<description><![CDATA[In this edition of Panoscope, we are in India where many state governments have already started industrialized farming of Jatropha, a source of biofuel and have formulated individual state policies as well. However, the terms under which the government declares a tract of land as &apos;wasteland&apos; and allocates it for the cultivation of Jatropha has become the subject of a huge debate.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In this edition of Panoscope, we are in Pakistan where Muslim workers in a leather factory fatally beat up a Hindu co-worker for alleged derogatory remarks about the Prophet of Islam. This incident was another casualty on the national media. Except for a few newspapers, media completely ignored or underplayed it. Human rights campaigners believe that this kind of vigilante gets steam from discriminatory laws relating to blasphemy and the resultant intolerance in society.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In this edition of Panoscope, we are in Nepal, listening to the lives and times of &quot;positive&quot; people, those living with H-I-V and AIDS. The first case of HIV/AIDS was reported in Nepal in 1988. Since then, the country has seen a sharp rise in numbers moving Nepal from being a low-prevalence country to one battling a concentrated epidemic. UNAIDS estimates that Nepal has around 70,000 &quot;positive&quot; people as of December 2007.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In this edition of Panoscope, we go to Pakistan&apos;s only developed port city, Karachi. In an arbitrary move, the government has allocated huge parts of the city&apos;s coastal areas and islands to U.A.E based companies for mega city projects. Over a dozen civil society organizations are fighting the move fearing the repercussions including detrimental effects to the environment.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In this edition of Panoscope, we go to Pakistan&apos;s commercial capital Karachi which is also the melting pot of about 16 million dwellers and is politically known for one ethnic community: the Urdu speaking migrants originally hailing from different Indian states. This section of population is essentially the migrants of not just the 1947 partition of the sub-continent but the 1971 creation of Bangladesh as well.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In this edition of Panoscope, we go to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to meet Nepali migrant workers working at a McDonald&apos;s outlet. Unlike most migrant workers who arrive here with no jobs or are given difficult jobs in palm plantations, the workers at McDonald&apos;s are relatively better off. But they still feel cheated, mostly by agents who brought them to this Southeast Asian country promising them a job at an &quot;American restaurant&quot; and an &quot;American salary&quot;.]]></description>
