Ho Topic: 3 Session: oral Abstract: Quasars (of type I) are the luminous analogs of type I Seyfert galaxies. Within the framework of unified models of active galaxies, the population of quasars of type II recently discovered with Sloan Digital Sky Survey are the luminous analogs of type II Seyfert galaxies. In quasars (of type I) we are looking down the jet (also called as the \"pole-on\" view), whereas in quasars of type II we are viewing the jet broadside (also called as the \"edge-on\" view). Since, our knowledge and understanding of the radio properties of these type II quasars is very limited, we will present our, first results from recently scheduled observations, preliminary observational radio properties of these sources and test the predictions of unification scheme models. We will also compare the radio properties of type I and II quasars with the radio properties of Seyfert (radio-quiet) and radio (radio-loud) galaxies, thereby compare the radio jets of \"other\" AGNs with the radio jets of type II quasars.
