Chanakya Nitishastra - Chapter Four

1. Person’s lifespan, occupation, wealth, education and the death time are determined while one is in the womb.

2. Children, acquaintances, and relatives try to remain at a distance from a devotee of the Lord: yet those who follow him bring value to their families through their devotion.

3. Fishes, tortoises, and birds bring up their children or younger once by means of sight, attention and touch similarly saintly men protect their acquaintances.

4. When your body is healthy, under control and death is far, try to save your soul because when death is near than you cannot do anything.

5. Learning is like a cow of desire that give output in all the seasons. It feeds you, like a mother feeds you on the journey of your life. Therefore, learning is a secret treasure.

6. One son accompanied with good qualities is far better than a hundred of them lacking those qualities. He can be compared to the moon that can take away the darkness whereas numerous stars cannot.

7. A son who died at the time of birth is better than a foolish son with a long life. The son who died at the time of the birth gives sadness for a time being while the foolish son is like a blazing fire that burn his parents in grief for the lifetime.

8. Dwelling in a small village without adequate living facilities, serving a person born in a low family, unhealthy food, a brooding wife, a stupid son, and a widowed daughter burns the body of the person without fire.

9. A cow that neither gives milk nor conceives is worthless; similarly a son who is neither learned nor a pure devotee of the Lord is insignificant.

10. When a man is filled with the sorrows of life, three things that are children, a wife, and the company of the lord's devotees can give him relief.

11. Kings speak once, knowledgeable people do not repeat what they said once, and the daughter is given in marriage once. All these happen once.

12. One should practice ascetic practices alone, study in the company of two, and singing in the company of three. A journey should be undertaken in the company of four, agriculture in the company of five, and war should be fought by accompanying many people.

13. She is a true wife who is pure, clean, expert, truthful, & pleasing to the husband.

14. The house without a child is void, all the directions are void for the person who has no relatives, fool’s heart is also void, but for a poor person all the above is void.

15. If scriptural lessons are not being practiced than they are like a poison; a food is poison for the person who suffers from indigestion; a social gathering is a poison for a poor person; and an aged man whose wife is younger to him is poison for him.

16. That man who is without mercy and a religion should be discarded. A teacher without spiritual knowledge should be rejected. The wife with an unpleasant face should be given up, and so should relatives who are without affection.... Read More

German professor's denied the admission to Indian boy for Intership

A professor in Germany has denied the admission to the Indian boy by stating the reason that She could not allow the boy from the country where there is a lot of rape problem. She had many female students in her university, so she could not support him.

These remarks ignited an uproar in India after she refused an internship to a male Indian student, citing the reason of  "rape culture" in India. The letter went viral on social media with students condemning the act. Later, the professor apologised.

Now in my point of view, though professor did totally wrong by labelling male community as rapist and presented her myopic view. It can lead to the adverse reactions for other host nations where Indian students went for pursuing their career opportunities.

Although the professor's decision is unjustified but she reserve the right to deny any student.
Whole incident give the message for India that the rape problem must be addressed as soon as possible.
Just uproaring on the issue will not solve the problem. We have to accept the problem and try to change our mindset to change the mindset of others for India. 

In India many men are psychopath, they rape and doesn't have iota of respect or love for women.
The reason lies is in the traditional patriarchal culture. Where Mothers generally question girls why she was late but rarely ask her son that why he was late. There is need to give moral values to the their son.

The grandparents are still not happy with a granddaughter, they still need a son for carrying the name of their family forward. Here also there is a need to change the mindset that boys and girls both are equal. Girls can also bring laurels for the family and we have seen many instances, no need to mention about it...
