Celebrating women day should be treated as reminder to all people concerned ,authorities, men and women that there is still lot to be done to bring our fairer sex at par with males and to improve their lot. Ibelieve the aim should not be to celebrate this for perpetuity ,rather we should work out some plans depending on different growth statistics and social indicators related with female folks which, when achieved this celebration should be stopped and assumed that we all male and females are equal in all respect no matter what. Celebrating it continuously, after some time becomes a potent symbol of existing differences between them and men ,rather than mitigating them Its same as reservation existing in our country that has now created a statutory castes i.e. Reserved and non reserved, and has created threatening social undercurrents . And as far as about Equality of men and women,its a absolute must. Except for few biological differences,in all other respect men and women are same. And the question should be rather how fast we are able to give our female folks their overdue share without which its unimaginable to uplift our country,socially,economically and culturally.

And my heart really goes with you.. i beleive that ur family has really suffered due to a women.. but try to see the large canvas.. take Care

ya ok ur right...but u miss the point. noone has contested whether women are still treated as inferior esp. in the weaker sections of our society. what the debate is abt is...whether days like women's day, and in swathi's case laws like the dowry law are doing any good to change the situation. true the intentions might be right, but the implementation is so shoody that one has to think about whether they are doing more harm than good.

and again laws are only instrument in the hand of us to achieve justice.. its the execution that is cause of problem...not women as a ahle and law itself.
