		<description><![CDATA[The criminal attacks on Indian students in Melbourne is deplorable, must be condemned by every law abiding, free spirited Australian. However, the issue appears to have been blown out of proportion by the Australian and Indian Media as well as student groups in Australia.
Firstly, to protest is fine; but when you overdo it, people get [...]]]></description>

&#8216;Untouchable&#8217; becomes India&#8217;s first female speaker. Wow! I usually respect ABC for their content and editorial punctiliousness, but, man, have they been shooting themselves on their feet of late? Is it ABC or is it me that is unnecessarily sensitive, since I hail from India and am quite [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was interesting to read this bit of news. Apparently, several young women who are unable to pursue maternal instincts due to a range of issues, now have the opportunity to freeze their ova in advance and perhaps latter, attempt to conceive.
