Welcome ! Ten years ago a bangladeshi High court banned fatwas against women sentenced to brutal punishment. Euphemism ? of course, is there enough in a word to speak about the expérience a tortured woman lives ? Some would say that image would be more relevant ? But i believe too much in words to exclude them from speaking about it... How far CAN words speak ? Clerics appealed this judgement. The suprême court answered and took a signifiant position now ! May 2011 ! Clerics consider that fawtas are intégral part of islamic religions practice. Islam is the main religion of the bangladedshi peuple practiced in a moderato form. The suprême court said that fatwas CAN be performed but with a limit : it cannot be enforced ? What does it mean ? CAN the absence of enfoncement be enforced ? What does it mean for a village woman to be sentenced by a fatwa may the torturius act it includes so far not be performed ? If one looks back at the past, fatwas performed sometime even lead to the death of the condemned woman. Even though the High court jugement had been given, ftwas kept on occuring these last years. What Will the suprême court jugement do ? What kind of enforcement does the suprême court jugement have ? Is there any one bringing the jugement to the sentenced woman in the future ? Will it reach her juges ? Will it reach the village population, the family with which she lives ? CAN we assume that she Will stand up and quote the suprême court how Will it be Heard ? What is legal enfoncement all about ? It seems here to be about the confrontation of ways of making world... It seems to be about representation necessarily diverse within people s mind... Some Will say that its better than nothing... Yes... Time is fleeting and Life is bumping on its sharp skin... 12/05/2011 civil appeal appelate division - suprême court of Bangladesh Case 593-94/01 P) Mr. Md. Nawab Ali, Mr. Md. Aftab Hossain R) Mr. A.

From the 9th until the 11th of November, here in Delhi, hindu's  families are celebrating the festival of Diwali in the honor of the goddess of wealth Lakshmi.


                                                    

The interior of the houses is consequently adapted to this moment of praying.the family is gathered in a room, sitting on the floor without shoes around the created altar for that event. some statues are present and a priest is recitating some texts in hindi in front of the people who eventually give present to the goddess.
















                                              

In the house, some candels, and lights were put everywhere for that particular moment of the year.

                                                     

In the universary campus, the different hostels where people live have also been decorated by lights, and also by those drawings of colored powder on the floor.



















                                          

Finally, the main feature of this time is definitely the firecracks tearing the sky and the usual silent and quietness of the Delhi night. Most of the people say that this is nothing comparing to what happened 5 years ago, but still, there were noises from the dusk to the early morning.
