'Every parents must teach their sons to respect women'....exactly...

[@preetideshpande4629]

Indian parents look at their sons as retirement plans. A money-making machine. Make him an engineer, doctor, or businessman. Then get him married to a "susheel, sanskari, sundar kanya" and then lord over both son and daughter-in-law. Traditional Indian parents are the font of poison and prejudice.

[@debarshidas8072]

And they must teach their daughters to respect men.

[@souravkaranjai116]

No. I disagree with this. My opinion is, every parents must teach their sons to respect who are respectable. Not because of anyone's gender because respect does not come from gender, it comes from good works.

[@awesomeblossom6154]

I am just overwhelmed by the comments... Anyone could sense so much acceptance, respect and the will to change towards a progressive India. I could not understand then why are such voices never provided space by our mass media? Why is the voice of the youth not given space when such issues are addressed in national television? Why does this voice could only manage it's space in such comments from where it cannot reach to the masses? This made the fact very clear that India is not that much intolerant as much it is projected, it is just that such voices and progressive openions are least provided with opportunity to reach the masses and let people also hear the other side!

These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
