Educated daughters vs strong daughters: The difference

-
Image
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. Education gives them no financial independence, no autonomy, no freedom to decide for self or children. Then what is the role of education for them? Nothing. I pity the parents who think that educating a daughter makes them finish their duty towards her. They continue to rear her as a cow or sheep. The net result is an educated women with no respect or autonomy and no space of her own. This ca...

USA has set a vaccination rate of 70% to be achieved in order to get the pandemic under control. But this rate has not reached in the population as well as the health care workers. A significant number have refused the vaccine. Though the vaccination is voluntary, people who refuse it are losing their jobs in hospitals? Is this move justified?  Vaccination rate and health care workers   Health care workers and frontline workers who came in direct contact with patients were high risk and first to be vaccinated in the USA. But a recent survey showed that a significant number of the staffs have refused vaccination. A survey conducted by USA Today in 276 hospitals (4.5% of the country's hospitals) showed that the fully vaccinated rate was 53 to 72% in hospital networks and 51 to 91% in 15 public hospitals of the US. Rural hospitals have even lesser vaccination rates. Covid vaccine (Source: Pinterest)  The target of 70% of Joe Biden by 4 July seems to have become impossible. S...

 There is problem between the USA and China over the WHO's investigation in Wuhan regarding the origin of coronavirus pandemic. Was it a natural disaster, or an accident, or a deliberate attempt to destroy the world? America wants to interrogate the caregivers, patients, lab workers in order to know the exact cause of the viral source. But China is against this. Why? Is China trying to hide something? WHO and its special investigative team WHO-led independent experts have reached Wuhan on 14 January 2021. They want to determine the likely cause of the virus. They are now in quarantine for 2 weeks before they begin their work in Wuhan. Currently, from their quarantined spots they are in talks with their Chinese counterparts by means of teleconferencing.  The USA is totally unhappy with China's non-transparency in this matter. It has accused China of hiding the initial magnitude of the problem. They feel valuable time was lost there and led to the virus going uncontrolled and ex...

Loneliness is a growing epidemic especially during this coronavirus pandemic in the USA!

-

  The coronavirus pandemic has increased social segregation and this has proven to be bad particularly for the elderly population. They are unable to catch up with their children and grandchildren and are finding themselves extremely lonely. They are the worst affected by the pandemic in terms of physical as well as emotional health. THE OLD AGE AND LONELINESS Old age is a time of loneliness for many people. Usually, people have lost their partners at that ripe age and depend on their children and grandchildren for support and to beat the loneliness. Though their younger family members used to occasionally visit the parents, now with the coronavirus pandemic this has become difficult due to the risk of the children carrying the infection to their aged parents and grandparents. So the visits have come down drastically and the contact remains only on phone or via digital technology. This though good does not suffice and cannot substitute the physical visits and the warmth that th...
