Kudos to Women

Our women have a great part to play in the progress of our country, as the mental and physical contact of women  with life is much more lasting and comprehensive than that of men. For nothing was it said, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world”. In the apron string of women is hidden the revolutionary energy, which can establish paradise on this earth – Dr Rajendra Prasad.

 India is famous as a great country of many cultures, traditions and geographical characteristics. However at the same time, India is also known by the sobriquet 'male chauvinistic nation. The male chauvinistic nation tends to forget that India is referred to as "Bharat Mata". But, Women of today are not women of yesterday-they are not just mothers and housewives but executives, Prime Ministers and Presidents of nations. They have now made their presence felt in every sphere of life.

Woman is the magnificent creation of god, a multi faceted personality with the power of benevolence, adjustability, integrity and tolerance. She is companion of man, gifted with equal mental faculty, a protector and provider, the embodiment of love and affection. The role given to women in a society is a measuring rod and true index of its civilisation and cultural attainment. Gandhiji gave a clarion call for women's  participation in the freedom movement. 

In the modern age, we find the role of women in every field. Women have demolished the myth that certain fields were only for men. Women have the power to involve themselves whole heartedly in whatever field they work. When we come across the results of competitive examinations ,we  note that women capture most of the merit seats. They are also aware of the fast changing social milieu and they are making sustained efforts to scale the leaders of social progress by dint of their zeal and dynamism. They are contributing extensively towards the social transformation and building of the nation. 

                                    “A woman’s voice is a cure and her touch a balm”. 

The journey for even the empowered women is not easy at all. Women have to face many unseen hurdles. The more the women scale the ladder of hierarchy, the more severe their problems become. It is often seen that their male counterparts at the top intentionally make things complicated for them. Still, they move through all these hurdles.

Women are less selfish and more dedicated to duty and have much patience than men by nature. Mere legislation cannot emancipate the lot of our women. This needs a radical change in our mental make up and our social structure. For this, we shall have to foster a social emancipating spirit in our everyday life. The conservative male chauvinistic attitude shall have to give way to liberalism. 

                                                    “Woman is god’s best creation”

Undoubtedly, a woman is the perennial source of inspiration for man in the odyssey of life. Women of today are no longer inanimate objects. At this juncture, I am reminded of an adage of Lord byron “There is a tide in the affairs of women God knows nowhere!” Women have occupied a pivotal position today and have achieved eminence in varied fields. 

                                                  “Men have sight, women insight.”

Despite hurdles like male chauvinism and indifference towards them, women have proved their worth as teachers, administrators, officers, entrepreneurs, doctors, engineers, nurses, and computer scientists and almost in all the spheres of activity contributing to social transformation and nation building.Women, by the dint of their devotion and dedication are heading towards advancement. They must be provided with ardent invigoration and their spirits must be kept high to delete the term "impossible" from their lexicon. Let us expect many more spirited women who will make the nation proud in times to come.
