All that I have achieved in my life is because of my teachers. Some of them were formally designated as my teachers — in school, college, and university. Others, such as my parents, were my teachers nonetheless.
Thanx To All My Teachers

International Women’s Day (IWD) is marked on the 8th of March every year. It is a major day of global celebration of women.

International Women’s Day is the story of ordinary women as makers of history; it is rooted in the centuries-old struggle of women to participate in society on an equal footing with men. In ancient Greece, Lysistrata initiated a sexual strike against men in order to end war; during the French Revolution, Parisian women calling for “liberty,
equality, and fraternity” marched on Versailles to demand women’s suffrage.

A woman is an emblem of beauty; an enigma that harbors a myriad thoughts and emotions within the crucible of privacy. She drives you crazy, and yet one cannot fathom how insipid the world would be without her.

Women in India

Women in India have seen their social positions rise and fall in accordance with the policies of the prevailing rulers.  In ancient India women in many places occupied an equal if not superior position to the men. History is witness to  the fact that during many reigns, the queens held greater power and influence than any of the courtiers. Literary manuscripts tell us about kingdoms gained and lost due to a single woman. Valmiki’s Ramayana speaks about Ravana’s entire clan being wiped out due to his abduction of Sita. In Mahabharata all the Kauravas perished because they humiliated Draupadi in public.

To instill such high ideals in humankind, Indian ancestors created a plethora of goddesses who enjoyed equal status with their husbands. The concept of Ardhanareeshwarar, where God is depicted as half-man and half-woman, is a
concrete example to support this argument. In many philosophical texts God is referred to a Tat, meaning It and  that God is beyond gender. And, one would find a comparable Goddess for each God. Further, we know for a fact  that ancient India was permissive; women could have multiple husbands, widows could remarry, divorce was
permitted for incompatibility or when estranged

Women in Modern India

Presently the picture seems to be very different and paradoxical. Goddesses are revered in various hues and forms throughout the country. Most major Hindu festivals are venerations of a Goddess. But the mortal Indian  woman is another story completely. There are horrendous stories of ‘dowry deaths’; stories of female infanticide are  unfortunately too many to ignore; women in small towns and villages are victimized by powerful figures of the  community and their families. These cases are not the norm of our society but the fact that they do happen is horrifying. Comparisons made with the low points of other societies or religions or countries do not take away from the fact that these cases should not be there and should not have any reason to reoccur. The wonderful legacy of our past of tolerance and of women empowerment seems to have faded away.

International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8th. This day celebrates the life of a woman who faces hardships with her inner strength.

It is amazing how women are so wonderfully giving and loving. Their love is unconditional and forever. And once
they forgive, they really forget. They don’t dig out the heavy artillery, even when they have the best opportunities
to do so.

HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY
