A positive sound

At the weekend, I heard something which was most unexpected but no less the welcome for it.  Narendra Modi may have taken a puffed-up position with Pakistan, succumbing to the hardliners in his own party and the provocations of the Pakistani Army, calling off talks with his neighbour but he said something very important regarding the rights of women in India.  He said this on Friday, 15th August on India's Independence Day, saying the country should hang its head in shame over the ongoing rape crisis and that females foetuses should not be aborted solely because of gender.  Nehru began the campaign against patriarchal ignorance from a secular viewpoint so it is all the more critical than Modi does this from his position as a Hindu nationalist to complete the establishment faction seeking to bring human rights to all sections of Indian society
