Boddunan boring or its forum? I think the absence of variety in topics is pronounced these days. We have the same topic disguised under different titles discussed all over again! It is quite true that in earlier times there were quite a few reward- based competitions attracting greater participation and generating a lot of interest among members. The spirit of forum was also warm. I wish better days for our site!!

True Chinmoy. The main reason is lack of variety in topics. Earlier, we had topics related to Movies, Word scrambling, Health, sports to name a few. Today most of the topics are related to politics. Of course absence of Reward based competitions is also a major reason that contributed to Boredom and monotony.

Yes I am agreed it is only election stunt. He is not speaking any thing about Pakistan who is major producer of terrorist.
No I don't think it is an election stunt. He is articulating the feelings in America. Trump is not talking of nations , but communuties. When he castigates Muslims , Pakistan is included. He is worried of Pakistan Nukes. That is the reason he says the US must not leave Afghanistan to save Pak nukes falling into hands of ISI etc.

True..with rights and freedom, responsibilities too come and when educating the women about their basic rights, it is also necessary to educate them regarding their responsibilities. Most people, even men do that, why only blame women, when they look out for their rights tend to take only what is in their interests and ignore the rest sometimes even causing harm in the process. So it is a very basic and essential thing, both for men as well women/
Absolutely ! That reminds me of an incident one of my neighbors told me. She is a lawyer and one of her clients was a separated woman with 2 small children, claiming maintenance from the husband ,while he was openly living with another woman. In between the arguments, it seems the judge began lecturing the lawyers gathered in the court hall about how women in India are asking for more rights , which needs to be curbed. My neighbor knew that her client would never get any justice, so she asked the case to be heard by a different judge quoting the reasons.Thankfully the judge was transferred since there were many complaints about him and the lady got maintenance !
So, even with laws and rights in place , one has to really fight for it, our men see to it that women are denied what is due to them at every step possible !
When you talk of women rights I presume you are referring to Non Muslim women, because Islamic women are governed by Sharia and have hardly any rights. With who do Muslim women fight for their rights?
I was talking generally ...But yes Muslim women are governed by Sharia and they are fighting against it. However, I feel that they are not so badly off because second marriage and divorce has never been a taboo for them like it was and still is with Hindus.
Yes, there are good points in Sharia as widow remarriage and marrying divorce woman is accepted. In Hinduism it is taboo

Since 1947 India is mired in indecision. The congress party forgot the ancient Hindu pHilosopgy and built vOte banks. This was disastrous as Muslims still did not progress. Actually Hinduism by its very nature is all pervading and looks after minorities. Somebody was needed to redress the balance and Modi may be that man.

MG Singh replied to the topic Why Women love window shopping and men don't?.
Interesting topic, but times have changed and men also window shop. The problem is men have lesser time to spare than woman. Incidentally a working woman may not do much of window shopping.

Thanks for sharing this article. I was really not aware about the invention of stethoscope. Stethoscope is the most basic and most useful instrument for very doctor. I would not be able to imagine a doctor without a stethoscope.

This article indicates that the genetics is the reason for women loving shopping or window shopping more than men. Women take longer time to buy a simple item, while men will buy 10 different things within that much time. They don't like to waste time on shopping much, while women enjoy shopping. According to the researchers, genes has naturally made women to llove to shop while men to hate it.
