HOW TO IMPROVE THE STATUS OF INDIAN WOMEN

Atrocities and violence against women are on the daily ascend in India. A lot of seminars debates and group discussions are on the way, but a workable solution is yet to be evolved. Laws fail miserably and the system has an unhampered course, most of the women find insecure everywhere. Harsh penalties are the only way to combat this situation, this is the abstract of many articles debates and discussions in this line. Is it true and workable ?

Let us have a new dimension of thought in this area, we will do away with all harsh steps of penalization. We look in a new way leaving all fundamentalists aside, heralding a new turning point which promote a meaningful interaction of both sexes. Our Obsolete society has set several norms binding men and women, old attitudes keep young dynamic men and women in separate cubicles of life and the contact is banned in the name of immoral traffic, and the entire public look up on them with yellow eyes This sex wise discretion must go first. In a new society both the sexes should be closely adhered to the moral profiles and the traditions of the country. It should be our moral commitment to honor the principles of moral codes in the society. There is no doubt Womanhood should be respected but no special status or right assigned to women what men is deprived of. i.e. both men and women should be equal before all laws and no sex wise discrimination .The psychology behind to save a guilty woman from the hands of law and the urge for sexual exploitation are closely related. Barring women from get-togethers social forums, visibly a no face to face situation and unsociability with men actually augment the suppressed emotions thereby proliferating undesirable tendencies in both sexes.This was the problem what exactly persisting now. Cordial relationship and free associations would definitely ease such excitements. School education with boys and girls in the same class would definitely help in this context. This is what experts in the field say

Several of our men obviously prefer to see women always in their traditional costumes confined to home just for looking after children and household works. They never allow her to work outside even don't allow to be wear fashionable dress on outing. Of course some of the women too may be inclined to please their husbands in following traditional path, but in general a vast majority is under pressure, find impossible to change life style. Virginia Woolf, an essayist, novelist of early 20th century rightly put as "The angel in the house," she said if women want to emerge stronger in the society she must kill the angel in the house.The woman of the past smiles as being affectionate to look after the children and husband serving as the lamp of the house. This means women are being treated as weaker sex and hence cannot be equated with men in the society. Virginia Woolf questions this concept, as she has to break all conventional barriers imposed by the male dominated system, she needs better education and she should have the freedom to choose her field of activities.

As far as Indian women are considered she remains still as the "Angel in the house", with some frequent customary citations as women being as President, Prime minister, judges of Supreme court etc. But it appears all these have no vivid impact on the general backwardness of women folk in India also the fundamentalist attitudes remains mostly unchanged. However a review of their position during the last three decades reveals a glimpse of hope leading to a slow jump. Now there is an appreciable spurt in technical education of women in large numbers and mostly they work in IT and business related firms. These smart and girls move freely with their male colleagues with determined team work, all show a promising trend .Above all  thanks to our visual media as they are bent upon telecasting several spectacular programmes of bringing the Indian woman out of her shell.
