Woman power asserts itself in India���s economic surge
The inertia of traditional thinking is being shaken by the realities of a new age. The mindset in all the spheres has always. One of the compelling realities is that the Indian women (half the population of our country) has proven to be an asset.
INDIA HAS already stepped into the 21st century with confidence and optimism earnestly hoping it would explore the utmost potential of all its resources. In our journey from a mediocre nation to an influential country, we have successfully addressed many issues which involved traditional social thoughts and fears.


However, while we laud ourselves for our accomplishment in last few decades, it is also time to look into our social, cultural and personal realities. There exist some silent issues which, if not acknowledged and dealt with may translate themselves into the intense explosives which would disturb our voyage.


These bear special significance since the inertia of traditional thinking is being shaken by the realities of a new age. The mindsets in all spheres has always been challenging towards the sustainability of the progress. One of the compelling realities is that the Indian women (half the population of our country) has proven to be a competitive asset in different spheres yet is battling with the traditional mindset. Yes, the domestic violence at all levels -- physical, mental, psychological -- and in all classes (lower to higher) is still evident in our society which has now become a challenge before the new-age woman to overcome.


Today, she is a doctor, a homemaker, a successful businesswoman, a teacher, a minister even President of a country. As a mother, she is loving yet ambitious, honest, proficient, dependable yet hardworking and truthful, fiercely independent yet her family is priority, outgoing yet a homemaker. The journey was never a cakewalk, instead an outcome of several years of struggle against the social and customary and time-honoured mind sets. The Indian women transcended from the well of age-old thoughts and stepped into a modern world with renewed vigour and determination, ready to accept any change that would come across their path.


On the other hand, the society is yet to equally match up with the pace of the woman’s development and the traditional mindsets have not changed to a desired level. The new-age realities of a woman have never been understood. Being abused in many fronts, deprived of rights, expected to perform both ways (traditional as well as modern), criticised, if she dares to talk about her desires and ambitions, has shattered her personal life. Unfortunately, the legitimate dream for safe haven for a peaceful family has been disturbed by personal intolerance and escalating violence with the domestic conflict continuing to tear apart the serenity of the family.


Though family is her top priority yet she cannot be expected to be there always. The past was never as good as the today’s achievement, so women cannot hold themselves back. Maybe, it seems to be a silent issue yet it has an intense potential to shake the whole system as our progress is deeply embedded with our social and family life.


It is the right time to stop violence against woman and all alternatives should be examined in order to sustain the rise of woman power.

Santosh, You are absolutely right! Women don't even realise that they are taking the advantages of tradition and modernity. I have dated many women and not even once did they pick the bill at the restaurant.
Rohan, Women don't believe that they switch back and forth between traditionality and modernity . Read this article "Men in flashy cars make women go weak in the knees " At the last paragraph you wll find that though women have become financially strong but still they switch back to tradition while choosing men...

Mere complaints are not enough. Everything has to be proved. Otherwise, the one who complained would be in big trouble!
Dear Santokh singh saggu , It seems you are alsos suffering from the childhood trauma. as you keep jumping from one post to another pillar like a baby,first you tease the lady to help you and ask her number to contact her,when she dares you to give her number you start accusing,probably she actually wants to help you, you never had any problem,you were just eve teasing,I request you that this is a serious platform,dont make fun of it,by your reckless comenting. I am noticing that you keep commenting and spoiling all the articals,and take away the focus, Consult a good Psychoanalyst for counselling. If any body complains against you may land up in big trouble or may be behind the bars. This is a suggestion as a good samiritan.
.So, this is how you help people in Dark hours ... Good Keep it Up !!

Read my article about "Men are oppressed too". Men also need to be liberated from their traditional roles. Feminists have fooled the society, including women into believing the crap that women alone are the discriminated gender. We men should now expose the other side of gender bias.
.Dear Tina, as far as female foeticide is concerned , woman are more responsible for it than men . The problem is not created by men, but by the woman to a woman.
.Dear Tina, Its a wrong preception that everything is bed of roses for men, its not so , the problem here is : Either we are too close to the problem , or too far from the problem . When we are too close to the problem , we see its only a small part and start making conclusions , when we are too far from the problem , then we don't know whether it is an elephane or an ant. But , when when we find an optimum distance from where the problem is visible in whole , then only right solutions can be searched.
.Dear Tina , You say that men are intolerance with female counterpart matching them. This is not so, but, it is so that when a woman achieve succes or becomes equal in terms of a man , she exertst too much pressure on his man by unspoken messages to be more succeesfull than her and earn more money than her . When woman starts making , there is total behaviour change in a woman. As long as the women does not makes money she is compassionate , but once she starts , she become chichidi type . Dear , I want to marry a highly successfull woman who is more successfull than me and earns more than me , more over I want to marry a woman who is 2 to 3 older to me . Is it Possible ? I don't think so that it is possible. Though women have become modern , but there are certain occasions when revert back to the millions of years back phenomon. From you title it seems you are marwari brahmin girl , marwari brahmin girls are very sweet and compassionate , how come you are so aggressive?
.Tina, Are women not hypocrats? What nonsense! Are women not human beings? If they are, then they must be havign the same weaknesses as men. I have seen plenty of women who are hypocrats. Feminists are a classic example. They want equality only where it suits them. Moreover, women alone are getting all sympathy while men suffer in silence. Men are disposable. The sufferings of men is never understood by society. Its time to expose the sufferings of men and the double standards of feminists.

