View: Woman is equal to man
We all know how women have been discriminated against for years in India. Although times have changed,the skewed sex ratio of India in favour of men still stands as an unfortunate and unpleasant reminder. Infact with women so less in number, alarm bells were ringing that many prospective grooms out there will have to remain without a bride. Things are improving. For one, Sati has been abolished. Dowries after marriage are dwindling as a standard practice. Sex determination before birth has been made illegal. Reservation for women in colleges and government jobs have been put in place. Emergence of women success stories like Indra Nooyi, Kiran Bedi, Sania Mirza ,more recently Saina Nehwal and not to mention innumerable bollywood stars will provide additional succour.Urbanisation has opened up people minds. Literacy rate has also been increasing which will only help drive away this stupid superstition that men are boon and women are bane. With India's GDP growing at a superfast 8% per annum, it bodes well for the fight against all the factors mentioned above and hence for women in general.
Counterview:Man is equal to woman
Believe me, the above line is correct. Arre sachi yaar. Men can do what women can!(professionally ie). Not only are women the fairer sex, they are also the further sex! Its men who need some help now! Ok let me elaborate a bit. You see after my 12th i got admission into a decent government college in Mumbai. When I saw the allocation list, I found that quite a few seats were reserved for women. I hear jobs in government offices are reserved for women. Well atleast that is mentioned on paper. I tell you that many jobs in the (completely unreserved) private sector are also reserved for women. I got first hand knowledge of this when I got a job in a reputed MNC after my graduation. There were many girls there who were hired just becoz they were well...girls and if they were pretty it works even more in their favour. Oh dont believe me? There is a all-girl college in Rajasthan where a significant number of girls themselves will vouch for this.The company was also hell bent on increasing the proportion of women in the workplace. Apart from this there are many males out there who automatically give girls preferential treatment for reasons they themselves know best. Yeh sab toh chod,one fine day while going to college I had missed my daily train and so jumped blindly into the next one that came. I got kicked out (ouch) because it was a ladies local!Well girls I am sure you deserve all these things! But please keep the injustice that is meted out to men in mind. Equality is what you wanted isn't it?
