Independence

your anguish falls on deaf ears. people are too dumb and numb to respond such social evils; and have come to see at as one of the norms in that part of the world.

I read somewhere that the character and progress of a state is directly relevant to the treatment of women in that state.

Re: # 1

Ill treatment of women is despicable and cannot and should not be condoned. However, your point regarding `character and progress of a state is directly relevant to the treatment of women in that state` is debatable. The issue of treatment of women is a 20th century phenomenon. Their were countries and empires that were considered progressive and were indeed amongst the most powerful of their times where the women were burned alive. Women in Great Britain were not allowed to vote till the early 20th Century, whereas it was the most progressive state of its time.
