In reply to the discussion: Indian official: Diplomat's arrest in NYC barbaric [View all]smitra
(290 posts)I am not aware of the depth of your knowledge of Indian culture - food and music are only superficial issues. And again, I will repeat what I said in my previous post - do not make blanket statements like "horrible in how females are viewed and treated". Yes, Indian women face massive problems. But recall that India was the second country in the world to have a female head of government (in 1966, following Sri Lanka in 1960); India has had a woman President; Indian women have been judges in the Supreme Court; the speaker of the Lower House of Parliament is currently a woman, as is the CEO of a major bank... and so on.
The condition of Indian women, and their lot in general, is a complex issue, like many issues that face the peoples of the world. Blanket statements like yours are unhelpful, and just plain wrong.
End of discussion, thank you.
