She makes food for the family, yet she can’t eat with them she first has to feed her in laws. She gives birth to the child but if she tries to discipline her child she is abused. She earns her living both in the house and in the outside world, yet she puts up with abusive language and mental tortures. I used to think these stories have become history but a better view of the world has shown me that this isn’t history it’s the present of many a women. And I am not talking of the rural areas but of urban educated families. One family where the wife thinks that she isn’t good enough and finds security in the confines of her house… but how secure is she?! She is abused by her in laws, and works day and night like a slave… prays each night for her death. Another family, the girl is educated she is working, she puts up with abusive language and mistreatment, alienated in her own house… she can’t leave cos she doesn’t earn enough to support herself and her son… her in laws tell her son that she is going to kill him. A beautiful girl, extremely talented is married in to an educated rich family, she is tortured so much by her in laws that she had to leave her house, her daughter and son… which shouldn’t have been difficult cos the kids were taught to disrespect her, but who can over look the fact that she is the mother.
The girl leaves her parent’s place to make her own home, ends up in her husbands house…… where is her home?! Where does she belong?!

so true gurl!!!
With time things are changing, but at a slow pace.
Its time for her to take charge and give the world a lesson. And, i see women, atleast in urban areas, are not very far away from it. A person has his/her own life. That life is something with which no one has any right to play with. And the abuse comes if the woman is considered weak. Time for her to show her strength :)
hey sups!
this is really something worth pondering over... but well pondering is all we can do right? although there has been the feminist revolution, it hasnt really done anything for the women except load them with more responsibilities. the issue should not be that women are as able as men... the issue should be women being women... taking care of the family, looking after the house, tending to the minutest needs of the family, bringing life into this world, and being the backbone of all homes should get the respect that they deserve. its a pity that women are mistreated not just by members of the opposite sex but by their counterparts too. there's nothing you can tell them which can make them come to their senses. they already know they are women too. women being women, submit to the demands and abuses not because of lack of strength or brains or because they have no choice; but because despite the tensions and abuse and troubles, the husband, the children and their happiness and comfort remains a top priority for her. i really dont know how this problem can be solved... education doesnt change the mindset of men being superior and women being slaves that in one way or the other is put inside the heads of most indian men,and unfortunately a lot of women too.
Adios!
Love,
Devil's own
