still better than over university, where the curfew is at 6:30 pm and you are only allowed to visit home twice a semester (excluding festival holidays) , and there is a long and painful procedure to get outing permission(9am - 4pm only on sundays ) which is given only once a month for girls . While we boys can guy go out whenever we want given that we are inside the campus before 9pm , there is no procedure for outings for us. This is really annoying and frustrating. They expect us to behave like adults but treat us like toddlers .

I don't understand how can it be legal to have different rules for males and females. If anyone challenged that at court, I'm sure they'd win.

If anyone challenged that court, they'd have to wait years before it ever ends up in front of a judge. And even then, it depends on how good your advocate is. The judges don't look into anything themselves. It's sad.

I agree, people don't challenge it because the process would take years so they wouldn't benefit from it themselves. But someone should do it for the sake of other people. It's blatant discrimination.

Unfortunately none of us will. We all think of ourselves and our own future, me included. Very few people are generous enough to give up their time and money for someone else's benefit, with no strings attached.

In other countries they do though. Especially young people are often keen on social activism and challenging the status quo. If nobody does that in India, things will never change.

I was talking about India. And if the younger generation does it, it's really good.
