women’s perspectives. It is not a man in a uniform standing next to her
armed with a gun. Women have a broader term, human security, the ability
to go to school, receive health care, work, and have access to justice. Only by
improving these areas can the threats . . . be countered."

Responsibilities For Senior Citizens:
Modern Culture Should be Restricted to a limit
Indian youth will have to take is to revive our culture. If we break with our culture, we misdirect the
forces of change and as a result of it no progress is made by the society. Radhakrishnan goes to the
extent of saying, "Inattention to our culture in our universities is to no small extent responsible for
the increasing unrest among the student". His advice to the young is that they should "enter more
fully into the experiences and ideals of the race, if they are to live more abundantly". It is our culture
that helped India to survive despite a number of destructive forces working against it.
