Apart from state agencies, national agencies should address such heinous crimes which has become a cruel joke on the nation.

"It is time that there is a National agency to address the most horrific crimes against Women in this country, beyond state agencies, as what is happening right now is a cruel joke on the Nation. No citizen with a beating heart in Bharat can just watch this go by. Action Now! -Sg," he wrote on X.

While extending his wishes on Independence Day, in a different post X, Sadhguru reflected on the role of inclusivity in India instead of relying on culture of absolutism.

“When we say Bharat, it is not a culture of absolutism, of you versus me, this is a culture of inclusiveness. Inclusiveness is the need of the hour. On the level of the individual, it is only through inclusion that we can experience joy, peace and balance. It is important we create that possibility for humanity. If this has to happen, first Bharat has to become Maha-Bharat. Let us make it happen. –Sg,” he wrote on X.

 

 

The brutal death of a post-graduate trainee doctor in Kolkata in this month has triggered outrage all across the country and nationwide protests and medical strikes are conducted all over the country. The 31-year-old victim was on night duty when she was found dead with several injuries in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College.
