On this occasion of the birthday of a powerful and empowered woman - Madonna , I would like throw light on prevalent topic affecting the society influenced by a certain group of people.

I am sure there is no need to, but for the sake of doing it, feminism is defined as advocating of women's right on the principle of equality of gender.

For instance, there is a lot of big talk about the absence of spokesperson and technical heads in the IT department specially in India. However, we have somehow ignored the fact that the girl to boy ratio in IIT'S is less that 0.2. Furthermore, according to a survey, lack of self confidence among coaching girls despite having mathematical skills was highlighted as the sole reason for this.

Do you still think that male chauvinism and unequal pay in the IT department are the only reasons we don't see great tech female leaders? well, I think It's time we understand what feminism really means. Dear women, fight for your equality. you'll win, you'll have to.

These collections stabilized the fluctuating GST collections in the indirect tax kitty. But now, when the international petrol and diesel prices are surging and the Indian currency is depreciating, these revenues are becoming a bone of contention. Given the circumstances, should the government hold these taxes? And is the...
