The Royal Victorian Chain is an award, instituted in 1902 by King Edward VII as a personal award of the Monarch(i. e. not an award by the British or any other Commonwealth Realm government). Although it is similar in appearance to the Royal Victorian Order, the two awards are unrelated. The Royal Victorian Chain does not confer upon its recipients any style or title-in fact, the Chain is not even given a precedence within any Commonwealth honours system-but it represents a personal token of high distinction and esteem from the Monarch. The Chain can be conferred upon men and women, both of the Realms and foreign. The chain is in gold, decorated with motifs of Tudor rose, Thistle, Shamrock and Lotus Flower(symbolizing England, Scotland, Ireland and India respectively), and a crowned, red enamelled cipher of King Edward VII "ERI"(Edwardus Rex Imperator), surrounded by a gold wreath for men, upon which the badge is suspended. The chain is worn around the collar by men, or with the four motifs and some chain links fixed to a riband in the form of bow(blue with red-white-red edges) on the left shoulder by women. However the Queen's sister Princess Margaret in later life wore her chain around the collar, as male recipients do.  1, record 2, English, - Royal%20Victorian%20Chain

Vidéo produit en 1986 par l'Office national du film. La discrimination peut prendre mille visages qui tous sont solidement enracinés dans la religion, les coutumes et les traditions. Il n'est donc pas étonnant qu'en Inde les femmes n'aient pas la vie facile, les lois ancestrales se heurtant quotidiennement aux valeurs modernes et aux technologies nouvelles. Ce film témoigne du sort réservé aux Indiennes et des démarches que certaines d'entre elles ont entrepris afin de changer les choses.  1, record 5, French, - La%20fin%20d%27un%20long%20silence
