'One Time Happy , Next Being Sad' - Women Status

"I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved." -B.R. AMBEDKAR 

Various women emancipation paradigm presented in parliament , raised by NGOs ,then implemented to vanish lukewarm responses of society towards their growing feeble status.Why political class, so concerned to empower women standard ? The answer lurking somewhere but visible concretely as the lower and upper house of Parliament holding maximum number of male members as MPs, MLAs etc.

To cutback male chauvinism in order to escalate women identity as ' POWERPUFF WOMEN' , embraced with key features like position, power, role model and so on endless accolades .In order to do so, most awaited women reservation bill (108th Amendment Bill) is still pending in Lok Sabha while Rajya Sabha has passed this bill on 9 Mar, 2009. If passed,this bill will reserved 33% of all seats in lower house of Parliament of India , the Lok Sabha, and in state legislative assemblies to secure women designation and boost their projection to something invisible leads to visibly possible.But this bill is acting as a part of vote bank politics as if UPA II praises it they will be benefited in the upcoming 16th Lok Sabha elections, ,if BJP applauded and agreed they will attract maximum women voters . Actually, they are trying to win heart of women playing politics as a game.


Now, moving towards an optimistic approach,over the past few millennia women received many great changes and modern society banned many faulty traditional practices such as sati, jauhar, purdah, devadasi and much more that forced women to suffer a lot. These practices were mostly imposed during medieval period but not momentous during vedic period or ancient times.

Looking at current status of women in India, we can proudly say that yes women have held offices including that of President, Prime minister , Speaker of the Lok Sabha and leader of the opposition. Presently , Meira Kumar on 3 June, 2009 elected unopposed as the first speaker of Lok Sabha. Though, in past we have many prominent leaders like Indira Gandhi , Sarojini Naidu and the list goes on.

 Yet , this terminology is not permitted to explore in different domains.Constantly , discriminated by narrow communal sections women inked with many issues such as-

WORKING ARENA
Women are facing dual problems in conquering own and others desires. Especially, women professional overburdened with profession and household workloads. Moreover, women are less paid and more used than men.

SOCIAL AND CULTURAL PROBLEMS
The socio-cultural problems surrounded women to a large extent. Parents take side of son more than daughter to obtain a huge dowry - another income source, act as catalystic support in their old age without pondering about women needs like equal excess to education, medical facilities, employment, and other productive resources fostering their ideologies.

CRIMINAL OFFENCES AGAINST WOMEN
It is rightly said :

 "YOU SAVE YOURSELF OR YOU REMAIN UNSAVED" 

 The figure provided by the National Crime Report Bureau , recorded an increase of over 35% in various crime committed against women in the previous year 2011- 2012 as against 2009-2010 .In Bihar , the total number of crime against women stood at 10,231, which 4.5% of the total number of crime committed against women in the country, inspite of draconian laws, no improvement spotted. These epidemic violence include sexual exploitation for economic gains like prostitution & trafficking, adultery, abduction,wrongful confinement so on boundless criminal breach of trust.
To save an epileptic society, hopefully any doctor can do something.

RAPE
Rape numbers uprising, consequently rising rapists .An anti-rapists revolution evinced throughout India whether in Nirbhaya case, or currently Gudiya case. One women gets raped every 22 minutes and one child gets raped every 76 minutes, NCRB Report. Totally astonishing lodged cases of rape registered a 873 percent jump between 1971- 2011. MPs, MLAs, Commissioners -stalwart of democracy , shocking silent gestures or sometimes an assurance that striking steps must be taken. Furthermore to stop heinous crime like rape ,'ANTI RAPE BILL LAW' passed to payback something to citizens of this country. But , mentality gap still popping inside the mind of our country 'INDIA'.

NO LAW IS USEFUL UNLESS IT IS IMPLEMENTED BY ALL.
NO CRIME CAN BE PREVENTED IF ITS ROOT IS UNDERESTIMATED
IT WILL KEEP GROWING AND AFFECTING WELFARE OF SOCIETY.
