Hindustan Times carried a lead editorial on 6.3.2008 with the caption "Courting Denigration".
The editorial says Shiv Sena has a worthy rival in Namita Panda, Orissa state Women's Commission chairperson.
She is disturbed by the fact that incidents of rape, unwed motherhood and trafficking of girls have increased in the state.
Ms Panda's antics bring to mind similar missions undertaken by in the past by a chairperson of the National Women's Commission (NCW). So worried was this repository of Indian samskara ...
Human relationships, unless they are abusive in nature, do not fall within the jurisdiction of women's commissions. They should stick to their role as the custodians of women's rights, not of women's morals.

Do we need ethics and morals in the society? If they re needed who has to protect them and strengthen them?
Is Hindustan Times right in ridiculing Ms. Panda?
