To avoid misuse of this suicide note, I have already put five copies of this letter at different places,” says a suicide note found near the body of Amol Rajendra Devkar (28), an employee of the Pune university who commited suicide on Monday.

Patriarchal society's approach to correcting the gender power balance is wrong-headed
One of the big myths of the women's lib movement is that women have everything to gain from greater gender equality and men everything to lose. Both sexes have bought this argument lock, stock and barrel without stopping to think. Given widespread acceptance that women have been discriminated against, this is not surprising.
But it's not the whole story. While there is no doubt formal power will have to be more equally shared, the real truth lies somewhere in-between: men have much to gain from a more equal society and women have something to lose from it.

New Delhi: Notwithstanding the couple's mutual recrimination including trading of charges of cruelty, perverted sexual behaviour and pointing to their living separately for 18 years, the Supreme Court has quashed the divorce decree granted by the Punjab and Haryana high court.
A bench of justice VS Sirpurkar and justice Surinder Singh Nijjar quashed the high court order on the ground that it was illegal as no such direction could be passed since a decree of judicial separation passed by a single judge providing one year time for reconcillation was subsisting.

Kendrapara: While it is common for a woman to be subject of torture at the hands of her husband or in-laws, it is very rare when a husband falls prey to the wife’s cruelty and torture. Such a rare case has recently come to the fore in the coastal Kendrapara district. A man unable to bear the cruelty of his wife lodged an FIR against her in the police station and the police consequently arrested the woman and the court sent her to judicial custody.
The matter came to the fore on Saturday, when one Sheikh Amiruddin of Jaipura village lodged an FIR against his divorced wife Ansari Begum at Kendrapara town police station alleging that she assaulted him physically and mentally even after their talaq and staying separately.
