NCRB 8,233 women died in disputes over dowry payments in 2012
4092013
National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), 8,233 women died in disputes over dowry payments given by the bride’s family to the groom’s family at the time of marriage in 2012 – that works out to be one death per hour.
The report comes as the world’s attention remains on women’s rights issues in India after a number of high-profile rape cases shocked the nation and the globe.
Thousands of Indian women die every year because the groom’s family deemed the dowry amount to be inadequate. Many of the women are doused with gasoline and burned to death. According to AFP, dowry demands continue even years after the marriage ceremony.
The number of deaths has been steadily growing, rising from 8,093 in 2007 to 8,618 in 2011.
The NCRB is responsible for the collection and processing of crime statistics at the national level.
Law does not allow the paying and receiving of a dowry, but century-old traditions remain in place despite legal boundaries.

Quake of 6.0 m hits off western Canada coast
A 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck off Canada’s Vancouver Island on Tuesday, the US Geological Survey reported. A tsunami is not expected after the quake, which hit 124 miles (200 kilometers) west of Port Hardy in British Columbia. The earthquake was identified as shallow, as it occurred 7.5 miles (12 kilometers) below the seabed. The western coast of Canada experiences small tremors on a relatively regular basis because of its proximity to the Queen Charlotte Fault, which marks the boundary between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates.

Global market plunge on Israeli test missile launch
Markets immediately fell on Tuesday after the Russian Defense Ministry reported the launch of two ballistic missiles in the eastern Mediterranean. The FTSE 100 slumped down nearly one percent (7.01 points), but later recovered, when the launch was claimed by IDF to be a joint Israeli-US early warning system test, refuting fears of a start to a Syrian offensive. Stock markets in Germany and France experienced similar losses. Traders reacted to fears of escalation of war in the Middle East as far as India, as the BSE Sensex fell nearly 4 percent (651 points) on “geopolitical worries,” media reports.

Half of Venezuela without power
4092013
A blackout left approximately half of Venezuela without power Tuesday. Government officials blamed the incident on a break in one of the nation’s major power transmission lines that provides electricity to the western and central regions of the country. Twelve of Venezuela’s 24 states were left in the dark, although authorities expected the lights to be turned back on within hours. The outage did not affect Venezuelan oil production. President Nicolas Maduro took to Twitter, claiming the evidence indicated “the far-right has resumed its plan for its electrical strike against the country.”

Philippine President Benigno Aquino has publicly announced the cancellation of a planned trip to a Beijing trade fair after Chinese officials expressed preconditions that Manila withdraw a UN arbitration case over disputed islands in the South China Sea.

Buddhism & Indian Philosophy
by Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche
An eminent and distinguished scholar, teacher, philosopher, leader and a lifelong campaigner for Gandhian principles, especially that of nonviolence.
Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche was born as Lobsang Tenzin in 1939 in the Tibetan province of Kham. At age five, he was recognized and enthroned as the reincarnation of the fourth Samdhong Rinpoche. (The Tibetan term “Rinpoche” in an honorific title literally meaning “precious one,” and is used for revered teachers and lamas.) He began his monastic studies at age 12 and eventually obtained a Doctorate in Buddhist sciences at the University of Drepung in Tibet in 1970. In 1959, Rinpoche fled to India to escape the repressive Chinese government in Tibet. There, he was commissioned by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to serve as a teacher to monks in exile. He was appointed director of the Central Institute for Higher Tibetan Studies in Varanasi in 1988 and remained there until 2001. On July 29, 2001, Rinpoche was named Kalon Tripa, or Prime Minister of the Tibetan Exile Government, the first political leader to be directly elected by the people in exile. Prof. Samdong Lobsang Tenzin Rinpoche has been appointed Chancellor of Sanchi Buddhist and Indic Studies University. The appointment has been made by the general council of Sanchi Buddhist and Indic Studies University.
The lecture is part of the monthly series on
MAJOR SCHOOLS OF INDIAN PHILOSOPHY Their impact on India’s Civilizational Heritage and Contemporary Relevance organized and in collaboration with the India International Centre
The talk series will explore some of the important philosophical traditions and the impact they have had on the Indian Mind. We hope to help cultivate a deeper understanding of India’s civilizational heritage in a manner that is accessible to a lay person. To start with we plan to look at Sāmkhya, Yoga, Nyāya, Vaiśeşika, Pūrva, Mīmāmsa and Uttara Mīmāmsa that advanced Vedic ideas & philosophies. In time we hope to look at the philosophies of The Mahābhārata, Śankara/Rāmānuja, Buddhism/Jainism, Ramakriṣhṇa/Vivekānanda and the four yogas (Karma, Bhakti, Raja, Hatha) etc.

