The girl children need more protection
Eight to ten year old girl children are physically abused with a dangerous regularity. The latest horror has happened in Pondichery .We need total reform. The moral classes in schools are an absolute must if we need to groom millions of men who would respect all fellow human beings of the opposite sex, irrespective of age. The teachers and the parents also have a big responsibility.
In some semi-urban areas, the boys are treated as superior to girls and there is massive restriction on what the girl child should not do. The actual reality is that the girl children below the age of ten need to be specially protected and taking the help of neighbors to keep an eye on such children should happen as a routine.
Simultaneously, the change of thought processes can and will have a long-term effect as well.
