Women Day Special : Are they really celebrating?


Some one has rightly said that, "Women is the symbol of power , God's finest and beautiful creation without whom no creation is possible " .  Each year we are celebrating women day on March 8 but is it really living up-to the expectations. Are women still given equal status to their male counterparts? Are they seen equal in society? Are we really celebrating Women day in India with the real essence for which the idea was propagated? Making a day specially for the women is a good idea but they should also accept that they have been given that standard where they can happily celebrate the day. In Indian context if you will hear views of different generation the data could be shocking enough. Still major population feels that they are the ones who have to take care of household chores only, why do they need to move out to prove their equality with the men. Men had been superior and would always be. Few channel also showed that people still believe that if something wrong happens with the women men are not to be blamed its only women who are responsible for it. 


On one side we talk of equality and on the other we say that women don't even have the freedom to wear clothes of their choice. A recent documentary that was released by a reputed channel on the nirbhaya case showcased the mindset of people. But fault lies within us as since ancient times the mindset has been where we considered women inferior and the same is prevailing in modern times. In India situation is pathetic where the birth of the girl child is not even celebrated and at few places there is problem of women infanticide. But in my view women can only give the credit of their upliftment to themselves as they had the courage to come out and match their male counterparts with strong will and determination.They were the ones who are taking care of motherhood, they can manage office well, they can take care of family also. They can do multitasking better than men but still where are we lacking that we cannot change the mindset.

This day marks the importance of women in everyone's life and forces us to remember their contribution and the pain they have taken for us. This day is important so that we can do introspection of the society and we still need to change a lot. this day is just an honor for our women where we try to recognize their efforts and the contribution they have made for our growth. We should never think that the two gender are different , once we talk of equality it should reflect clearly in our actions as well. So lets take a pledge that we will implement the changes in our thinking, we will change our mindset and women day will not only be updated on our profiles in social media but it will change our heart and we will respect this gender more and will give them the status that they deserve. This topic is very close to my heart and i tried to express my views. I would love to hear the views of my reader in the comment section so that we can learn from the fruitful discussion.
