00:00 Very few people realize that milk and beef are synonymous, very few people realize that.

00:10 We do not bother to inquire what happens to all the cattle after they stop yielding milk.

00:18 As young educated inquisitive minds, should we be that complacent, that ignorant, that

00:26 oblivious?

00:27 Isn't there a direct relation between our dairy consumption and our beef production

00:33 and subsequent export?

00:35 But we don't mind.

00:37 Next.

00:38 Yeah, killing them.

00:41 So we are not just killing the cows, the buffaloes, the fish, the entire wildlife.

00:46 Look at who else is being killed.

00:48 189, that's rock bottom.

00:52 I wonder if there is any country below us.

00:55 920 is the ratio.

00:57 Where are those missing 80 girls?

01:01 And if you are a killer, why would you spare your own daughter or wife?

01:07 That's the worst kind of genocide going on in India.

01:11 But we don't bother.

01:12 We behave as if we are an educated, enlightened, empowered country, especially when it comes

01:20 to empowering the other gender as well.

01:24 Who think of killing?

01:26 Killing happens everywhere because the killer is the same.

01:29 The fellow who can kill an innocent animal just for his pleasure and profit, why would

01:37 he spare an innocent girl?

01:41 She would be killed because he knows there is a cost to bear and then there is a dowry

01:46 to gift and all such things.

01:50 Female labor participation rate 25%.

01:52 Worse still, it is falling.

01:56 Education levels among women are increasing, their labor participation rate is falling.

02:00 Over the last 20 years it has actually fallen.

02:03 More women were at workplaces than they are today.

02:08 Two decades back, the proportion of women working was more than what it is today.

02:15 Women are withdrawing from workplaces.

02:18 73% of them even if they continue to work, they leave their jobs after work and that's

02:24 not really an informed and voluntary choice.

02:28 It is to do with the social conditions and the cultural conditioning a lot.

02:36 We talk of farmer suicides and that's a very tragic thing, right?

02:40 The newspapers are all full of farmer suicides and that is something we must address obviously.

02:45 But what about the housewives?

02:48 Does anybody bother to inquire what our cultural institutions are doing to the woman to the

02:55 point that she is compelled to die by suicide?

03:01 And we are missing that as young students when you talk to each other.

03:04 I am asking you, do you take up these issues?

03:07 Do these form a part of your daily conversations?

03:10 [Music]
