    Poornima,

    Nice one! A couple of things I wanted to point out. Cubbon Park was laid out in 1864 not 1870. The bandstand was not built in the 1920s but existed even in 1870. And though Attara Kacheri became the office of Mysore administration in 1868, the Mysore administration moved to Bangalore long before this – their offices were earlier housed in Tipu’s Palace near the Fort and in assorted houses in that area.

The delusional bubble of our so-called ‘progressive society’ is broken every year on International Women’s Day. Irrespective of how far we have developed, we still struggle to comprehend and respect simple concepts of freedom and equality, especially concerning women.  A woman's identity is not tied to a man The identity of a woman is somehow still rigidly bound by her association with a man, be it her father or her husband. A single woman is often judged. It is not just society that ties a woman to a man’s name, but also the government with some regressive policies. The recent…
