The societal spectrum in this country spreads wide across so many levels of extremely diverse economic, religious, and other strata, complicating stuff with their various traditional outlooks. Laws exist. Education happens. But parents must instill certain values , which sometimes doesnt happen due to social customs. All problems of a society which is developing too fast in a globalized world.Ugich Konitarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901335427613806798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-37487272721824750202012-05-31T10:11:55.352+05:302012-05-31T10:11:55.352+05:30Ila Johari, Mumbai seems to have a huge number of ...Ila Johari, Mumbai seems to have a huge number of such ladies, with gutless husbands living off them.
