The © Muhammad Haque Daily Ethical Commentary: ‘Amanat’ [5]
The New York Times [NYT], in its Editorial comment today [Sunday 30 December 2012] ruins its case against violence against women in India by “arguing” that women should be treated better because that way India will achieve its potential as a rising economic power!
I quote the NYT Editorial bit below
Why must women be only treated justly because that way will mark some OTHER achievement for Society?
Why mustn’t women be recognised, respected, left alone as being entitled to justice in their own rights, without any strings attached to that justice being made available?
The NYT says:
“India, a rising economic power and the world’s largest democracy, can never reach its full potential if half its population lives in fear of unspeakable violence.”
