Miss Vasantham - Question 5

The first workpiece of "The Girl" and I'm quite impressed by it too. Sharp tongue, caustic wit, and an attitude problem. You have come to the right place.

What is the biggest problem facing the Indian society today?

The Politically Incorrect

Jamuna: ‘The lack of love for the Tamil Langauge"

Let’s all gather around and love Tamil and smoke some ganja shall we. All our problems will vanish. We can start a revolution. The Tamil Hippies we will be. Our motto will be "Tamil is the ‘refresher to the soul". Not all Indians are Tamils by the way. [Editor's note: That's true. How dreadful my life would be without Mallu, Marati, Rajasthani, Punjabi and Hindustani chicks.]

Prasanna: ‘The teaching of Hinduism has always been interpreted wrongly’

Very wise. You are now in the running for sainthood. Which temple committee told you to say this?

Young PAP

Kasthuri: “The biggest problem facing the indian society is there are people whom are unable to speak mandarin...we should start analysing like what our Minister Mentor Mr Lee Kwan Yew emphasis that....It's time for them to divert their attention in mandarin...”

You know what is another problem Indians have? They hear snippets of information, add their own demented rational and try and sound like they are well-informed. It will also be a ‘great beneficial for all’ if you learn how to write in English properly.

Social Worker

Natasha: “The problem facing the Singapore Indians today....they are not aware of the number of help programmes run by the government..All they need to do is to approach their MP (Member of Parliament), CDC (Community Development Councils) or even the Social Workers of SINDA (Singapore Indian Development Association)”

She is SO getting paid to say all that. Or, she was fired from one of those places and wants her job back.

Holier-than-thou

Anita: ‘Our younger generation is not following the trend of our older generation. They are getting influenced by friends’

Our younger generation also includes 21 yr olds. You sound like my Civics and Moral Ed text book. And if I were to follow the trend of my older generation, I would have borne 3 children to my 50 year old husband by now.

Sonia: ‘...young generation are losing our traditions and cultures by trying to get more westernized as days go by’

I know...how sad. The shop keepers at Tekka feel the same way too.

The Gloria Steinems’
[Editor's note: Gloria Steinem is THE feminist extraodinaire. Read about here HERE.]

Jayanthi: ‘Typifying this problem would be how divorced Indian women are often faced with stigma in societal conventions that bend in favour of the Indian men’

Revathi: ‘...if a woman is very sociable with the opposite gender, they are not hesitant to label her as having a loose character. I find this appalling and feel that this should be changed and people should think at their own feet and do what is best for them’

Somewhere somehow the Biology teacher got it all wrong by placing the medulla oblangata down at the henna painted feet of this girl. C’mon people, lets think ‘at our own feet’ to eradicate this problem.
