19. What are your views on premarital sex in India?

Sex before marriage is something that our society and culture disapprove of. Again,
it solely depends on the mutual consent of the partners, but in a general term, it is
not acceptable in Indian society.
20. Don’t you think the law gives more power to women over men? What could be
done to resolve it?
The law does give more power to women in terms of gender specific laws. It is time
that we start identifying crimes as crimes irrespective of gender, religion and caste.
For example, if there is a law that protects women from rape, there should also be a
law that protects men from rape.
16. Should caste system be continued to give more opportunities to poor and
economically backward people?
Caste system gives equal opportunities to under privileged section of the society. I
fell that the caste system should be there only until the graduation of a reserved
person. Thereafter, it is fair competition among everyone and everyone should be
treated as general.
15. Don’t you think India should stop giving pensions to retired soldiers and invest
that money in modernizing instead?
Sir, India is the largest voluntary army. One of the reason being – pension after
retirement. The government could also impose compulsory military service for
everyone aged 18-20, in-line with the Israeli system. But we are a huge country with
a large cultural differences. It will be practically impossible to do so in this case.
Also, if pension is withdrawn, Army might lose its numbers. Instead, focus should be
on indigenous development of weapons with transfer of technology.
8. What could be done to solve global hunger crisis as it is rising day by day?
Unfortunately, there is not enough awareness about global hunger among general
public today. The first step in this regard is to create awareness among people.
Individuals, companies and groups who waste food must be fined.