Dear Rohan , When women can't debate or don't have answers , they resort to psychological War Fare. If this is happening merely in this article . Just imagine the condition of men who have been with these type of women.
.Tina, Your response shows how frustrated you are that we men are exposing women and feminism. You women are not ready to share the responsibilities that we men have. Start doing that and lets see. Right now, you have got only rights and no responsibilities. Let a lady get married only if she has a good and stable job. Let her struggle like a man. Let her pay alimony and maintenance to her husband. Let her stand at the border under scortching heat and extreme cold and face the bullets. While her husband is at home comfortably sleeping. Let women get the same punishment as men. Let women pay the price of equality. I don't support female foeticide or deny the sufferrings of women. But the problem with you is that you deny the sufferings of men. Learn to understand the sufferings of men too.
.The Crime , Corruption and Violence is not gender specific , but it is general where both men and women suffer. Neither Women Empowerment is needed nor Men Empowerment . But , what is needed is the EMPOWERMENT of HUMANITY.
.Tina, You are completely wrong when you say that tradition was bad for women. Tradition had its share of benefits for women too. Women could just take up the lighter job of the house, need not find a job outside, make lesser sacrifices in terms of life and limb, get lesser punishments for the same crimes, take lesser risks in life, and women were the first to be rescued from any calamity. Besides, women were considered morall superior to men. Now, women want to fool the society into modernity and yet take all the advantages of tradition. Why can't you amend the alimony act, child custody act, outraging the modesty of woman act etc. when you want equality? Why can't you change DV act, 498A etc and make them gender neutral? You cannot have it both ways. STOP THIS HYPOCRISY. STOP TAKING ADVANTAGES OF TRADITION AND MODERNITY.

Dear Rohan, now your thought is one sided.I will be heartily happy if really women could be hippocrates.Man are blessed with this qualitu while women still trying to be.I can understand the kind of intolerance in men seeing their female counterparts being marching with them.The time will come when the terms like male feoiticide,voilence agaist men etc etc will be common then only the silent suffering of women will be understood.The wrong side of women are getting explored.If things would be understood before its initiation then many things could be stopped before they happen
.Tina, How can you say that ladies cannot be satan and that Shurpanakas are in small numbers? Women are liberated and crime is no longer a male bastion. There cannot be one-sidedness. Women have to pay the price for equality.
.Dear Tina , Thanks for your comments on my comments . So, I am the No 1 Satan of this world. I have submitted an application to the Guiness Book Of World Records to Record me as the World's No 1 Satan . Yes,No 1 Satan for all the past ,present and future Violence on Women .

Tina, These are outdated theories. Times have changed. Women commit the same crimes as men. But women like you want us to believe that women are angels from outer space. I have seen plenty of wicked women and realise that their liberation is the cause of that. I can show you plenty of men who withstand torture of their wives. What about that? Many commit suicide unable to bear their wives torture.
Dear Santoskh,y r u taking everything personaly.After all my article is a general one.Do u know that in our society ladies especially married are still living with their abusive husbands for their children.I have seen in all type of class although they(woman) know that every night will end with being beaten mercilessly yet not prepared to leave their husbands for the shake of their children.My dear I have seen many bitter things.Also i have seen the ladies like Suparnakha and Manthara.But the number is less.I am not denying ur aspect.But still I feel ladies are manageable and man is the best person to manage her.Satan to koi na koi hai.But for sure ladies can not be the satan.Hwever don't take anything personally.Instead reach out to the problem that all what I want.

Tina, Women were given higher place than men in earlier times. Women misused it and society also sunk to unimaginable levels of moral degradation as a result of freedom for women. That's how the Manusmrithi came about. Now, we are witnessing a similar situation. This is the era of women empowerment and pampering of womenfolk. The next generation will see a complete degradation of moral values and over the next 50 years, men will disempower women after paying the price of empowering them. So, men have always been giving respect for women. Its only for some centuries that they were not. And that disrespect led to feminism. Now, about understanding women, there are various saying to that effect. Even God cannot understand what she wants. For example, today's women want equality. They also want to be pampered. They also want men to be subordinate. Yet, they want to be like REAL MEN, macho and manly. Women are full of contradictions. They also keep changing faster than men to suit their motives.
Dear Santoskh,I am very sorry that u had very bad experiences with woman.That's what I exactly ment in my article.Don't u know feel that it is the man who is responsible for the kind of behaviour as ur girlfriend.Woman are never understood.They always wanted to be respected by man be it in traditional or modern time,be it america or india.Had man understood this earliear then ladies would not out for education,career.Ladies are after all humanbeing.Itna to samajh mein a hi jata hai ki agar paise kamane se insan bada hota hai to woh bhi kamaye.Then everthing is fare in job after all it is not less than war
.HI Tina if you talk about violence , then talk to me I will tell how my girlfriend speaks to me , what language she speaks .
.Your article is one-sided and it should also focus on the other side.
.So you mean to say that we as a nation should adopt American culture, become a divorce capital of the world along with being the adultery capital, fatherless society, have plenty of pro-women laws while men are left at the mercy of women? You call this women-power and progress? I didn't know that. And who told you that tradition was all bad and modernism is all good?

Dear Rohan,Thanks for ur comment.yah I am fully agree with u that traditional mind set was never bad infact very good for the boys.But for the ladies it is just the opposite.I wish it would have some way good then the modern thought would not have come at all.My dear the practical life is very different.Today if woman dare to take divorce(though the no is very few) they are supported by decades of suffering.Yah i know the tolerance of woman has decreased but don't you feel that it has been steatched for a long time.After all Tolerance cannot be limitless.
