A synonym for GREATNESS- WOMEN

"Wear pink. It's a girly color". "Learn how to cook and manage your home or else you won't find a groom". "You need to clothes which cover you completely. That's what the society approves".  You must be thinking what kind of a starting to a blog is this. After all blogs are meant to be started on a enthusiastic and good note right. Well, you all haven't realised then that is the way a girl's life in our country starts and this is the same way it ends. From proving themselves and begging their families to accept them in the young age to begging their children to  keep them in their house in the old age - there isn't much difference in the life of a female when she turns into a woman from a girl. Only the responsibilities increase and nothing else.

Women spend their entire life willingly or unwillingly to prove themselves to the society and yet they aren't rewarded. Rather they are tied together with the shackles of stereotypes. And these shackles are the main reason why women aren't able to climb the ladder of growth, success, appreciation etc.. I mean is there any logic behind the act of completely ignoring woman whose husband just died just because you think she's unlucky. Is there any reason behind women being pointed out again again for wearing short skirts and crop tops. I mean it's her skin, it's her body let her wear whatever she wants. Who developed the idea of women always being associated with dolls and kitchen sets and not with action figures? Who came up with the idea that men transiting from lungis to trousers is cool but a woman transiting from saris to jeans isn't acceptable?

Every person hopes that the upcoming generation would be the ideals of change but they forget that this idea of "change" will only start when a new ideology is established for the society. These stereotypes can be categorized as the constitution and the society as a country. Now there are many faults and loop holes in the constitution and the country understands that but they are not willing to do anything about it. Let me be very clear:A SOCIETY CANNOT DEVELOP WHEN IT'S WOMEN ARE NOT FREE.

Our society should understand that it is these women who make us proud and not the men. Without women, we, the men have no existence. Our lives start because of a woman (a mother) and ends with a woman always at our side (a wife). 

If we want to develop, have what we want, if we want to grow; it is very essential that we give women what they want: equality, love, respect in short they should get the right to live life on their own terms.

Please let's bring this all to an End!!
