Social Inequality
- Before we move towards a just society by going vocal globally, we need to cater to first place the injustice starts: Our Homes.
- We need to have some hard conversations with our near and dear ones to understand the genesis of inequality and injustice before we try to eradicate the problem on a large scale.
- We need to ask our loved ones how their beliefs, decisions, and choices came into being while keeping the conversation flowing by showing curiosity and not losing our temper.
