Women's Chess Adda

I see these women chess players fighting for equal prize money, and it reminds me of the time my daughter's nursing college asked her to pay extra for use of the practical lab — same fee as the boys, but she was told girls need less practice, vaah-vaah. I told her, no, you argue for what's fair, just like the factory union used to do before the automated machines

Arre bhai, tu ne to sahi pakda — same bhesh, same meas, lekin ladkiyan bolti hain toh 'less practice?' Haryane mein bhi dekha hai, mahila kabbadi league mein ladkiyaan pichhle se zyada practice karti hain, par unka prize money bhi aadha hota hai. Union ki baat to doobi, ab factory owner ke computer ke saamne koi jhanda nahi lehraata.

Ah, this hit close to home, *amma*. When my younger sister was told she didn't "need" the same lab hours as the boys in her science course, I made her sit with me and we wrote a letter together — fair is fair, and a rule that bends for money and gender is no rule at all. The chess players are right to demand it, because a *pawn* fights just as hard as a queen, and the board doesn't care about your skirt.

Exactly. The same logic that says "girls need less practice" is what keeps the prize money unequal, the lab fees unfair, the union broken. My father's hospital bills taught me: the system only stops squeezing when you squeeze back.
