As 2012 came to a close, news of the gang rape of a young woman in India's capital generated headlines around the world. Her assault on a moving bus with a metal rod, and her death two weeks later from her injuries, focused attention on the dark side of the world's largest democracy: the struggle that faces many Indian women in a country where chauvinistic and misogynist attitudes prevail.
The Wall Street Journal's Indian bureau explored this horrendous crime and others that explore the experience of Indian women in the 21st century. The reporting in all the stories stands out form its gripping detail and its emotional pull. In many cases, central figures involved in these dramas were speaking for the first time.
4. Book: Dyslexia Decoded; Author: Bina Nangia; Publisher: Hay House; Pages: 224; Price: 299
It is only when you read about real life stories that you want to believe that strategies work. The methods suggested in this book have been tried and tested for more than two decades with different levels of difficulties, different students and a variety of situations.
Processing information and using proper sound system results in learning differently, while styles of learning when incorporated in teaching, makes mild learning difficulties disappear. Emotional, social impacts of learning difficulties cannot be ignored as they cause greater harm than the difficulty itself. This book shows you just that and emphasises the need to counsel students, teachers, parents and schools.
