In which I agree with, 'Indian Official'

It seems somebody does not want India to go down the path the western world has already travelled. Some people can look at failiure and choose to learn from it

Indian official mocks schoolgirl for requesting sanitary pads

At an event organised with Unicef, a teenage girl asked Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Harjot Kaur Bamhrah, why can't the government provide menstruating people with sanitary napkins worth Rs 20-30 (£0.23-£0.34).

Just for the record, the girl did not ask for pads for 'mensturating people'. The reporter must have added that just to prove how far down the rabbit hole the western world has actually gone (Benefit of the doubt)

It was the response to the request for free stuff that had me bobbing my head in agrement

Ms Kaur Bamhrah, who is an official in the women and child welfare ministry, responded by saying that there is no end to demands and soon people will expect clothes and contraception from the government as well.

“Tomorrow you'll say the government can give jeans too. And why not some beautiful shoes after that," she said.

The visibly annoyed official continued: "Eventually, you will expect the government to give you family planning methods, and condoms, too.”

"Why is there a need to take everything for free. This way of thinking needs to change. Do it yourself?”

I love it. I wish somebody had said, 'Do it yourself' to the British people a couple of  decades ago. Maybe the country would not have gone down the shitter
