We all go through a little discrimination here and there,but to have your Human rights violated just because you are a different color, cast or creed is not acceptable by any means anywhere in the world.It is very disturbing when it happens in Canada , a country known to be multicultural and “Civilized” .

Six Abbostsford, BC residents of the South Asian origin playing tennis in Langley were attacked and robbed while offenders shouted racial slurs directed at them.Police have arrested three young men and a woman.

While Condemning the actions by the four charged persons and applauding the police and concerned citizens who called the police after witnessing the assault “May be what everyone has to realize now that I don’t want to be tolerated anymore, I want to be included,I want to be accepted.” said Canadian Film maker Roger Nair of the Canadian multicultural policy. “Pierre Trudeau came out with the word Tolerance because may be thats what was needed at the time may be people had to tolerate other people who knows”, says the filmmaker who immigrated from India to Canada in the late eighties .”But look around you today, the demographics in Canada has changed and the policy is outdated” , adds Mr. Nair.

Roger Nair is a film maker and a human rights activist who chairs SAHRA (South Asians for Human Rights Association) , an association dedicated to promoting Human rights and speaking out against violations of them.

The multiculturalism policies in Canada were written based on tolerance and may be that was what was needed at the time and anyone who didn’t look like the majority population had to be tolerated , but looking around us today, we live in a mosaic of cultures for the most part of Canada and thats what makes Her the Country Of Choice. As Indian religious leader Swami Vivkeananda once said “TOLERATION means that I think you are wrong and I am just allowing you to live . I believe in ACCEPTANCE”

Canada is a country that is built by immigrants for immigrants. It is important for us to educate ourselves about Human Rights , the rights that we have because We are Human , the rights that can not be taken away for any reason. No incidents like this Langley incident or the immigrant beating in Australia or the bashings in UK are to be condemned by giving lip service.Stern action is needed and examples have to be made. May be its time to give teeth to Human rights , to give them force of law.

The very first human right states, WE ARE ALL BORN FREE AND EQUAL.

The Kurti is one of the biggest fashion formulae created by fashion pundits. It suits every age and season. Indian Kurti Tunic is the ideal for year around wear. All you need to ensure is the right fabric, the right color, the right silhouette, and the right surface design at the right time. Indian Fashion goes through a cycle of birth and rebirth of styles. Quintessentially Indian, the kurti has made a great comeback. It has been sailing strong for the past three seasons and can be worn anytime anywhere!

Unlike the kurta, Kurti comes across as the ideal Spring and Summer wear. With their `quick-fix’ solutions, fabrics such as viscose georgette, polyester georgette and crepe blends form a perfect setting for rainy days. A bright color comprising dark hues that conceal stained and soiled spots are ideal. The length of the kurtis varies between mid-thigh level and a little above the knee. The style could be `tight-fit’ or `semi-fit’. Opt for slits that are not too long (between 10 inches to 12 inches). You could fashionably team them up with cap sleeves, short sleeves or three-quarter sleeves. To team up bottoms, Salwar Kameez offer more fabric volume. Go in for churidar concepts but in polyester- lycra blends that not only provide an excellent fit but also are easy to wash and dry. You could also team up slim-fit pants (ankle length, capris) to create an element of interest. Complete the look with dupattas, scarves or stoles.

Spring is the time for `flower power’. Go for bright floral concepts thrown over simple kurtis. Also, juxtapose geometry with the same in the form of panels, two-piece sleeves, princess lines; and pin tucks. Simple georgette bases with minimal sequin work look good. Surface design as sequin work following the contours of floral motifs on fabric bases is ruling strong. Techniques such as block printing, cross-stitch, kantha work, beadwork and mirror work offer a superlative status to the kurti. The kurti sails from college classrooms to convocation ceremonies, from the workplace to business luncheons, and from movie halls to evening cocktails.
