Working Girl

Well, I have an update concerning the ban on women in the workplace after 8 PM in Karnataka. After many demonstrations and vociferous protests by women's groups, the government saw the light and decided to withdraw the ban. I suspect that my sarcasm-laden post on this issue was brought to the attention of the Labour Minister and greatly influenced the decision. Okay, maybe not, but I am grateful that the people here made a stand and demanded fair treatment. With all of the apathy here concerning the people's ability to affect any sort of change, I feel that this is a very positive result. You go girls!!!
