Some brilliant quotes from this :
>> Faith, he wrote, must be based upon direct experience, not religious platitudes.
>>More presciently, he warned that India would remain a vanquished, impoverished land until it "elevated" the status of women.
So apt with current state of affairs in india!In fact (am from india) , every time any female from family (female) has to go out , a male always accompanies them!Sadly even kids are not spared from this!Hope the everyone learns to respect them in india rather than look at them as on object or thing!
