Re: Regarding Domestic Violence

Dear Forum,

Re: /message/11722

Unforunately pre-independance men had fought for women. Not the women

themselves.

Starting with Abolition of Sati by Raja Ram Mohan Roy, in transition from Mughal

Rule to British East India Company takeover.

Then Sarat Chandra Sen and other men depicted women as a force, and widow

remarriage where young women became widows when they were married off to old men

for security, and then calamity struck when husbands died.

Perhaps half a century after Indian independance, women will take up the cause.

Perhaps look to Professor Nabaneeta Dev Sen and other women including

Jawaharlal's sisters, Vijayalaksmi Pandit and Krishna Hutteesingh.

I unfortunately am a man.

Thank you,

Sincerely,

Priyadarshi Datta
