We frugally minded routinely use insurance comparison sites.But how many of us choose to actively haggle with insurers?This piece below,that I came a cross on the internet today has some interesting points to cite while bargaining.I have highlighted them in red.
It seems like there is insurance for everything these days. You need to get some on your car just to be legally able to drive round. You should have it on your house since it is such a large investment and you would not want it all to be lost due to something like a storm or a house fire. At the same time, there are additional policies, such as flood insurance, that you can consider for the house. On top of all of that, you may want to consider insurance on things like art,boats, motorcycles and the like. Does it sound like this is going to be too expensive? Read more of this post

Its no secret that female lives are cheap in India.Female infanticide,maternal mortality,dowry deaths etc. are so commonplace as to not merit front page news.To add to these horrors,there’s one more- dedicating young girls to serve the Goddess Yellamma.
The Devadasi system is banned in India since 1988.But this doesn’t stop people from dedicating daughters to Yellamma in the hopes of getting a son next time round or simply to escape dowering a daughter to get her married off.Worse,the girls so dedicated are forced into prostitution.
MASS ie Mahila Abhivrudhi Maththu Samrakshana Samsthe is an organisation comprising of former devadasi women. The organisation promotes development of former devadasis in Belgaum district, Karnataka. In 1987, MASS was registered as a society. It is now an independently functioning organisation with a membership of over 5000 devadasis. The vision of MASS is the eradication of devadasi system and empowerment of exploited women and young girls trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation under the guise of the devadasi practice.
