Indian government, Indian law, and pro-female organizations in that land talk about increasing education of girls and women. I get very amused at this ineffective and useless propoganda that does nothing great to help the girl child and women. This is because most women even if educated are unable to continue work, career or do entrepreneurship because their parents or in-laws or community will not allow them. So it means educate them for namesake and then make them stagnant to do caring and cooking jobs at home. In short, educate them and again throw them in the same gutter or furnace as before.

Going vegan is becoming a trend worldwide and especially amongst youngsters. There are some devoted vegans who are carrying the movement forward. Veganism is good for humans, animals, and the universe. But the movement has to move forward in the right way and also highlight the limitations of a purely vegan diet. But this is not taking place. There is no knowledge provided of what exactly should a vegan eat and add as supplements in his daily food. Besides, there is a lot of aggression and hypocrisy from these devoted advocates of the movement.
