22 October 2024 by Shalini Priyadarshiny

Hate is contagious. If we do not take action in time, the storm of hatred will sweep away everything, leaving us with regrets.

Hate can spread easily, and it’s important to recognize that we don’t truly need it, even though it seems all around us. Let’s cultivate understanding and compassion instead.

However, the real question is how can we afford the estimated expenditure of Rs 8000 crore (subject to factors like inflation) in the next five years, i.e. till 2029?

Sexual harassment is one of the worst crimes that human beings are committing to destroy the social balance. Whatever we write or say against this will always be dwarfed by the pain and suffering of the victims and their families.

I recently read about the unfortunate gang rape of a female employee at the famous Ram temple in Ayodhya. As a sensitive person, I couldn’t stop my tears from welling up with grief.
