Every day is womens day.I think it is not required to celebrate any day particularly.But having said that the purpose behind having a womens day should be that when you specify a day for women maybe a thought will be spared at least on that day for her welfare, her health, her state of mind and her happiness.In an urban middle and upper class households we see equality between the men and women in a family to a large extent but rural India is still a different cup of tea. Not only rural India even in a city in an uneducated labour class family women are abused and tortured. My maid tells me every second day that her husband hit her the night before. He is a plumber who works two days a week and then drinks away all his earnings for the rest of the week.She runs the household, feeds her kids, sends them to school hoping for a better future for her children and now she is also saving some money to buy a plot of land.When I tell her she is better off without a husband as it will mean a mouth less to feed she says he will die if i kick him out, no one will feed him. Her biggest problem is a 'WOMAN'her mother in law who supports her son in spite of all this. For me my maid is the unsung hero, CELEBRATE HER WOMANHOOD.
