The real empowerment of India
It is important that a balance is maintained between the role of women and men and they function in harmony. If there is conflict in the basic structure like the family, the entire edifice of the society will crumble

TODAY, EVERYONE is talking of women empowerment. Well, definitely for the progress of a huge country like India the empowerment of women is essential. But, we have to understand what do we truly mean by the empowerment of women in India. Yes, the women have been exploited by men from past times and the times are changing.

Today, the India women are coming up on their own and making a mark for themselves, which is a very encouraging. Women like late kalpana chwla, Sunita Williams and numerous others are working successfully in a range of professions. They constitute great doctors,engineers, sports persons, who are making our country proud.

But with women empowerment comes another unnoticed aspect, which causes great trouble. The problem is that due to the changes in law giving more protection to women, some have started using it in a wrong way.

Recently, in a conference former police official Kiran Bedi emphasised that women should be given more protection but that does not mean that they have the license to misuse the law. The basic point is that though the women need to be empowered but a line has to be drawn between what is right and what is wrong. In the name of women empowerment, people cannot take law into their own hands and misuse it.

It is important that a balance is maintained between the role of women and men and they function in harmony. If there is conflict in the basic structure like the family, the entire edifice of the society will crumble.

.The role of men and women needs to be clearly defined based on the natural differences between them and so that there is no conflict and confusion. Feminism has created a gender conflict and by attacking the root of society - the family, it has created far greater social upheaval than its parent concept of socialism could ever dream of. Women's empowerment has simply meant men's disempowerment and slavery! Men are still too traditional and believe it to be otherwise until they get really screwed up by women by laws like 498A, alimony, domestic violence act etc. Its high time men unite and form powerful organisations to fight the anti-social forces of feminism.
.The most important aspect of women empowerment is education. In a country where a woman is considered to to be home maker, there are additional pressures and responsibilities thrust on her to spend her life compromising with things that she might not have compromised if given an option. The expectations of an Indian male from the opposite gender determines how women are treated in the society. Financial independence and security are important for the transformation to happen. How many Indian cities are safe for a woman in the evenings and nights to travel / commute alone during odd hours? The laws that protect women rights should not be one sided and should be equitabler.

Are men not leading a compromised life? How do you say that women alone are leading a compromised life? Feminism is a horendous bane to gender roles, harmony, marriage and family system in the world. The west is already crumbling under the breakdown of the family system and marriage in the name of women's freedom and empowerment. Men are doing some of the worst and most dangerous jobs in the world. Women never talk about equality there. But they burn their bras when it comes to cosy white-collared jobs. How fair is this? Safety - most people who die like dogs in the streets are men and NOT women. So what is special about safety of women?
