I was once on a flight with RK Pachauri. I think I was traveling to Frankfurt. I was in business class and he was in First Class. I wonder, what is contributes to be able to afford first class. It is quite an irony, that not for profit organisations can always spend more than those for profit.
By qualification, he is an industrial engineer.  Some of them are hoaxes in the name of engineers. He cooked up data.
He has managed weird awards including one from the President of Somaliland. This is called being resourceful in India and you should be able to manage the people who matter. And the people who matter can be managed in India only in one way : late jaao.
I am enamoured by the bold girl who is taking up cudgels against a figure like Pachauri. I pity her for her plight, as Pachauri is one of the ugliest persons I have come across in life. A 74 year old left side hair right side combing man, trying to use his position to force sexual favours.
Men : work hard. Do sport. Build your personalities, build some character, be bold and above all, be men of conviction, and you will have girls falling all over you right from your teens. In India, mothers coax boys to just study, and pass exams or wrangle positions by sycophancy. Then they use these positions to exploit girls. A small percentage of girls is willing to make a compromise in return for a simplified life at work place, most others detest. Some take a stand like this girl did.
But what a pity, she seems to be fighting a lone battle. Women are not supporting her, and shamefully, men are also not supporting her. A man not standing up for a woman's honour is like being a tacit accomplice in the molestation of your daughter, wife or mother. 
It is always an ecosystem that is to blame, but it saddens me nonetheless.
