Women's Day!
Seems so great to say it. Truly, a respect being paid to women, that too, globally. Feels so good about celebrating and each of us leaving no opportunity, un-availed to wish in the most creative way. We, remembering women in all their roles they play in our lives and making it so awesome, be it Mother, Daughter, Sister, Wife etc.
It, somehow reminds me of other ONE-DAY celebrations like Hindi Diwas (Hindi Day / हिंदी दिवस) where we remember the day and celebrate as if it matters a lot to us. Now that’s kind of joke. First question comes to my mind: What about other days? Both, hindi-diwas and women’s day have one thing in common and that is deserving respect and value to both, all days. This kind of celebration shows the extinction of values (usage value and moral value, respectively).
Coming back to Women and their day, if I look closely, what it means to us is, celebrating the relations with female species in the society, only. A particular day, doesn’t change Man’s attitude towards Woman/Women. They still are considered as an entertaining tangible item, unfortunately. Still, women who are not related to us, we treat the same way, regardless of the day, their role in society.
To add on, this change is certainly not achievable, single handedly. Both men and women need to put their efforts, equally. Men need to change their attitude and women need to stop letting them discriminated. Unfortunate it is however a fact, that women also play a vital role in this inequality to happen. Being women, there are so many examples around us which could strengthen this opinion. We all have seen, they have utilized their “being-women” to their advantage.
Let this be erased from the mindset and history, forever!
“ ढोल, पशु, शूद्र और नारी ... ये सब ताड़न के अधिकारी”.
This mentality needs to change!
When this CHANGE happens, then it would be true women’s day though I would be happy to abolish this day as this respect is need of every moment and should come from within and not limited to one day.
Great views expressed, Shubrat..something very very similar to this even I have written on FB, but the appreciable fact is that U, being a man, thinks like this and expresses it..if every male changes his ways of looking at females and only starts respecting the latter, no need to celebrate Women's Day would ever arise...
ReplyDeleteWomen exploitation was encountered there in the past and was said that this will only grow day by day;we live with this in our present and it is believed to be there in the future also.
ReplyDeleteThis can never come to an end.
But indeed we could still make some of changes but taking small initiatives with self.
