Welcome Everyone,
It has been 63 years that India got Free from British Raj. I would say it was not India but the males got independence from British as for women still Independence is a long way to go. Mohammad Ali Jinnah could foresee that Muslims would not get right in Hindu Country so he demanded Seperate Country. Ambedkar sought Reservation for the less privileged. Unfortunately there was no one to foresee the plight of women in this men's World.
It starts with Birth. In many parts of India still girls are killed prenatally. The right to life is brought to end by the Men in the family. Without having seen the world the poor girl dies just because few men decide that she has no right to be born. Girls are often given less attention than brothers. She is loved by all the family members until she starts asking for time for herself. Girls are forced to live a specific pattern of life designed by parents viz type of friends, food, dress etc etc. Till the age of 16 she has to inform everything to the family who in turn decides what is good and bad for her. She has to protect herself from Child abuse which can be done by close family members or from some near ones.
If she is Fortunate she gets the chance to study further else she has to get married to the boy selected by the family and than take care of husband and kids for whole life. If given a Chance to study most of the time Family decides for the course that she could take which could lead to secured job in future. Plight doesn't stop here. After completing studies she may be given a Chance to work or she has to stay home. If given a chance to work she faces serious sexual abuse which includes Verbal and Physical abuse by other members in office or building.
Having said everything if Girl gets a god job and an understanding Husband, she is still bound to do all the Work for home and office. It is actually expected that she should work like a Super women. Serving Family, Earning for Family and also devoting time for Family and friends and all other people to whom she is related.
Why are the GIRLS not free yet to decide what they should do in life? Why are we still being told what to do and what not to do? GIRLS are actually better creation of GOD than men. World wide women do more work than men, still they are ruled by men. Women do more than 60% of the work. They are paid less than 6% salary and own less than 1% of Property. Why GIRLS are so weak? Reason is GIRLS themselves. They always expected someone else to do something for them. But now the TIME has come to do something by themselves. GIRLS would have to form a Union so that they can solve their own problems, create opportunities for other girls, protect themselves, give dignity and right of life to other GIRLS. We read many stories about Unity in our childhood but tend to forget everything as we grow up and start accepting things instead of challenging things. Here is a short story for your reference which you would have read long back. http://www.indiaparenting.com/stories/panchatantra/panch010.shtml If you agree with me than join me and we will make Difference unitedly.
