India: Equality or Privileged Treatment?
Do women really want equality or it's a mask for seeking privileged treatment? A good article by Chandan Mitra - a senior Indian journalist. Excerpt:
'At the risk of inviting the wrath of vocal women's activists in the metros, I must unambiguously state that I do not think there is any concerted or deliberate discrimination against women or in-built gender bias in the professions. In fact, India's record in this regard, be it politics, business, the civil services, law, medicine, academia - the list could be hugely long - is better than that of the West. Arguably, women do face some unequal situations in the home, but Indian laws are so draconian and unthinking that they have probably worsened the position of women in recent years. The Anti-Dowry Act (Article 498a) and the recently enacted Domestic Violence Act have done great disservice to gender harmony.'

Good point; besides, Indira Ghandi broke the glass ceiling
Mohatma Ghandi's daughther took the throne (and was subsequently asassinated), light-years before anyone ever heard of those feminist hags Nancy Pelosi and Hiltery Clinton. I suspect India had little if any feminist bullshit going on at that time; they have it now due to the influence of Western feminist pigs, and the U.N.

Speaking of Mahatma, I heard that in India, people used to put curses on each other by saying, "There is a bus leaving at 5:00 - be under it."
