A mammoth task for sure - think they should all have to live as women for a year or something.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

India with its billion population will have thousands of men with these views all over India, not just Haryana. On a quick read through the views seemed mixed. However it does not mean in any way that these bad views are general, although obviously any is too many.
(any more than all single parents are so for benefits!!!)
After the recent horrendous Delhi rape the protesters in the streets for law change were men as well as women.

You can't educate them, it is inbreed in them that women are just there to serve them, their chattel and plaything :sneaky:

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

In yesterdays Guardian there was an article on Caste discrimination in the UK by higher castes against Dalits.A pressure group wanted it included in an amendment to Work Place Discrimination legislation being put together and guess what ? It was scuppered by the coalition, especially the Tories, who are seen as Hindu friendly, especially for upper castes who own homes and businesses.......so next time you point the finger at village Muslims for FGM or forced marriages and not being able to adapt to UK customs, Hindus can be just as discriminatory to their own people.....!And i suspect the article was about Gujaratis, not people from Haryana.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Totally agree with you PJ - the Hindus can be just as discriminatory to their own people.

Nuts the lot of them. Child must have water.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Yes it exists, not sure a law amendment will help, the people with such attitudes often hide it, just as racial discrimination is often far from obvious.

Just for interest why do you single out Gujaratis? Gujarat one state OH and self have never visited (although several postponed plans), also no Gujarati friends, though frequently shop in Belgrave area of Leicester. (One of the children lives in Leicester).

Why can't these women take a leaf out of Milala's book What an inspiration this young girl is and only 16 today. :thumbsup:

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Which 'women' do you mean Noni ? Not sure how your reply relates to my post.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Sorry not directly to your post - Milala Yousafzai,( o.k. before you go off on one is a Pakistani), but her courage for standing up for disadvantaged women is amazing her speech to-day for them to be educated, and only 16. I bet she has strong views on how Indian/Pakistani women should be treated by the men folk.

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Agree with you Noni she was brave beyond description.

Please though, do not equate the education and treatment of women in Pakistan and India. The two countries are totally different in their education and treatment of girls. Only about 12% girls educated in Pakistan.

(My post was actually asking why Gujaratis were mentioned particularly for being guilty of discrimination in UK, ????? Just interested)

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Sorry they are all the same to me. All these women need to be brought into this century - end of subject on Indian/:Pakistan. You have your view I have mine

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

Noni it is not a "view" they are 'facts'. You surely cannot equate 12% female literacy in Pakistan with the education of women in India.
Do Indian girls get shot for going to school??.
How do you explain Indian women engineers, surgeons, lawyers, teachers, vets, pilots, police officers, politicians etc. etc.

I find it amazing, that the moderator of an expat forum of one country thinks that the country is the 'same' as an ultra strict Muslim neighboring country, I despair:(

Re: In To-day's Newspapers
 

I find a lot of things you come out with amazing! Sometimes tunnel vision
we will have to agree to differ. I have met many Pakistani doctors etc.
You seem to have the "Indian" way of thinking of Pakistanis. The attitudes are the same in both Asian countries that is my point. :amen:
