Environmental degradation is a fact of life; so is species moving into the extinct list.
But once in a while, against the flow, few previously though-to-be extinct species turns out to survivors; albeit in small numbers. recently two such magnificient creatures moved back from the extinct list to the endangered list
Angola's Giant Sable Antelope
Arkansas Ivory-Billed Woodpecker
These two incidents are a joyful occasion; but it should not turn us away from the challenges of eco-conservation. Just imagine that we are being given a second chance to do better; there may not be a third chance!

Really glad to hear this news. Am a amateur bird watcher and know a fair bit of the Nilgiri bird population.In fact I will be going on one such expedition next week.

Hey ! why are you guys so much against women. It clearly indicates the MCP in you even though you deny it at the surface. The idea of married women getting more tax exemption, do not snatch bread from your mouth or deprive you from any of your existing benefits. In India Women are still supressed in many ways and for sure donot enjoy the freedom as men do let it be in the field of studies(of their choice),sports, career, marriage, many other issues. There are still MCP's who cannot see women being happy or enjoying some space.. If Govt. is provididng with this tax exemption, why do you guys cribb....ultimately the penny saved comes to the home where the man indirectly gets a part of it, would you deny? if your wife gets a tax exemption, doesn't it effect u.
Talking abt the poor women whose earnings are below 1 Lakh, well govt is undertaking some projests on women education and employmet. To support it, why dont u guys do some thing ?
"It would make sense if you contribute to some thing and then comment."
If the govt is exempting women from tax, that should not be a qs. of concern as it encourages women employment and participation and also indirectly hepls a family a whole. Also by giving this benefit to a married women, I'm sure she would responsible enought to properly utilize the saved amount for her family.So this way the women is encouraged and the family too is benefitted which includes MEN.
