Before I began my session with students I asked them about the challenges they are facing today. The girls were very forthcoming with information and listed these issues:
- Discrimination
- Lack of oportunities
- Communalism
- Poverty
- Polution
- Population
- Corruption
- Lack of civic Sense
- Reservation
- Violence
- Second class citizen status
- Terrorism
- Lack of infrastructure
- Unemployment
- Illiteracy
- Inequality between men and women
- Caste Barriers
If someone had asked us this question during my college days I am pretty sure we would have spelled out the same issues. That means two decades have passed but the issues have not. Two generations, two completely different world....yet same old issues.
Certainly India can do better then that.....
