Submitted by arindamp on Sat, 2020-03-07 12:28

Yet another example of gender bias against men in India. Excerpt:

'The Archeological Survey of India (ASI) has decided to make women’s entry free to all centrally protected monuments including Taj Mahal on International Women’s Day on Sunday. For the first time women will get free access to the 142 monuments across the nation.

Confirming this, Superintending Archaeologist in ASI Agra circle Vasant K Swarankar, said that all women including foreigners will get free entry to the monuments. He said eight such monuments exist in Agra including three world heritage sites.'
