Bhopal gas victims support Malala Yousufzai - The Hindu [getdailynow.blogspot.com]
Victims and survivors of the Bhopal gas tragedy have extended their support to Pakistani teenager Malala Yousufzai who has stood up for women’s education.
The youth was recently shot at and injured by members of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan for speaking up against the militant outfit’s diktats over education for girls in Pakistan’s Swat region.
Ms. Yousufzai, who has been receiving support and adulation from all over the world for her struggle for women’s education, is recovering from the deadly attack at the Combined Military Hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan.
The gas victims, under the banner of the Bhopal Gas Peedit Mahila Udyog Sangathan, held a meeting in the city’s famous Yaadgaar-e-Shahjahani Park on Saturday to express their solidarity with the daring peace activist. They formed a human chain in support of Ms. Yousufzai and prayed for her well-being.
“We salute the young lady and the brave front she put up against extremist elements. We pray for her well-being and hope she recovers soon,†said Abdul Jabbar, a gas victim and convener of the Sangathan.

What is a commonwealth vs. state? Is Virginia a state or a commonwealth? How many commonwealth states do we have in the U.S.? There is no difference between a commonwealth and a state in the U.S. To Locke, Hobbes, and other 17th-century writers the term "commonwealth" meant an organized political community -- what we today call a "state." Officially Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Virginia, and Massachusetts are all commonwealths. When Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Virginia, and Massachusetts became part of the United States, they merely took the old form of state in their title. Today, commonwealth also means a political unit having local autonomy but voluntarily united with the U.S. These are Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands.

A lot...I lived in VA for a lot of years and basically they make their own rules and regulations. It's not fair and they overtax and over regulate. I'd rather live in a state anyday. Avoid them at all costs. Peace, Love & Happiness

It's like a part of our country but not an official state. Like Puerto Rico, it is technically a part of country yet we do not have 51 states.
