Ordering National anthem to be compulsorily played in tneatres( as if people will suddenly turn patriotic and the nation will forget divisions on the basis of caste, religion , region , language etc by just singing anthem;
Denying solace to rape victims or allowing rapist to go on bail so that he can maimor buy or kill the witnesses,
Not allowing a little girl, victim of rape, abortion or
Not allowing an adult to go with her lover of her own will,
