AFP: Woman killed during KKK initiation rite
This news report has reference to the history of America. It has reference to the reconstruction period of America after the end of Civil War. Ku Klux Klan was a secretive society with racial agenda against the blacks.
Obama is the first Afro-American President of America. It is surprising to observe that since the day, his election to the post of the President has been announced there has been a repeated appearence of reports in America which have reference to the racial activities in past of America.
Further, it is fascinating that such organizations are still alive in America. Ku Klux Klan had left such an impact on the mind of the people not only in America, but in Europe also. It has found mentioned as a press clipping in one of the novel of Arthur O'Connole, the creator of character Shelock Holmes.

Preserving Indian Heritage with Foreign Help
Kalka-Shimla railway line declared World Heritage Site-India-The Times of India
I have been showing my concern towards the insensitivity of the Indians to their heritage. However, here, it is a news because UNESCO has accorded the status. That is quite fine. But why is it so that only a foreign identity comes and tell us what was so good in our heritage? I just believe in saying Mera Bharat Mahan. Or the recent crop of the so called Bollywood music director, whose only expertise is in using Pancham notes where they were not desired and shreik Maa Dujhe Salaam and the whole generation says Waha what a music? they make a good Music. They remind us of our heritage.
Forget it.
