Let me begin by telling you I’m not a feminist.  Neither am I the preacher of feminism with its often shocking claims( such as men discriminate women by making them pregnant, so all women of the world should unite under the policy of aborts), nor am I totally against it( because in many corners of the world the rights of women are defied and feminist organizations struggle with this occurrence). But the other day I’ve come across an article narrating the flagrant treatment of women in the Indian society and it stunned me.

Having read that article, I’ve surfed on the Internet in search of further information and followed a dozen links. In general, all of them tell one and the same: In India, bearing a baby girl is undesirable. That is the way of India that a woman is thought to be a burden for her father, at first, then, for her husband because they need to provide her with food and clothes all her life.  For all that, the Indian society disdains those women who work because, according to its principles, a woman mustn’t work. Nonsense! Where is the logic?! Firstly they complain that a woman is a burden, and then say she can’t work to fend for herself. I don’t mind the tradition saying that women are responsible for the household and coziness at home, that they are, in the first place, mothers, but discrimination on the racial factor in modern times is inadmissible. In accordance with the constitution of India, women are equal with men, but in reality it’s the same as with the caste although, according to the same constitution, all citizens are equal. In practice, women are a lot worse educated or uneducated at all, have little or no influence in politics, and what is horrible, criminal acts committed on women, such as robbery, beating or rape aren’t often investigated. So, dear feminist organizations, this is where you need to work in order to protect the abject and offended!
