Women..

There is no doubt that we are in the midst of a great revolution in the history of women. The evidence is everywhere; the voice of women is increasingly heard in Parliament, courts and in the streets. While women in the West had to fight for over a century to get some of their basic rights, like the right to vote, the Constitution of India gave women equal rights with men from the beginning. Unfortunately, women in this country are mostly unaware of their rights because of illiteracy and the oppressive tradition. Names like Kalpana Chawla: The Indian born, who fought her way up into NASA and was the first women in space, and Indira Gandhi: The Iron Woman of India was the Prime Minister of the Nation, Beauty Queens like Aishwarya Rai and Susmita Sen, and Mother Teresa are not representative of the condition of Indian women.
Ø India has the world’s largest number of professionally qualified women.
Ø India has more female doctors, surgeons, scientists and professors than the United States.
Ø India has more working women than any other country in the world. This includes female workers at all levels of skill – from the surgeon and the airline pilot to bus conductors and menial labourers.
Whatever it is, still in many villages in India women are still living like slaves without education and so ignorant of their rights. Severe laws must be passed to penalize men who cause brutality to women and government must take the initiative to educate women in villages. Education is the strongest tool to bring those women from ignorance.
Juz Proud to be a women.
