Shampa Sadhya answered the question What does freedom mean to you?.
I believe in giving space to others and not to harm anyone. Naturally, I expect the same that my space is not taken away and no one should try to use me for their benefit and that's my freedom. I love to do my work according to my schedule without disturbing anyone's life but if I am forced to do according to other's choice just because it's tradition or seniors suggest to do so puts an unnecessary pressure on me. This curtails my freedom.

Sandhya Rani answered the question What makes a man successful?.
In simple words, Success means achievement of his/her goal. Some people fix targets as goals, while others fix fame, money, bank balance, satisfaction, home, happy life, children, prosperity of children, happiness of children etc as goals. It vary from one person to another. I value peace and family life more than anything else and I have a goal to become a successful writer someday. perhaps it may give me the best satisfaction and happiness.

Shampa Sadhya answered the question About dowry.
Dowry is an evil and it must be stopped. I believe men need to take a strong step towards abolishing this practice and girls too need to be strong. They should not give dowry to get married.

I agree with that, even Bangla Desh walks all over us when it feels like, that is what India's reputation is and when we flex our muscles , we are called bullies ...so much for being called the super power probably by some stupid Indians !!!
As far as the present Pakistan situation is concerned, one can see that there is very little news or update coming out of the governmental sources and more noise from the media which is highly confusing , because there are contradicting reports and I personally feel that Pakistan cannot change its colors so fast..
Yes Pakistan's government is not speaking but today Ex President Mushraf Parvez threat India. What is the status of Parvez at this time?

Modi of course has gone all out to make things work but how can one trust a nation that is perpetually triggering violence on Indian soil ?
It is proverb, sharafat Ali Ko Shrafat Ali Ki Shrafat Ne Mara, we are not fool we are gentry. Pakistan government have not any control of Army and ISI. What can India do except meeting and talks.

usha manohar replied to the topic God men and children .
In this particular case the child was given away willingly by the parents, last year to the Godman because he wanted o make the child his successor . They probably changed their decision due to grand parents or other family pressures.However, Chote Sarkar the Godman cannot be blamed for this since the adoption deeds were signed by the parents themselves !
There are many cases in different religions where leaders adopt children, including the Pope and the Holy Imam and even among Jews , so why point fingers at this poor God man who only wanted a successor and the parents willingly agreed to give the child away for adoption ?

Awards can be returned only once.

Also the protests were not only on killing of an individual in U.P. but these were also a reaction against pre-planned murders of authors/ rationalists in Karnataka and Maharashtra.
Exactly that was case related to illegal relations between a girl and a boy of different communities and few people planned it that way and killed accused, the case is entirely different from Maldah where the other community did it in planned manner and wiped out the entire area. There is no comparison.
