Jain’s Minority Status – A historical perspective
 
The world Jain community's demand for minority status is now a century old. When in British India, the Viceroy took a decision in principle that the Government would give representation to "Important Minorities" in the Legislative Council, (Petition Dated Sept 2nd September, 1909). The President of the Constituent Assembly Dr. Rajendra Prasad had nominated Shri Kasturbhai Lalbhai, a Jain industrialist as a Jain representative to Minority Advisory Committee to the Constituent Assembly.

Remembering Tarla Dalal
 
Passes Away at 77 | 1936 - 2013


Tarla Dalal, the Julia Child of Indian vegetarian cooking and author of over 17,000 recipes and 170 cookbooks, died in her sleep this past week at the age of 77. My family and I knew her well and had recently shared a meal with her at her plush Mumbai flat overlooking the Arabian Sea. I recall feeling the rush of wind and hearing the crashing of waves through the large bay windows as we taste-tested another one of her new recipes: pomegranate juice with lemon and a hint of chaat masala.
