TULASIGERI, India: When top Indian officials salute the national flag anywhere in the world, women in a village at the other end of the country from New Delhi swell with pride. This is because Tulasigeri is home to India´s only official flag-making company — and because the local men have proved themselves not up to the job. “The men were not as patient as the women and got the measurements wrong,” groans Annapurna Koti, a supervisor at the Karnataka Cotton Village Enterprise. “They had to unstitch the cloth and re-do the time consuming process,” she told AFP. “They left after the fourth day and never returned.” Around 400 people work for the state-owned company in the southern state of Karnataka, 2,000 kilometres from the capital, most of them women.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/World-TheNewsInternational/~4/1-BWR1bEkmc
