My reply to Dear Ambassador

Dear Ambassador

Its nice to know that you are aware of sec 498A of the Indian Penal code. Its great to see an ambassador taking avid interest in the lives of Indian citizens

While Section 498A of IPC may have been initiated approx 3 decades ago with various intentions, changing times, corruption in police forces and misuse of section 498A by unscrupulous young ladies have become a dangerous cocktail striking at the very root of Indian family system and throwing children & elders to the dogs.

I see one great strength in USA. The willingness to allow talent and ability to flow into its borders, assimilate cultures and rejuvenate itself. This is unique for such a large nation. Of late, it seem that USA also looks at India as a partner in business and other fields

I think section 498A IPC acts against both these ... for example, IPC 498A will weaken the Indian family system that has produced steady inputs to the knowledge economy USA plans to build. IPC 498A and rabid feminism will eventually weaken the Indian armed forces too.

There is much more than what could be written in a few comment lines here

I'd be eager to know your views...
