Does She Mean Anything?

   

She deserves accolades but gets brickbats instead.

Her life is full of responsibilities & duties. She is known for compromises & sacrifices .She shares the burden of her family as an obedient daughter, as a helpful sister, as a faithful wife, as a responsible mother and in many other forms. She never asks for any return but she is always demanded one thing or other.

The Eve`s daughter leaves no stone unturned to pep up the atmosphere of her home, both maternal and marital. She is always ready to help but sadly she is considered as a wretch and compelled to live an infuriating, undemanding and uninviting life. She prepares careful plans for the future of her family but is not allowed to put forth her ideas and unexpectedly if she is allowed to talk, her ideas are considered impoverish over that of her counter gender. She is not less than a jurist to solve problems whether social, economical or political but she is kept oblivious of everything as if she is not a part of the family.

She is full of liveliness and enthusiasm for the betterment of her commune. She never gets exhausted by her haggard household chores. But the irony is that the only thing she gets in return of her great jobs is merely criticism. The maltreatment she gets from her family and the society together haunt her psyche like a malignant phatom and ultimately make her psychologically unfit. She not only experiences the harassment and violence within the four walls of her home but out side as well in the form of molestation, eve teasing and what not which trims down her worth only to that of a pitiable victim.

She has done a lot to be praised but again I say “Alas!” There is much other intolerance to thrash out but that will take zillions of pages to discuss. So to wind up here I pose a simple question to all the men folk who consider “woman” as an unfortunate creation: Why is she unfortunate and inferior .In what Sense? Why don’t these arm chair critics remember that it is by her only that they came into this world? If she has Sweetness of honey and innocence of a child, at the same time she is brave with nerves as strong as steel. So never underrate the women folk. She is a blessing in her own or more amply She is holier than thou.

Before I finish there is heeding actuality for my dear sisters also: It’s not only the men who need to understand the sanctity of woman but it is the woman herself who needs to know her individuality and importance. So “JAGO NARI JAGO.”
