Real role of Indian women


                                                       Real role of Indian women

 Women have been kept suppressed and under controlled by men for the ages, but still more than 90 percent women feel proud to say I do not take single decision of my home without the permission of my husband.

This problem is not related to only low educated and poor section of society even most educated, well professional, with leading position in career, enjoying all the tools of modern India these women area also not able to take single decision related to her and their children, then how could we blame that illiteracy is the reason of women backwardness. As per my thinking education and empowerment both are different to each other, as per the description of above lines, this is quite clear that there is not any similarities between education and empowerment , an uneducated women could be empower but It is quite possible to a career oriented professional women does not have any right to take single decision of her life.

Means decision making is the base of empowerment, still women have been treated as a subordinate of men. India is one of those countries in the world where right of suffrage was granted to women before world war second. Political awareness among women before has increased with time but they are still deprived of decision making position. In the current political scenario women occupy barely 11 percent of total parliamentary seats, participation in cabinet is no more than 6 percent, representation in supreme court and high court is less than 4 percent and in the field of administration and management merely 3 percent participant. Pattern of marginalization and subordination that characterized women’s common experiences in patriarchy in most other power structure, such as the family business enterprises, political parties, religious organization, labour unions and media establishment are also noticeable.

The basic factors responsible for insufficient participation are traditional orthodox thinking, disbelief of society, economic dependency, heavy load of domestic work and hesitation towards public life these are the cause of women backwardness.

Now new trend has started in urban and semi-urban areas of country, men want to get marry to domestic professional lady, means of domestic professional is a women should be earning and career oriented but she does not have capability to take her own decision without the permission of in-laws and lord husband exact means “ bandhua majdoor”  There are so many Indian art movies have explained the situation of domestic in a very emotional way, like Aparna Sen’s movies  Parma, Fire, Warer, and Door these are few fantastic and best example of agglomeration impersonal niches of women in India.

According to India’s constitutions, women are legal citizen of the country and have equal right with men, because of lack of acceptance from male dominant society, Indian women suffers immensely, women are responsible for baring children yet they are malnourished and in poor health condition. Women are also overload in the field and complete all of the domestic work.

Right to food is going to start now but women cannot take food before her husband, whenever I think about all these things become completely upset towards it. Why marriage is quite important for girl?? As per the context of Indian scenario marriage means to provide free services to the lord husband.  Women in India  feel proud to display that they are well protected and pampered by their husband without realizing that they are making themselves helpless, so first of all women should be self dependent because in the absence of self dependency nobody could be empowered

  1. You have given a new perspective in your article to the debate going on women empowerment in our society and media. It has been rightly pointed out that educated women also don't have the freedom they deserve. So how can we related education and the empowerment?
    Education cannot be the alone solution to the problem. There are other factors also that are associated with it. Along with women's education, the society need to be educated about the importance of women. A country where women are worshiped and considered as Durga, Lakshmi, Kali and Saraswati, the discrimination in the real world doesn't justify their action.
    However the new generation is quite sensitive about the issue and the decade old tradition is slowly going to be disappeared in coming decades. We must be hopeful about this. Also we keep making effort in regard to create awareness about the importance of women.
    The article is based on good research. Keep writing... Good luck...
