station, energy gushed in. Looking at its low-ceiling construction with wonderfully designed pillars, I handed over myself to the royal city. As I turned around, the Punjabi Jat lad seemed to have done the same too, though in a manner typical to him, stretching out wide (and loud) at the very centre of the railway station, in full public view.
