To start with we need to change the mind set of the society, thats where all the problem lies.Indian society is still feudal and they treat women as second class citizens in rural belts as well as in the cities...Middle class is especially guilty of doing this !

The only way is education. Educate morfe women and removed illiteracy. There is lot of improvement in last decades and century. But age old traditions and views do not vanish instantly.

Because you chose to say so, otherwise all men are also not that forward too. It is all about our own mentality that we see things through sexist glasses. If you give it a wider look, there are two kinds of people in this world Forward or backward. Men and women are suffering equally.

Irrelevant , obsolete man oriented traditions are the bane on the country .they are here and going to stay forever. Education in women did not yield satisfactory results. There should be sea change in both the attitude and mindset of men and women. In the absence of which, women will stay in the same condition as they were in pre-Vedic age.

The main reason behind backwardness of a woman is the mentality of a man. I have visited almost whole of India. I have come across few places in states like Rajasthan, UP, Haryana, MP and Gujarat; where girls are either less educated or not educated. Her family members give more stress on her early marriage more than in education and career building. Many girls are forced to get married whether she has attained 18 years or not. Men are taught and sometimes well educated. If women is better in education and career than the groom, the marriage does not take place. Moreover the dowry system is prevalent yet many a times government has marketed the social evils of dowry system.
No girl or woman wants to live a backward life. It is the man who force her to live like that.

Exactly its there in India but I think the situation has improved in the past. But still the thinking of people is they think women to be backward. This all need to be changed as it is a obstacle in growth of our country. :evil:

According to Human Development Report, presently female infanticide and death rate of female is more in India compared to the other countries. India has been declared as a country not safe for women in the year 2012..

It takes time to see the fruits of change which started now. But more women and women should come to the fore to eradicate such ineqalities in the society.

If a section of women is in the inferior position to men this is women themselves to be blamed, they did not do anything to improve their situation but in most cases taught younger girls to act as if they were slaves. This is women who treat them badly in most cases, watch any Saas-Bahu serial to know what I mean. If the women are treated badly in work places it's their double standard, they want both, equal rights and reservation in every field at the same time. Equal rights and reservations are two different things. If they are being sexually exploited, it's because they are not resisting properly or behaving loosely in the first place. No one dares exploit women who are brave and firm.

I agree with Sunil. Irrespective of the sex, it is in the human nature to correct themselves according to the times and situation. A child not knowing if it puts unknowingly its hands on a burning candle it hurts, may hurt in the first instance. But it learns with time the consequences and takes care not to repeat it. And see the same child whenever it comes across with a candle. It recalls its past experience and avoids its wrong ways. Akin to this we must learn our past experiences and adjust to situation in the hand presently. This applies to all of us. After all life is a long tale of adjustments.

It is a generalized statement, as I do not support this, India have women PM, women President and in many states women cm, and in many areas women are doing exceptionally good than men, it is considered women are good managers than men, there are pockets where the lights of civilization is yet to reach, but it will be developed soon, I think in tribal pocket where we consider they are not so civilized, actually, with tribal women are more advance than men and greater respect for women than men there,

Its true. Tribal women and village folks who were not affected by the pseudo standards of Modernity are the happiest lot. They respect each other. They will not allow anything to happen that jeopardise the harmony of the family in particular and the society in general.

Yes I agree with you. I would like to add one more point along with this. It is the woman who can control both the domestic and office affairs all together. She can do multi-tasking jobs much better than a man.

If that is so let women come forward and show what they are. I feel it's due to self imposed limitations that crop up due to fear of opposing the defective and obsolete Traditional laws. None can stop if a woman dares and breaks the shackles of slavery which are self imposed. Courage is the need of the hour.

Something I have noticed time and again a member starts a discussion and disappears from the scene.It is ex[pected of the member to give some feedback and respond when other members respond to their discussion ,... I find this attitude highly irritating and ill mannered on a discussion forum !

True Usha we have so many threads that have been created by users who never bothered to return comments or their thoughts, it is indeed a very irritating thing, but so far as we are all concerned, let us look at it as they are the losers, not us, we get another thread to participate in and comment upon! :woohoo: Let them be losers, we are the winners! :evil:

I agree with both of you. I think Jaya is new in this site. She may need some time to know the whole thing. I feel that any one of us should send her a private message and let her know few such things which she has been missing or ignoring.

This type of halfhearted participation kills the spirit of Forum discussions. Yes, you are right. I some times feel as if I'm talking with a wall

She was online rcently and since this is her only disvussion it is not difficult to monitor it...however, coming back to the topic , I feel that in our country the gap between the uneducated and backward thinking women and the educated forward thinking women is immense. Of course there is the large middle class where there are women of varying degrees ..It is actually the middle class which comprises of the large urban population and the women are not backward in this class since they want to come up in life,get educated,get a job and better their lot !

That's true.the intense desire to make mark of their own is quite visible in middle class urban women. This wave is bound to become big. It's an uphill task for this class to unshacle themselves from the deep rooted traditions of the land. I for one am very hopeful for an amazing metamorphosis in the years to come.
