I am sure nobody would disagree with that. But what about other issues? <br /><br />Till the time an ideal situation exists and ideal goals are achieved, should issues like better governance, better laws be ignored? A social change is achieved through many ways and proper laws do play a part. And governance that permits law to be implemented sincerely, effectively and equally is also of great importance. You seem to disagree on that. There is a wide spread movement against dowry and female foeticide in our society and stringent laws do play an important part in this dynamic s of change. Is there a change as reflected by numbers in these areas? You say NO. I would like to see some evidence; I would also not be pessimist that numbers will not become better as time passes by. In both these areas laws have played a role and so have education, media and social debates, and public protests. All such things play a part in causing introspection, change of a self and self education. And this can be carried forward ,when imparted to others, as education. Of course there are other issues too, that are involved. Morals, ethics of a society, education of a self thru’ religion, economic conditions, economic parity among gender, inspiring leadership, the school and basic education, its curriculum and its implementation and there must be so many more. Depending on one’s orientation and expertise, the importance of an individual factor may vary. But there is no point in being like blind men describing an elephant. Social change and proper education is more like a goal rather than means. Other issues lead you there.

While one rape ...MAKING OF A RAPIST : Few thoughts<br /><br />While one rape gets reported (and may be punished), 16 rapes go unreported (as declared by USA Justice department) in USA. The proportion is likely to be much higher in our country. While 16 commit the crime, thousands of ‘potential’ offenders are lurking all around us. What made them this way? Why are they like that? Have WE contributed in any way to make them like that? <br /><br />There are certain issues, which even the most outgoing people choose to avoid discussing. As a result of such an attitude, the society keeps suffering the repercussions. ‘Sex education’ is one such issue. <br /><br />Parents as well as teachers hesitate to provide sex education to children; while they are being pounded with sexual messages everywhere they look; from newspapers, magazines, television and films, to public toilet walls. Their young minds are more vulnerable to these corrupt messages as they are rarely prepared with healthy and legitimate information about sex and sexuality. This interferes with their development towards mature and healthy adulthood. <br /><br />The ONLY solution is to incorporate “Age-Appropriate, Value-Based, Culture-Speciific SEX EDUCATION”. I strongly believe that sexual crimes, sexual exploitation and sexual dysfunctions can all be prevented through sex education. <br /><br />Sexuality is a powerful dimension of the personality. It implies intelligent thinking, sensitive feeling and behavioural reactions associated with maleness or femaleness of an individual. Like all the other instincts, the sexual instinct also carries with it certain responsibilities, and the only way to prepare the young generation for being responsible sexually, is through sex education. <br /><br />Sex education does not mean merely providing information on genital-centred sex; it implies transferring correct values, balanced attitudes and sound perceptions. It is important that we raise children to become adults who will use their sexuality in mature and responsible ways. It is our responsibility to keep the young generation adequately informed, so that correct scientific knowledge may lead to building healthy attitudes towards sex, high standards of conduct, responsible behaviour, and wholesome personalities.<br /><br />I AM STILL NOT TIRED OF SAYING THIS, THOUGH I HAVE SAID IT IN HUNDREDS OF MY ARTICLES, BOOKS & LECTURES. ARE WE REALLY INTERESTED IN DOING SOMETHING? OR WE ARE JUST ENJOYING THE 'NOBLE' DEBATE.<br />http://www.hearttoheartindia.net/<br /><br />rajanbhonslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541569554757794169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655662064939402867.post-77314810647116042992012-12-29T01:59:32.450-08:002012-12-29T01:59:32.450-08:00pl post this on all possible medias and sites so t...pl post this on all possible medias and sites so that many more can read and thinkdr, dilip raichurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883747100981263112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655662064939402867.post-34515173330551502672012-12-28T20:58:22.028-08:002012-12-28T20:58:22.028-08:00I whole heartedly agree with the contents of this ...I whole heartedly agree with the contents of this article.

The cap on no. of sms's per day is another glaring example. It is like punishing crores of innocent people just because some terrorists used mobiles.
