Women living the life of backwardness in this era is only because of their own fault.
Women are ranking in top 10 in Forbes Magazines in every spheres. They are no longer backward.
In india, there is too much of poverty. Illiterate Women just tend to do what their culture tells to do. Who don't want to live a life of freedom? But these women are not able to go beyond a certain perimeter to exploit the outer-world. Its not their fault but their destiny.
Resigning to destiny is another short coming of many of us. Women are not an exception. With a strong will one can rewrite one's destiny
In villages, very few women who are backward think of writing their destiny,
Very recently, a girl revolted against her parents for forcing her a marriage at an early age. She ran away to the nearest police station and with the help of the police she could stop her parents. This girl hails from a remote village in AP.
This is the bravest move on behalf of her. I am worried about the next happenings. She will never be accepted by her family members. Her life will become a battle field.
Contrary to it, she was appreciated by the village elders. She has dared to oppose. This is what is needed in a woman.
Not only in woman but also in the society such bravery is needed. Unless the society chances, civilization cannot progress.
The male species of our society do not want their women to be brave and independent spirited, they think that only they have the right to such qualities and there are also enough number of backward thinking women to support their views little realising that they are cutting off their own feet ! Thats where all the problem lies...
True. Woman has always been portrayed as weak. So, she is called 'abala' (powerless), weaker sex. I remember a phrase- Frailitry, thy name is woman. Jai Shankar prasad Hindi author wrote- Abala jeevan, hai teri yahi kahani, anchal men hai doodh- ankhon me paani. (Weaker (woman) life- your story- tears in eyes and milk in bosom)
This is age old view. But now women are on march. Weaker gender is turning strong. abala (weak) is turning sabala (strong).
