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