Social Parivartan | Changes in Society

Bhoot Kaal   (Past) Those were the days when girls used to confess their mother everything to further convince their father on the same. Whereas, boys directly convey to their father for anything they desire. Not only this, even the relation between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was a prime debate at every home. As, mother of a son would ignite a terror in her own mind that her daughter-in-law migh t  snatch her son apart from her and took him far away. Vartamaan  (Present) Nowadays, boys use to take their mother as a medium to deliver every message to their father. While, girls speak out frankly to their father whatever they had dreamt of.

Instead, let’s see the logical part behind those stories and understand what might have led to the creation of this theory or belief and the stories around it. First, let’s understand what Hindus, Buddhists and other similar religions say about

You might have seen it in the popular sitcom ‘The Big Bang Theory’, how at many times Howard imitates Rajesh’s ‘Indian’ accent.   But we Indians can’t do anything about it. Here's why.   The Indian accent as we know is mostly made fun of. You might have seen it in the popular sitcom ‘The Big Bang Theory’, how at many times Howard imitates Rajesh’s ‘Indian’ accent. You can also see it in the video above or you can click on this link  https://youtu.be/Jfs1HTELWbM . Funny, isn't it! But we Indians can’t do anything about it. It’s how we were taught to speak.  If you take a close look at most of the Indian native languages like Hindi, Urdu, Tamil, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Odia etc, you will find that every one of them is spoken by pronouncing the individual letters which come with certain symbols that guides us how to pronounce a certain word. To make it easier for you, let’s take an example of probably the most popular Indi
