Re: Kavita Krishnan's 'PM stalking daughters'

She is a third class activities working at behest of people who don't want India to prosper and progress.
Every person - girl or boy - is an Indian. If you disrespect, it amounts to disrespecting India. We should have stopped where it started. The other day it is shown 'do not return to India', someone (Indian) supports a product, which the Laboratory has found fault with it. Like this many unpleasant things are appearing. All this is because it is Democracy. Why Rediff is not stopping such unparliamentary language. Jai Bharat.
That's why this selfie drive may work wonders. It is a question of changing the mind set. Women are being discriminated against the world over. Improvement comes with economic development. Survival of the fittest has meant muscle power in which men are stronger. But science and technology are replacing muscle power with machines and robots. In IT or other services women have an edge - nimble fingers for one. Hence in information age there should not be any place for gender inequality/injustice/discrimination. Tokenisms like the CM of MP proudly declaring himself as the mama (maternal uncle) of all girls in that state, this selfie thing and beti bachao beti padhao slogan are important for changing the biased mindset. Women Empowerment bill was passed by RS three years ago but could not be introduced in the LS due to opposition from strong Yadav leaders and others. This governments should ensure that it is passed at the earliest not only in LS but also all the state assemblies. Similarly Hindu Succession Act 1956 was amended in 2005 to enable female heirs and successors to demand and sue for partition for their equal share in intestate parental property. This is not being allowed to work as the male H&Ss dupe loving and gullible sisters to relinquish their share simply through a family settlement. The government should also further amend HSA to make such relinquishment by a female H&S void except through a registered relinquishment deed for full monetary consider

Oh, so many words and so much labour !!
What about the basic and simple step of increasing budgetary allocation for girls education and basic education in general ??
Why should any political party (the Congress or the BJP or any other party that has ruled the wretched north Indian states) pretend that increasing budgetary allocations and spending the allocations to improve the facilities for basic education are so difficult (if not to serve vested interests such as the khap panchayats that they want to humour up and appease) ???
Change mind sets ???
Whose ??
The mind sets of the people who are denied basic facilities for education or the mind sets of the ruling classes (and of their stuxpid middle class supporters) who do not want to increase facilities for the education of the vast majority of the commoners and want to keep them in ignorance so that they can continue to exploit them ???

Kerala is surviving on Gulf countries money, it has no Industrial hub to support its people nor has any other way of earning revenue. Most of the people of this state are cursed to move out as jobs are not available to its youths in their own state . Thanks to political parties of Kerala for this poor state.

1. Kerala also has rich rubber, tea, cardamom, pepper, cloves.....farms that employ lakhs of people (at wages that are 3 to 8 times wages given for unskilled labour in other states)
2. Kerala also has a vibrant tourism industry that is in a steep growth phase now
3. No industrial hub ?? Check on google what Udyogamandal, Perumbavoor and Kanjikkode are.
And interestingly, just check how many men from other states are employed in these hubs. You will be mighty surprised !
4. MOST of the people are cursed to move out of Kerala ??
Just where did you get this gem from ? Hallucination ? Ever heard of the Census survey of India ? Please check its website and find out how many Keralites are resident in Kerala and how many are NRKs !
5. No jobs for youths ???
Well, Kerala's youth has always been ambitious - much more so than the youth in almost every other Indian state. As a result, they are not content with earning just Rs. 800/- per day for even unskilled work ! So, they move to places like the Persian gulf to earn even more and save more.
And when so many youth leave Kerala to be gainfully employed elsewhere and repatriate all that they earn to Kerala, just who does the work back home in Kerala that they left ??
Any idea ??
Well, you will be mighty surprised to find that the number of semi-starved, grindingly poor and desperate job seekers from Orissa, from Chattisgarh, from Jharkhand, from M.P, from T.N, from A.P, from U.P, from Bengal (actually Bangladeshi refugees

and surprise, surprise, even Maharashtra and Gujarat who come in ever increasing numbers to Kerala to gladly work for half the wages paid to Malayali workers in places like the above named Perumbavoor and Udyogamandal crossed 25 lakhs (about 8 % of the Kerala population) in January, 2014 (ministry of labour, govt. of Kerala)!
Why do these men from even *developed* states such as Mah, Gujarat and T.N stream in to Kerala to be employed as manual labour - so very far away from home ?
Well, the only reason is that at between Rs. 350 to Rs. 500 per day, the wages they get in Kerala are much less than the wages that have to be paid for the same work to Malayali workers but STILL several times the wages they would be earning back home in the hxell holes of labour exploitation that their home states are!
This fact is too well documented in several labour studies conducted by the Union as well as the state ministries of labour and is also validated by several ILO sponsored surveys.
So, what price the so called *development* that other states are alleged to have?

Oh, Mr. Thakur.
Take a good look around you and be true to yourself.
North India or South India, East India or West India, high caste or low caste, hyndu or muxlim or chrittin, rich or poor or middle class, the great majority of the women (and men) are plain looking, aren't they ??
Can you really pretend that the country has many beautiful people (going by your judgement that this lady is not good looking) ??
PM Narender Modi has started BETI BACHAO BETI PADHAO schemè and has allotted 100 çroÅe to take good care of 34 crore girls below 25 years.Kavita will nevèr understand the magic of Mr Modi. In less than three rupees per year only Mr Modi can change the fortune of giirls. So baseless accusation against Mr Modi must be condemned.
perhaps nudge the Haryana CM to increase the states allocation for public education from the measly .8 % of the state GDP that it is now. After all, the primary reasons that lead to discrimination against the girl child are the ignorance and lack of literacy of the parents and the general society. The literacy rate in Haryana is still a lowly 63% (with that of women far lower at 48%) while that of Kerala is 97% (with women too enjoying the same level of literacy). Kerala spends nearly 4.5% of its GDP on public education. And it is not that the Kerala GDP is much lower than that of Haryana (in absolute as well as per capita values). All this reflects neatly in the svex ratios in the two states. While there are just 800 thereabouts of women for every 1000 men in Haryana, the corresponding figure is 1064 women in Kerala (which validates the WHOs finding that girl children are biologically more equipped than male children to survive childhood).
A serious look at these core issues and the political will to address them, even if it means ruffling the feathers of the entrenched patriarchal vested interests such as the khap panchayats, would help the girl child in North Indian states much more than taking selfies or allocating measly Beti padhao budgets would. Without such measures and the will to take such measures, Modis Mann ki baat will only remain what it has been right from the start - a means to fool the gullible commoners into thinking that he and his govt mean business!
