(Reuters) - Women activists of India's main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) shout slogans after being detained by police during a protest against the ruling government for the women's reservation bill in front of parliament in New Delhi March 9, 2010. The women's bill is a test for Congress, which sees the quota as a cornerstone of its election-winning platform of inclusive growth, but which might lose some political capital needed to push economic reforms and maintain high growth.

(AP) - Animal rights activists enact a mock-up of scene of a butcher slaughtering a cow by cutting it’s throat, in a supermarket in Rome, Tuesday, March 2, 2010. A dozen activists, some dressed like cows, entered a supermarket selling Halal meat and enacted the scene in protest against the recent decision by the supermarket to open a Halal meat sector in Rome’s Casilino’s multiethnic neighbourhood. The activists say that the method used to slaughter the cows represents a useless suffering for animals and must be forbidden by Italian laws. According to Elzir Ezzedine, spokesperson for UCOII (Union of Italian Islamic communities), the animals used at the supermarket’s Halal meat sector are not submitted to useless sufferences, ’The animals are dazed after being shot with a special gun’, explained Ezzedine, ’and only after this procedure they have their throats cut with the traditional method’.
