Letter.

Letter Published in The National UAE on 26 Aug 22Regarding Taniya Dutta's article Floods and landslides kill at least 50 people in India (August 22): the rains have been especially severe this year in many parts of India. The report on the damage in the country's northern and eastern states was comprehensive. That a 64-year rainfall record was broken in Dharamshala, a beautiful town with the highest cricket pitch in the world, is remarkable. It's not a healthy sign though that the aftermath of the monsoon season has been so deadly. Speedy arrangements from several state governments have helped people in the affected areas where houses have been washed away and families have lost loved ones. Infrastructure, like the roads, has been badly damaged. No one can stop the fury of nature. I pray for respite in the coming days even though the forecast is bleak. The authorities should gear up to expect a rise in causalities. K Ragavan, Bengaluru, India

Letter.

Letter Published in The National UAE on 12 August 22 ,Women's empowerment initiatives need to be genuine I write in reference to Taniya Dutta's article Indian state warns men against taking oath of office for wives elected to village councils (August 8): as the cliche goes, there are many Indias. On one hand, the country has made great progress when it comes to women's empowerment; on the other, we read or hear stories of women continuing to live in the shadows of men. Sometimes one wonders what the point is of reserving 33 per cent of seats for women in India's village government system, when, in many cases, it is not the women representatives but their husbands who are calling the shots. Kudos to the state government for stepping in to resolve this problem. And while I end up feeling a little exasperated after reading such stories, a part of me genuinely believes that we are making progress, even if it is slow. Some critics may call women's reservation an eyewash, but surely it will inspire countless girls to play an active role in governance and nation-building. K Ragavan, Bengaluru, India

Letter.

Letter Published in The National UAE on 5Aug22Is Kabul sheltering Al Qaeda operatives? I write in reference to Sulaiman Hakemy's report Afghans stunned to learn terror leader Al Zawahiri was living in central Kabul (August 2): I am not surprised to read that ordinary Afghans have reacted to the news of Al Zawahiri's killing with "uncertainty" and "trepidation". After all, authorities in Kabul have been tight-lipped about the US government's attack. Ever since the Taliban takeover almost a year ago, there have been fears that Afghanistan will once again become a terrorist haven. People will wonder whether the regime is providing sanctuary to Al Qaeda leaders and operatives, like it did when it was previously in power. They will be nervous about the fallout of the assassination. In these circumstances, it's hard to expect peace and stability to return to Afghanistan anytime soon. K Ragavan, Bengaluru, India
