india drops intrusive personal-health queries about private feminine matters

apr 12, 2007

why didn't the ELM make any noise about this? that must be because this is just part of RTI. yes, that's the ticket. arjun singh has the RTI about your periods.

anyway, arjun singh seems to have retreated temporarily from the panty battle. of course, being the persistent man that he is, it is certain this query will come back somewhere else. this is all part of 'detoxification'. remember 'toxic shock syndrome'? arjun wants to make sure that the paternalistic indian government will protect women bureaucrats from toxic shock syndrome by keeping close tabs on their personal health.
