This is what guests had to say!!!

 I happened to come across a couple of accounts of experiences in India of two foreign travellers which I thought fit to share. Sometimes to know what your country is really like, it is preferable to see it from a distance. The two articles gives a contrary picture of India and in my opinion both views are true. We feel outraged when we hear such stories portraying us in bad light as in case of the account of Michaela Cross and we take considerable delight when a rosy picture is painted as in case of Jane Von Rabenau. India might be the rising star in our and world opinion but if we are to reach anywhere close to that, we ought to remember that we also have an ugly underbelly and we cannot throw these issues out of sight merely because we don't see any direct link with the country's GDP (I am sure most of us know them by heart of all the last 10 years).

1st Account - Michaela Cross

2nd Account: Jane Von Rabenau

16 December, 2012 is considered as a landmark day when many were stirred to action but the battle is far from over. The patriarchy is our bane. The belief that the place of women lies behind four walls and in the kitchen is plain wrong. This feeling of supremacy over the opposite sex is mere narrow mindedness and sheer injustice. And no injustice goes away unchallenged. Changing our own attitudes might not be easy and to change societies might look even more daunting to even give a try. But change is inevitable. It's time we treated women as equal human being and even if we don't rest assured, they will win their rightful place in society.
