This statement is ridiculous. As girls we should be more aware of our rights and the acts of injust against us, whether it is at home also. We should stand against all of the stereotypes who feel that girls are best as commodities and rest good for nothing. Its time that we come together on a platform to fight against this male driven society that has been laying rules and regulations for us.
ReplyDeleteThis statement is completely wrong.In todays world when girls have proven that they are equally capable as boys,no such stereotype feelings should prevail.We are just not all about looks,we are no commodity,we are individuals with strength and capability.We know how to make things work for us.
ReplyDeleteIt is true and in many middle class home even now the daughter in laws are kept under covers and not allowed to venture outside...I have gone through this thing and now finally after 18 years decided to oppose it since then there have been so much tension in my family and my husband. I want to work and be independent financially...I am trying very hard lets see without raising my voice and making a scene f I can carry this out.
ReplyDeleteI think what you are doing takes a lot of courage. Hope you succeed in making your dreams come true.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I are the lucky ones because we have the best parents in the world. Even in the early 1980s, they were brave enough to oppose "keep on trying for a son" chants of their relatives and parents.
ReplyDeleteWe had the best education and life one could get those days in suburban Uttar pradesh - amongst all our relatives' children, we were the only ones who were sent to the best English medium schools in our city.
My parents stand tall and proud today when the same relatives look on, with envy, the first doctor and the first management executive in the extended family.
It breaks my heart when I see urban people my age consider abortion for their unborn daughters and treat their own blood like 2nd grade citizens.
We Indians still have a long way to go by the looks of it..........
Absolutely not. I don't believe in it but I cannot deny that even today in most of the households this is a reality. I myself have suffered a same fate after my marriage. but all thanks to my parents, I am now coming out of my horrible past and I have made a vow to myself that I will make my daughter so strong that she can stand against any injustice for herself as well as for others.
