 When a lady says "No" she means no



Last month on LinkedIn I got a lot of hassle from gentlemen in India about how the British Empire treated Indians during the days of the Raj - a post for later - perhaps.

The discussion started as I pointed out that when people watch the tv series "Toughest Prisons on Earth" they never mention the Andaman Islands off the Indian coast. Conditions were so bad the inmates had to turn to cannibalism.

Another tough prison which is forgotten is the one off the coast of Goa. This is where Portugal turned a concrete water container into a jail.

What Indians forget is that to this day the caste system is still as hard, if not tougher, than in the days of the Raj. A case in point is the movie Pink, the base of the story is that a lady has the right to say NO, and mean it; even if the man asking is the son of a VIP.
