Its just a commercial gimmick
by Tanya Munshi on Mar 03, 2008 03:15 PM

Come on, we all know it. This is the time for all the beauty products, household appliances, jewellery stores, fashion houses to offer discount sales for the 'woman of today!'
I completly agree with Manjit Singh. In a country like ours, where female feoticide, dowry deaths, eve teasing, harrassment still occur, its silly to talk about Intl Women's Day. (What do you think, that for one day, the eve teaser will pay respect to a woman, by not harassing her on March 8?) One has got to know the reality, before joining the woman's day celebration bandwagon!
