Very well said.

Also It would be awesome if someone added subtitles in English so more people can fully understand. (I confess I missed a few words)

Very articulately put.

Focus should also be put on how patriarchally flawed the whole idea of the phrase 'safety of women' is.

Especially in a country like India where keeping women 'safe' boils down to yet another vicious patriarchal cycle of 'protection' and 'moral safeguarding' instead of focusing on making her more confident and self-reliant so even if such a thing occurs she confidently walks out of it with fighting spirit & is not morally obligated to society to be a 'zinda laash'.

Sir, i didn't said there was no caste system, it was there but society covered it into exploit the weaker section in Money or power. yes, Gandhi Ambedkar fought for this, then why it is not abolished in 65 years???, this is called politics. Why we need to mention our surname in all govt documents, we should work sincerely and get rid of this.I studied in Mangalore till HSC,it was not compulsory to mention surname,my certificate doesn't have surnames but now it is compulsory.

That was one hell of a speech

[percikingdawn]

So you are saying there was no caste system a 100 years ago, I wonder what Ambedkar and Gandhi fought for?

[Juju Mao]

excellent. reality !!! very convincing.

[Somnath Poojary]

You may note that there are NGOS run by women in India to protect physically challenged girls are miss using and pushing these girls flesh business or rape. So, please bear in mind that both men and women responsible for this discrimination of woman or crime against women, whole society should fight for the same.

[Somnath Poojary]

Today the way women leaders abuse police and men, it is going to create more social disorders, like caste system.Caste system is by politicians not by our Indian culture.In our tradition we can society system as Varna system, caste is not right meaning for Varna.Varna is job allocation as per his capacity.same way modern society recruit for work.Jati system is different where fathers Jati comes to Son,politicians dominated made this social system.Same way Congress want to make idiot rahul as PM.

[Somnath Poojary]

Madam Kavita, Good to see you in NDTV now a days and really great job you are doing. But sometimes you are more adamant, this is not good always. Yes, there is a huge discrimination against women in India and all over the world. If you say westerners are more advanced i say no, becoz USA and may other western countries never had woman President or Primeminister. our country even in ancient time there were woman rulers. TO make better society it is not only work of men or women both together.

M'am Kavita Krishnan,

you and Dr Sunita Krishnan ( gang raped about 20 yrs ago and now a practicing doctor

that appeared on Arnab G's show and started out saying his whole circus sickened her ) are, I think, the only people that I've come across in the recent past that speak sense.

M'am, I salute you for what you are and all that you represent.

Tho' much older than you, I wish I had the opportunity to learn from you.

You *truly are* the Bharatiya Nari. There's divinity in you. Sundar,BN
