Amlan Saha --OK you have stated facts?
But What are the Answers to this PROBLEM:
TEACH all about SEX at school 14+ .And that the purpose of Sex as it stands now --to propagate Global Warming the wrong way.
TEACH all about Society& FamilyEconomy (or lack of it in copycat Babus' hands)
Analyze historically why Indians cannot take a single woman/divorcee as an equal person having the same problems, same uncertainties as you and me/Ambanis/Tata/Birla/Sonia.
TEACH how you do not become a HERO -the Delhistyle -by Raping/stalking/eaveteasing.
TEACH how to behave like rational animals and choose Governments to force these.
So Amlan Saha please write a conclusion!
Will Tehelka give you space? Or are the only for EXPOSES?
