Today while viewing the videos of the play, my friend cum editor asked, "what are the Hindi & Gujarati translations of the word "EQUITY"?
I replied, "It is an abstract term, but you can write Justice".

The video we created (link above) is based on one simple TRUTH
Every action has EQUAL & opposite reaction.
It is human instinct.
At first, the reaction in the video was laughable. What the **** is he doing? Is it a joke? It is just not real. One cannot say this to his own Father! It is not PRACTICAL!
Hindi cinema lovers may have watched Amitabh Bachhan starrer LAWARIS. Drunkard foster father losing everything on alcohol. When son realises that he is being used for money to buy him alcohol, he tries to hit him back for what he did.
Then, not one of us thought it impractical or unreal. Why?
"Are isne to amitabh ka istemal kiya. Iske sath to aisa hi hona chahiye" (That is what I thought while watching.)
Was it equity? Retributive equity? (An eye for an eye) or Reformative equity?(Improvement instead of punishment)
But then, Is this not what we do?
One may not take it out on the parent but it DOES come out on someone else in some or the other form.
Then why is this reaction wrong?
And why do fights happen?
Because we love to prove our manli/womanli + ness? NO
It is because the fight is just a reaction.
Of what we receive, we give it back.
The question remains. . .IS THIS A SOLUTION?
& of course, What is Equity?
As I am writing this, I know that I will drink milk reading newspaper headlines about rape,murder,cruelties & wish I could change the society by discussing about it!
Do not sit there & answer or You & I will be same.
