The Hindu is my favourite newspaper as I find it to be more balanced than the others. While opening the newspaper this morning I was happy to notice that it has started a new Mumbai edition from today. My felicitations.
However turning to page 7, I was dismayed to see a news item with the heading "Minister walks out of meeting after woman SP (emphasis supplied) stands her ground".
It would have been far more polite to use the word 'lady SP'. One does not say 'man officer' or a 'woman officer' but a 'gentleman officer' or a 'lady officer.'
And today evening's news is that this lady officer has been transferred out.
Sad, very sad!
