Proposing ' sociology of sanitation' as a subject in India by Damien Hew

DAMIEN: PLS IN FUTURE PLS GO TO NEWS SITES LISTED ON THE RIGHT OF THIS BLOG & ARTICLE LENGTH 600 W
A group of academics in New Delhi is proposing to make 'sociology of sanitation' a sub-discipline subject for undergraduates and post graduates so as to better understand the conflict and contrast among social groups in India. They are recommending this due to the fact that existing disciplines of sociology is not competent enough to help in solving the problems of society not only in gender equality but also poverty, hygiene ( they want to achieve total elimination of open defecation in public ) and chidren's welfare.

I feel that this proposal should be accepted by the Indian government and make it mandatory for all students to take it as a subject. In light of the recent New Delhi gang rape, i feel it is wise to put this plan into action to teach people the proper moral values and respect to the opposite gender. Besides showing gender equality, it could also enlighten them of the wrongdoings of defecating on open public in which it is a common sight  across India. Furthermore, by teaching them about poverty, they will learn to be more sympathetic and benevolent to the poor and in turn makes the society to be a much more gracious and considerate one.
