India’s Richest Beggars Will Make You Feel Really Bad About Yourself

Some parents are adamant about career options for their kids and wouldn't want to look beyond engineering and medicine. Begging, for example, is generally not considered a viable profession to pursue, mostly because of stiff competition and limited financial benefits.
But some pioneer beggars have shown that with dedication and true passion, one can achieve great success, no matter how unconventional the path is. Dare to think beyond IITs and IIMs, I say!

Barred From Civil Services Due To Disability, Meet Ira Singhal Who Just Topped The 2015 UPSC Exam

Ira Singhal suffers from scoliosis. Which means that her spine is bent.

Fortunately, her spirit isn't, and she was determined not to let her physical disability limit her.

Source: Facebook
The 31-year-old had first cleared the Civil Services Exam in 2010 and had been allotted the Indian Revenue Services (IRS). But the revenue department refused to giver her a posting because of her deformity and her height (she can't twist her arms because of her deformed spine and she's only 4 feet 5 inches tall). The official reason given was  her "inability to push, pull and lift".
But even after the revenue department eventually relented, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) refused to give her a posting. But that didn't deter her either.

Supreme Court: Unwed Mother Can Be The Sole Legal Guardian Without Father's Consent


NEW DELHI -- In a landmark judgment, the Supreme Court has said that an unwed mother in India can become the sole legal guardian of a child without the consent of the father.
The bench led by Justice Vikramjit Sen overrides existing Indian laws which require a woman to take a man's permission before applying for guardianship.
Ranjana Kumari, a women's rights activist and director of the Delhi-based Centre for Social Research think tank, described it as a "progressive stand."
The plaintiff, a government official, approached the Supreme Court in 2011 after a trial court and the Delhi High Court ruled that she needed to disclose the father's name to get his consent while filing a guardianship petition.
