Friends,
Though the matter had come into discussion many a times earlier also but somehow my attention to this news Article went today only when I saw on the last page of a Hindi daily news titled-"Amazonian guards of Libya's rule Gaddafi." It had some brief details about the women guards that move along with Gaddafi al the time and whom Gaddafi has been relying upon for quite some time. The paper also carried a few colour photographs of Col Gaddafi along with these imposing and impressive women guards. The Internet showed that this aspect had already been making news for the last many years. I present a few of such news links with a few questions, that came to my mind-
1. Isn't it true that presence of women guards instead of men guards makes all of us take notice of this fact?
2. Why is it that despite so much boasting of gender parity, even the West is not able to take such a news item as being a mater of fact?
3. Isn't Media a very important tool of warfare where selective leaking of such news, with some intended and inherent purposes, is done?
