By IANS, New Delhi: Even as Samajwadi Party (SP) and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Sunday launched fresh attacks on the women's reservation bill in its present form, two other parties -- the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) also indicated that they were not in full agreement. JD-S chief H.D. Dewe Gowda said that his party was not against reservation for women but would push for a quota for backward classes. The JD-S has two members in the Rajya Sabha, where the bill is slated to come up for discussion and vote Monday.

Vaibhav Chhaya: A maverick voice of dissent into the poetic world

Dalit

By Yogesh Maitreya, “With all my baggage gone I can travel light now, forging on deeper into forest” says Haruki Murakami in his Kafka on the Shore. The same feeling can be drawn as soon as one finishesreading ‘Delete Kelela Sarr Aakash’ (Entire deleted sky), the first poetry book by Vaibhav Chhaya. Vaibhav writes poetry in Marathi. And the forest of his poem is equally risky and beautiful, one who could see the life in the underbelly, would certainly remain unsettled after brooding into the forest of his poems.
