I would want my daughter to be raised in the world of Rahul Gandhi and not Mr. Modi.
My concern about farmers, Priyanka Gandhi can fight her battle alone. She doesn't need my help. - #RahulGandhi

This is my considered response to Manu Joseph's column titled "Many women don't adore the idea of men: Now what?" I am writing this in the spirit of opening a conversation about the issues raised and as an Indian woman, who often throws words like "patriarchy" around.

Wife is angry about husband not doing chores. Husband continues to sit on the bum and offers wife a flower. Wife is not angry anymore. Husband continues to sit on the bum and wife brings dessert.

How brazenly do these Sanghis lie and distort the truth?
Pragya Thakur and Colonel Purohit were charge-sheeted by Maharashtra ATS in 2009, followed by a supplementary chargesheet in 2011.

Do you also scroll to the end of a paper to check where the article ends and the bibliography begins, because it makes the article sometimes *six* pages shorter?
