Values stand in the way of equality for Indian women
We are all products of our upbringing and environment. Ours has been a traditionally patriarchal society. Males are brought up to lord over women and women are taught to serve them. In such a society can women ever be empowered?
WE THINK and talk about equality; when will India be ready to have 50% reservation for males in dowry, household chores, etc.?Being independent, it is easy for me to raise this issue. Some of my sisters around India may appreciate this; some may not like the idea of the issue because of our strong traditional system. And of course more than 90% males will not be ready to accept it. Most of them have grown up internalizing values that teach them that the house hold is a woman’s domain. Even if the woman is earning.
Women in India are educated but not enough to know their rights properly. A more aware female population will contribute more to national growth. It is in everybody’s interests to let women come forward.
