Hindi (an Indian language): Verbs have gender. Aaya, aayi.
English: Pronouns have gender. He/she.
Bengali (an Indian language): No gender in pronoun or verb.
Bengali
language has no distinction for gender in pronouns or verbs. Is this a
deficiency or is it an advanced feature inculcated by forward-thinking
intellectuals of earlier times so as not to discriminate between the
sexes?
A fact to ponder upon...
