» Mohammed Maqbool Bhatt

By News Team | Published 04/13/2006 | Who's Who | Unrated

Mohammed Maqbool Bhatt - by Kumkum Chadha.

Mohammed Maqbool Bhatt aka Maqbool Butt has been called Baba-i-Qaum, father of the nation and Shaheed-e-Kashmir. He is the first Kashmiri hanged on Indian soil after 1932, making him the first authentic martyr of the Kashmiri independence movement.

Friends knew him as a true nationalist with a passion for Azadi. The enemies of Kashmiri freedom movement dubbed him as an 'enemy agent' on either side of LOC.

His friends are part responsible in provoking an Indian 'tit for tat' that resulted in his hanging. He was hanged in Tihar jail in India on 11th February 1984 exactly one week before his 46th birthday..

Gaash is publishing with thanks a rare insight by Kumkum Chadha into the life of the wronged leader of a nation that has consumed a generation in just 15 years and is still wandering in the wilderness of failure, mistrust and remains pitched against its own interests.

» Is the UN ready for a woman?

By News Team | Published 04/14/2006 | Human Rights | Unrated

By Rina Jimenez-David

Following the practice of "regional rotation" in the choice of secretary general of the United Nations, it's now supposedly Asia's "turn" to have a representative chosen as head of the global body, to take the place of Kofi Annan. But no one, apparently, has given much thought that it might also be a woman's turn.

» What is Malaria?

By News Team | Published 04/21/2006 | Habitat | Rating:

Malaria is a life-threatening parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitoes. It was once thought that the disease came from fetid marshes, hence the name mal aria, ((bad air). In 1880, scientists discovered the real cause of malaria a one-cell parasite called plasmodium. Later they discovered that the parasite is transmitted from person to person through the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito, which requires blood to nurture her eggs.
