[Reader-list] Giving money to any individual student based on faith, caste, is it correct in rule of laws, in democra

[subhrodip sengupta]

Giving money based on gender will actually keep the basic logic alive, girls need to work, first priority to be given to boychild! In a place like Indian with pressing social issues such shows should be heavily critisised, if discrimination is to end. Or do we eant some elite female members to pick up arms for some feminist movement? I do not understand!
Subhrodip.

Dear Rajen,

social issues have to tackled inclusively. do you even know what
inclusiveness means? im sure you dont. i am sorry but i will state it now.
your "dont mix communalism with solutions to social problems" idea is
pseudo, when you in another post you go to say that with the growth of
religious fundamentalism, hindus must be united.

let me very clear, that with postings of this sort no solution will come out
it. identity politics is narrower, shallower and mostly stupid as doesnt
consider people as individuals but merely as groups with common traits.
certainly, it helps in administration, but it defecates on the social fabric
of our society and our aspirations as a nation.
