India). Good for them protesting against corrupt officials and insisting on rights and education for women, children and the poor.<br />BBC news article:<br />"The pink women of Banda shun political parties and NGOs because, in the words of their feisty leader, Sampat Pal Devi, "they are always looking for kickbacks when they offer to fund us". <br />Now it comes out that child labour is being used at the Games. <br />The pink sari gang may use rather unconventional ways - but at least they are taking a stand and trying to make change happen.Nancy Zrymiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04416166550772283031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-443365412929958487.post-29723288558981116942010-09-25T06:22:50.328+05:302010-09-25T06:22:50.328+05:30Nancy, listened to the guy in charge on the CBC.

India is a one-of-a-kind country and they do things their own way. If anyone thought India would produce games like Australia or Canada (or anyone else) they just didn't know India.Nancy Zrymiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04416166550772283031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-443365412929958487.post-1407593490539397132010-09-24T18:56:22.385+05:302010-09-24T18:56:22.385+05:30Couldn't really figure out in the end if the a...Couldn't really figure out in the end if the article was negative or positive, maybe neutral! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
