More than capable of holding her own ground, Sudha Murthy is not just another trophy wife of a famous man.
Sudha Murthy has often proved that she is not a mere shadow of her famous husband. While many marriages take place for the sake of huge bank balances, Sudha Murthy, is one of those few women, who not only chose a man who said he could not provide her with riches, but also when he did, she used it for the betterment of the society.
An academically brilliant student, she was staunchly against gender discrimination. Having written a letter to Tata Motors about a discriminatory job posting mentioning lady candidates to not apply, Sudha Murthy actually bagged the same job.
She is a simpleton at heart and believes in using her wealth for helping the less fortunate. An author and a visionary, Sudha Murthy is an intellectual who is a class apart with a warm heart and a down-to-earth attitude.
Why we find her inspiring:
– For being courageous enough to speak openly about gender discrimination
– For her level headedness and zeal to help others

Chetan Bhagat had no business slut shaming Uorfi Javed or any other woman. If he wants to 'guide' young men in the 'right direction' then he should take accountability for his words.
Chetan Bhagat, one of India’s bestselling authors, thought it was an ingenious idea to slut-shame Uorfi Javed, an Indian actress and influencer, at the Sahitya Aaj Tak literature festival.
“Phone has been a great distraction for the youth, especially the boys, spending hours just watching Instagram Reels. Everyone knows who Uorfi Javed is. What will you do with her photos? Is it coming in your exams or you will go for a job interview and tell the interviewer that you know all her outfits? On one side, there is a youth who is protecting our nation at Kargil and on another side, we have another youth who is seeing Uorfi Javed’s photos hiding in their blankets.”
Uorfi Javed responded with a video on her Instagram stories calling out Bhagat’s bluff. She shared the screenshots of his previous chat conversations with Ira Trivedi, author and yoga instructor, which came to light during the #MeToo movement.
While boys are taught to naturally own the space they enter, girls are taught to give up, to accommodate, to adjust since "it is their primary responsibility to keep families and relations together."
Yesterday, I was watching these 4 young girls around 16 – 17 years old play badminton. They were having fun, goofing around with all 4 of them equally involved in the game.
In some time two of their male friends joined them, and as part of round robin, the 2 boys replaced two of the girls. All good.
As the play continued, I started noticing a change in the way the game was being played. The shuttle was played most of the times between the two boys and there was a sense of competition and aggression brought in. The other 2 girls playing soon starting losing interest in the game as they hardly got any game time. Even if the shuttle came towards them, the boy in their team would move and play that shot. They soon moved to the sidelines as the boys continued to play.
