The Indian Society

I am sure this blog is going to create a lots of chaos as I am going to write some content which may not please many of us .
I have chosen to write about women and the Injustice she faces through out her life .

We ,Indians are  really very proud of our Indian culture , tradition and its heritage .We treat them as our most powerful assets  . We assume that women especially in India  are treated with high respect and regards  but every one knows that's not the reality.

Women  have been striving for her basic rights from the time she is in her mother's womb. She fights to land herself on this earth and her fight continues until she reaches the death yard.

The great Indian society which claims to have given the respect and regards for women doesn't even give her the rights to lead her life on her own terms.
There are so many rules and conditions created to suppress her in the name of customs and traditions. Right from the time she is born ,she is forced to  follow these and denial of the same results in naming her "Modern or too forward" .

A girl child till date is considered to  be a burden and killed by few of the Indian parents.If by any chance, she gets lucky and survives,she is killed by the society with their predefined customs and traditions.

India has always been a male dominated society  and I am sure its going to remain the same, as until today ,a woman who raises her voice and fights for her right is always considered as a threat by majority of the people here.

A country can never develop if the women in the country is not respected and we have always seen instances of injustices happening towards women. As history speaks ,its women who have gone through tough practices like sati and dowry system which is still practiced in many states. The basic rights of education ,the basic rights to live is snatched away from many women.

If a women is fashionable, the society terms her forward.
If a women is assertive and demands for her rights, the society terms her dominant and aggressive.
If a women drinks and leads her life on her terms, the society calls her a whore.

Living life on their own terms is every individual's right . I completely disagree to the fact that women needs to lead their life the way, society wants her to live .Its up to a women  if she wants to showcase her marital signs or not .Its her personal choice .Its her way of living . What I feel  is ,every women should be against compulsion -The word "Should do".
No body can force someone to do something .

 Freedom is everybody's birth right .I don't think this right should be snatched away from  any women and label us "she was too modern, she deserved to be raped" ,if she forcefully demanded her right.
Enjoying life without hurting others is not wrong . The mentality of people in India needs to change . The thought process of every individual of every age (this includes women too) needs to change .As every generation has passed by ,the way, women are treated has improved but yet ,there are few male chauvinists who think their strength increases by suppressing women physically and emotionally .

India needs more feminists and this will definitely happen if all the women teach their kids to treat other women with respect .Teach , how to honor and protect them. Its all in the upbringing .I don't think there should be any bifurcation between a girl or a boy kid .Every kid should be given the same importance and significance.

What I have also learnt from my personal experience is that women needs to understand her importance, believe and fight for her  rights in every possible way she can .
There will always be people put us down and ill treat us but what we need to believe is that we are right and are fighting for our right to live.
Self -belief is the key and is the Mantra to overcome any difficulty.
Straight trees are cut first ,Likewise Weak Mindset will be targeted first .
Women needs to be strong and believe that they are equal in the eyes of God. No one can push us to do things which we don't like. There cannot be any room for compulsion.

Be free ,Be you .
Live and let live.

  1. Very well summarized and put together...I agree with the point that unless equal opportunity is given, unless women are respected every where, unless they are seen as source of support, source of honor, source of pride, country will never grow
