| A ********** Aishwarya G., Indonesia: "The moral justification why Europe and especially England colonized the world lay in the necessity to liberate the women and children in indigenous cultures from barbaric practices such as polygamy. And now! Look at South Africa where our national hero, Mahatma Gandhi, fought for human rights for women. They now have a president, named Zulu Zuma, who has more than one wife at the same time. If he can get away with this, all colonization was in vain, and Mahatma Gandhi died for nothing. We from the All India Feminist Congress demand that sanctions be imposed again against South Africa, just like during aparthite, in order to force Zulu Zuma to be a true man, and to decide for ONE woman."
La justificación moral por las que Europa y especialmente Inglaterra colonizó el mundo estaba en la necesidad de liberar a las mujeres y los niños en los las culturas indígenas de las prácticas bárbaras como la poligamia. Y ahora! Mira a Sudáfrica, donde nuestro héroe nacional, Mahatma Gandhi, luchó por los derechos humanos de las mujeres. Ahora tienen un presidente, nombrado Zulu Zuma, que tiene más de una esposa, al mismo tiempo. Si él puede salir con la suya, todo fue en vano, la colonización, y Mahatma Gandhi murió por nada. Nosotros de la demanda de toda la India Feminista Congreso que las sanciones se impongan de nuevo contra Sudáfrica, al igual que durante aparthite, para obligar a Zulu Zuma a ser un verdadero hombre, y decidir por una mujer.

Nusa Tenggara / West Nusa Tenggara
Lombok is
noticeably different than its close neighbor, Bali. The northern
part of the Island is mountainous and lush with tall trees and
shrubs. The south on the other hand is arid and covered by savannas.
Large Asian mammals are absent and replaced Instead by marsupials,
lizards, cockatoos and parrots. The difference becomes more pronounced
as one moves further cast, where dry seasons are more prolonged
and corn and sago are the staple food, instead of rice.
At around
the time Islam first came to these islands in the 16th century,
four Hindu Kingdoms co-existed in apparent peace in what is now
West Nusa Tenggara. Lombok experienced strong Balinese influences,
but has retained a unique identity. The indigenous people of Lombok,
the Sasaks, are predominantly Moslem and have a strong, distinguished
tradition, as do the people of neighboring Sumbawa.
Soft, white
sand, virgin beaches are typical in Lombok, where the motto is:
"You can see Bali from Lombok, but not Lombok from Ball". Famous
for its ikat hand-woven textiles, the island has exceptional charm
and is relatively undiscovered, except for the town of Senggigi,
which is becoming a major resort area.
Regular shuttle
flights from Bali and Surabaya as well as ferries provide excellent
transportation links between the islands of the province as well
as the rest of the country.
