In a shocking incident, over 200 boys of Sardar Patel Vidyalaya, New Delhi, were made to strip and their genitals 'examined' as part of a "routine medical test".
The test was done by doctors on behalf of a well-know private doctor of the city -- and all without the consent of the parents of the boys. The doctor is the head of the paediatrics department of a Noida-based private hospital.

There's magic, and then there's magic.
The real charm of the Harry Potter [Images] books, as any Pottermaniac will vouch for, is not so much in the fantastic spells the boy wizard and his friends learn at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but the magic of human emotions.
You don't have to be a fantasy fan to like Harry Potter; the core of the books is closer to P G Wodehouse school stories than Tolkien. That's what the four films before Order Of The Phoenix failed to grasp.
