Matters that matter to the average Indian
Are we ignoring the 'Shadow Pandemic' of domestic violence in India?
So a recent survey on gender roles suggest that nine out of ten Indian agree that a wife must always obey her husband. And almost 52% of women and 42% of men think it is acceptable for a man to hit his wife under certain extreme circumstances. So I think to a great extent, a lack of support systems, both institutional and otherwise, others deter women from standing up and getting out of abusive relationships in India
You are supposed to work on weekends irrespective of your plans. And as far as women employees are concerned, it gets even more worse. You have leeches who are so called bosses and surprisingly, some of them come from those item backgrounds also. And I've seen them quite a few. So perhaps, darling, what is shown in domestic household is an exact replica of what's happening in Indian corporate offices. For example, how much of you will follow LinkedIn? I'm not too sure
As you said, they sleep for less than an average of 6 hours every night and many of them are constantly anxious about their performance or rather how it is perceived by their manager. They feel they cannot talk to their superiors or their HR about the agreements. They can't recall the last time they had a vacation with their family. Yeah, you are so right. The culture of abuse that exists in certain organizations I mean, I wouldn't want to generalize here
So essentially what he's now saying is that he meant that people in the 20s have lesser liabilities, so they are not married and blah blah and all that, and they should be able to put in more hours and get into Secured and all that jingbind. So you can listen to I'm sorry. And I couldn't find how to post a link here, so maybe you can teach me. Thank you. Bye

Hello partha Ramya. I have been following this discussion and just want to add on yes partha I things. This particular post by Shantanu of Bombay Shaving Company has been trending on LinkedIn for the wrong reasons and I think has eroded the brand value that they might have built over the last few years considerably. And you've given this a very thoughtful context where I agree that pressure that is unfair, that is not justified in any way, bringing about a culture of subordination where it isn't required
I was literally having a so called flight high career where I was taking four flights a day, four flights a week and blah blah and all that, but then I was not enjoying at all. Then 2020, while a pause came and it made us think what the h*** am I doing? And I was visibly scared and doing whatnot the more reason is because my only source of income was my salary. And I was so scared. What happens to my life 2021 onwards?

So the one which we have seen is the most common stereotype of abuse which people normally see. There's an abuse of husband abusing his wife. Later on the victim becomes the abuser which is a known cycle in any kind of abuse. If any person or any persona undergoes abuse cycle for a long time that victim ends up being an abuser themselves. Abuse I don't think so. Is strictly related to women or male identity abuse. It's in general available

However, along with that also comes the bad side of it. Is there more crime? Yes. Is there more heinousness to the crime? Perhaps yes. Has the volume and frequency of crime increased? That is also yes. And that is the paradox of our society, that there isn't an absolute truth. There is a truth which suits all these buckets. To me, domestic abuse is just a manifestation in adulthood. The original culprit is the childhood

How can you be such cruel to anyone? The one you love, the one who's actually your spouse. How can you be this kind of cruel to them? So it feels pretty disheartening. What we can do at our end is that if we saw something happening like this, then we should actually help that person out there. We shouldn't let them go alone or let them fight alone in this. So this is what we can do. And I really think that we can teach our men

Her two sons come occasionally, and her mother and her father. This is the overall group of people that live next door. And Auntie would like scream. These are screams of agony and frustration, right? Like, she would scream and every time that happened, because I know we are taught not to interfere. We are taught to interfere with everything except this one thing, right? Which is why I'm like it's so systemic

And then the first sign you found, you turned back and you are like smack. How does that happen? Let's remove patriarchy and everything from the discussion completely because I'm of the opinion that a lot of these things are a****** issues rather than men women issues, right?