Magnum Opus ‘Buddha’ to air on Zee TV
4092013
Grand Historical Magnum Opus ‘Buddha’
to air on Zee TV from 8th September
to air on Zee TV from 8th September
Billionaire BK Modi produces Buddha with Zee TV
A Side of Prince Siddharth’s Life
One knows Little About …
One knows Little About …
“Believing in Yourself is Not a Religion … It’s a Way of Life!” If a man who walked the earth in the year 500 BCE had the vision to say something that remains so relevant in the year 2013, it is no wonder, then, that he is counted amongst the most important personalities to have been born in the recorded history of India – Buddha!
We have all read about Buddha at one point or the other. Yet, so much remains to be explored about this powerful, magnetic thought leader who woke up to the ‘Ultimate Truth’ under the Bodhi Tree. For instance, did you know that it was Prince Siddharth who pioneered elephant warfare in his time? Do any of us even know what he was like, as a child? What were the influences that shaped his thinking as a youth? We know the leader and his school of thought, but little do we know about the beautiful person within.
Presenting Siddhartha’s illustrious journey of being born in the lap of luxury as a prince to his growing years to denouncing his throne and living the life of an ascetic to attaining ‘The Awakening’ is Zee TV’s next historical magnum opus ‘Buddha’ produced by Spice Studios.
Starting 8th September, Sunday mornings will never be the same again as ‘Buddha’ will air at 11 AM on Zee TV. Told in 52 gripping episodes, this series will be an entertaining action drama that showcases the unexplored life of Buddha as Siddharth. The show has an international appeal with its grand scale, opulent sets at the Film City spread over a sprawling 5 acre plot, an impressive cast with renowned names like Kabir Bedi, Samir Dharmadhikari, Nigaar Khan, state-of-the-art 3D graphics used to re-create the look and feel of a bygone era, well-researched costumes bought out of Jodhpur and Jaipur and customized jewellery sourced from Patna that bring alive the majestic lifestyles of the royal family of Kapilavastu.
Mr. Subhash Chandra, Chairman of ZEEL and Essel Group said, “ZEE (Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd) is delighted to partner with Dr B. K. Modi (Spice Studios) to present a new series which is a never-before-seen biopic on television on the life of ‘Buddha’. We have been working with many researchers and experts on the subject. Buddha is shown as one who has great compassion, is completely impartial, and embraces all living beings without discrimination. In today’s fast paced lives, where so much conflict exists in society, Buddha’s teachings are perfectly suited to the challenges man is currently facing. Beyond doubt, each and every faith globally believes that Buddha’s philosophy helps you find your own path to awakening … that Buddha is a spiritual guide who gives everyone the opportunity to enter the path of liberation and enlightenment. Our worldwide network of channels will offer an instant connect to millions of people as the philosophy of Buddha is universal.”
Dr B. K. Modi, Founder & Chairman, Spice group and Producer of “Buddha” said, “Today, youth of the world needs to be empowered and be very confident, fearless and believe in themselves. They are the future of the country and should rise above all the barriers of religions and traditions. And nurture in them qualities of compassion, equality & to create a violence free world”.
Amongst the cast, veteran actor Kabir Bedi will be seen making a comeback to acting after a long hiatus. Kabir has an important role to play in this epic drama. “I am playing a sage who foresees the coming of the Buddha.” says Kabir. Very few people know that the actor has a karmic connection with Buddhism. His mother has spent 15 years as a Buddhist nun in Tibet. Kabir himself has lived a life of a monk for a year in Burma. He feels a deep connection with the role and gave an instant nod when approached for it.
The handsome Samir Dharmadhikari, most remembered for his portrayal of King Gagadhar Rao, the husband of ‘Jhansi Ki Rani’, will play the righteous King Suddhodana, father of Prince Siddhartha. Nigaar Khan will dazzle as always in the negative role of Mangala, the vicious and cunning aunt of Prince Siddhartha. Actors Deepika Upadhyay, Gungun Uprari and Siddhartha Vasudev will play the roles of Queen Mahamaya, Queen Prajapati and Dronadhan respectively.
It is interesting to note that ‘Buddha’ was initially supposed to be made into a film. Spice Studios had begun work on a film based on the same subject with filmmakers Shekhar Kapur and Ashutosh Gowariker helming the research and script development. However, Dr. Modi explains his choice of medium saying, “The scope of television today is larger than films and we wanted Buddha’s story to unfold in all its splendour and reach out to the largest denominator of people possible. Only TV can give us that reach … especially ZEE, with its international reach spanning over 169 countries!”
Starting 8th September, discover new aspects about Prince Siddharth’s journey to enlightenment as the historical drama ‘Buddha’ airs at 11 AM every Sunday, only on Zee TV!
