Hiya! Happy International Women Day and read this.
Every March 8, we celebrate International Women Day where we
pitch for change in the way we view women and tweet with hashtags for equality
or respect and share massively on Facebook. Isn’t it time for us, men and women
to move beyond mere tokenism and implement the changes that we want to see?
Certainly, it demands a change in our mindset and courage to be able to stand
for our women, against our elders, or for that matter, let her bloom as a human
being.
I want to narrate what some of my female friends shared with
me. After she got married, one of my friends told me how her in-laws tried to
impose their cultural practice on her taking into account that both she and her
husband belong to different castes. She gathered her strength and put her foot
down. Really! It’s one thing that we fail to understand that a girl has left
her home and parents to adjust to a new life and how we stifle her
individuality by enforcing such ridiculous and stone aged practice.
