India Debates: Narendra Modi’s ‘new deal’ for women?

  • 5 years ago
It was a trademark Narendra Modi address, but to me the most important message he gave us in his Independence Day speech from Red Fort was the one on sons and good parenting.

Speaking in the context of rapes and violence against women, Modi implied that while the concern for girl children was understandable, parents must focus on what their sons are upto. “Even when they are only 12, young girls are always being asked so many questions by their parents, like 'Where are you off to?', ‘Who are you meeting’. But do these parents ask their sons where they are going?"

He added: “The law will take its own course but as a society every parent has a responsibility to teach their sons the difference between right and wrong. Those who commit rape are also someone's sons. You should stop them before they take the wrong path.”
