  • On the path we have chosen, we ourselves are stuck walking and we are only giving advice to others. Such things can be experienced while interacting and working with those personalities.

When traveling in public bus day by day, the bus is changing and the people traveling are also changing. Most of the passenger buses running in the metropolis have reservation facilities. After using regular public transport, the rules inside the bus have started to be absorbed in the mind these days.

For example: if all the seats are empty, use the women's reservation seat, otherwise go to another common seat, if the last seat is full and reserved for senior citizens and disabled people, even if it is empty, don't go and sit in it. If any young men are seen sitting in the reserved seats, they will be reminded that these seats are reserved. This set in my mind. In a way, I agreed to the rules issued by the state and started following the rules. It became a training for me.

Training is a policy that is used in practice by learning from the positive operation of life. We once used to study in schools the virtues taught from family level through Hindu culture and Sanskrit language as moral education. However, there is no separate moral education these days considering that it can be seen as temporal and gender unequal. Some scholars say that the current education system has led students to a bad path, even if it is not a moral education. Nepal has signed many treaties including international human rights as a party state. One of which is the SID convention to end all forms of violence against women. The treaty also calls for reducing the stereotypical representation of women through education and public information programs. But if the treaty had come as training or practice, it would certainly have helped to remove harmful practices or superstitions.

Rape incidents are happening day by day in the society. It is said that people are ready to speak out against the violence against them because of the media. But our brains still sympathize with the rapist and make the victim look like she is loose, undisciplined, why did she go out with a boy, crazy. Just as I looked at the reservation rules while boarding the bus, similarly if the laws and definitions of rape were followed wholeheartedly, surely adults would not have committed sexual acts against minors and unwillingness. Why is our training strong in not being ready to consider such crimes as crimes and instead blaming women and teenagers? Sensitive acts such as sexual intercourse and power Many men, from youths, have no training and practice that forced relationships under the guise of

are harmful. Girls, teenagers and women can be coerced by powerful parties and should be qualified with awareness and training that they should be rejected and resisted. But is it practical?

India and Nepal have a Hindu majority society. Hindu culture divides work into castes, women and men, and according to that, our family and society are trained and skilled, but that training is one-sided and hates women and children. However, a section of the society is not ready to consider incidents like rape as a crime, and in this section, women also come down and shout slogans in favor of the perpetrator. This is also said by the crowd of those who stormed the embassy saying that 'America did not give a visa' to a person involved in a serious crime. The commentary on the supposed upper and lower castes is alive and well in the

society. Even when it comes to normal routine, women, especially married women, should wear minimal make-up. One has to perform concubinage. When a questioning woman is born, society goes into resistance. The questioning woman is forced to remain in the status quo. Even women who have come forward in education, profession, and politics, during menstruation, when they approach the temple, the kitchen of the house, or when men approach. But the new training we have taken has not replaced the old. By changing the fasting of Teej, we have introduced the tradition of celebrating Teej for one month for the sake of freedom. Our ancient trained brain has not been able to assimilate the social change.

Until now, within the Brahmins of the Hindu community, chief priests, pundits, etc. go to Jajman for religious rites and are separated by what to eat and what not to eat. If Jazman is a so-called low caste, then there is a tendency for him to eat milk and kheer, for Dalits he does not go to perform all the rituals, even if someone does Karkap, there is a tendency to stay at a distance. These days a Pandit is going viral on social media. His emphasis is that religion or religious scriptures do not differentiate caste. It can be seen that many progressive personalities are also publishing his videos, considering his recognition as positive.

but those same pundits have kept the same archaic views on the relationship between husband and wife. Regarding the video content of singer Elina Chauhan touching her husband's feet, he has made public his opinion - where can a wife touch her husband's feet without touching them? From this it can be known that we feel that we should change now, but the thought that men should be on top according to the tradition that has been going on since time immemorial has not been removed. We have not received the training that respect should be among all human beings and we have only received information but have not put it into practice.

is the social training within us to not affect the behavior or to go in a negative way by our structures, in some cases religious values, even guided by tradition. But we have not accepted that reality and justice, science and consciousness can advance our society. We cannot be perfect socially. But we can adopt the rules of the most humane, equal and loving world. However, in some cases we are social activists or human rights activists, or even leaders. On the path we have chosen, we ourselves are stuck walking and we are only giving advice to others. Such things can be experienced while working with those personalities.

The famous scientist Einstein expressed that people use certain ideas and values ​​as legitimate. For example: intuition or religious belief. which cannot be proved by direct observation or reasoning. If we believe in his words, if some values ​​are positive, then it is possible to make them as ideals, but how can society progress by considering things that are incompatible with nature as rules? To move our society and civilization forward, we need practical education and training of common human values, respect. By which training we and our descendants can become conscious.
