WHO IS TO BLAME ???
                   ......... the plight of Indian Women






Here we come to reflecting.....

The very fabric of the Indian Society. The very hard core engraving that has occurred over centuries is still hard for us to erase.The concepts are such that as the girl takes birth, her marriage is the ultimate aim for her parents, however educated and whichever strata of society they belong to.
Our society, is still afraid to open the gates to liberal thoughts of equality, the Patriarchy begins from the hme, enters the education system, the workplace, the roads....everywhere the women sex is denied breathing a free air.

THE blame heads straight to women sex themselves, also says Simon De Beauvoir (a feminist writer), women who have constantly failed to challenge and recognize the real motives of the hypo critic patriarchal dwellings, even after centuries. They seemingly escape by putting the blame on the other sex and calling themselves victims.

It is really difficult to understand, who in their sane minds like to be dominated and remote controlled (It was a different situation few decades ago, but today even in educated families with earning women being tortured, is totally baffling).
Why do we not see rebellion from the Women Community?
Do they fear losing societal support or getting abandoned, so much so that, they even tolerate torture & violence?

It surprises me that, a daily wage earner lady, toils the day, handles the kids, feeds the family and still gets beaten up. But stills gets on with the next to the face the same plight. Its really a cruel and painful sight the bruised bold faces.

We drifted from the topic a bit, but the fact that restrictions and choices for a girls' life are far too determined by the other sex and they allow that to happen to them, is to be PONDERED upon...there are definitely historical and societal mindsets, which need t be changed...

Women are given all sorts of advice to dress-up, watch for timings, carry security gear or learn self-defence.....and then our main topic of contention the DOWRY that the family has to shell out, to part from their blood relation....
AREN’T ALL THESE REQUIREMENTS THEMSELVES A DEFEAT OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL AND SOCIAL EQUALITY OUR FOREFATHERS ENVISAGED....

The pressing point – IT IS WOMEN WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE, BECAUSE;
          She took it silently, putting a brave face, even when she turmoiled from inside...
          She cried from within, but never expressed louder, for fear of the world...
She saved the dignities of her near and dear ones, but engulfed the poison dying
 everyday...
She never hit back, even if got burnt in return...
She ignored the eve teasers, for avoiding the scene it will create...
She failed to teach her Sons, but never stopped preaching her daughters for hours...
She never praised a fellow woman for being brave, even if she secretly wished she could be like her...

TIME TO WAKE UP OFF THE SLUMBER- LONG DUE-----JAAGO !!!
