HARYANA.
If you are an Indian and you have read about this state, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?
Kurukshetra, the battlefield of Mahabharata or the most skewed sex ratio? The teachings of Gita or the cases of honor killings? The rich agriculture or the burning of brides?
Most of us know this one state in India for many things negative – a sad example of dominant patriarchy, child marriages, honor killings, ever declining sex ratio, dowry deaths and what not. But this Friday, the state of Haryana took a positive step to protect women and hear their woes with empathy.
Haryana did something that some other states (Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Karnataka) in India have already successfully implemented. The state gave its women an all women police station. Now you may think, why do we need such a police station or how will this help solve issues in Haryana. I agree may be not so directly, but indirectly, it is a positive change.

This one state, known for many negatives or should I strict ideologies has given us some of the best sports players of all times. This is a nice initiative too. Sadly, heard about it through word press – must logoff and read the news LOL.
