Somewhere Over the Rainbow #27 With Prats in our hearts - Page 35

Good morning!

Yes Nado, our best prime minister was a woman, Indira Gandhi. There is a joke that if women ruled the world, nations would not be at war but there would be jealous nations not talking to one another!😆Margaret Thatcher was good for UK and the current women leaders of Crotia and New Zealand are so inspiring!

Have a good day everyone, some random quotes!

Nowadays, our Vibha is posting great quotes.❤️ Thought provoking and to inspire. 🤗

India won and the guests were served ice-cream with fruit topping. 😃 Kids too excited and started learning cricket from the cheering uncles! Now they are playing the game. The last guest left around 1 am.

Good morning friends. Have a nice day.🤗

You explained so well it, Vibha. 👍🏼

Bold - Yes. Women can be the driving force of society because they are just as smart and worthy. I think that the "female" view of the world is far more humane. If women were to lead this world, I do not believe that wars would be waged.

I admire women for their better administration skills than the men, they are more compassionate than their counterparts. But at the same time, they know how to put the society in order, how to balance the power and love at the same time! Our Indira Gandhi with compassion to save millions of people from crushing by the rival country, waged a war with a brave face and won it and then with love, gifted that country to those people who suffered since long to enjoy life in freedom!!

During the opening months of the First World War, in the midst of the incendiary jingoism roiling Britain, the poet Dorothea Hollins of the Women’s Labour League proposed that an unarmed, 1,000-strong ‘Women’s Peace Expeditionary Force’ cross Europe ‘in the teeth of the guns’ and interpose itself between the warring armies in the trenches. Hollins’s grand scheme did not materialize, but neither did it emerge in a vacuum; it was nurtured by a century of activism largely grounded in maternal love. Or, as her fellow peace activist Helena Swanwick wrote: the shared fear that in war ‘women die, and see their babies die, but theirs is no glory; nothing but horror and shame unspeakable’.

Many activists believed that if women had political power, they would not pursue war. But how true is this? Do the incidences of violent conflict alter when women become leaders?

Margaret Thatcher the British prime minister who waged a hugely popular war in the Falklands that led to her landslide 1983 election victory. Thatcher is hardly the only woman leader celebrated for her aggressive decisions regarding war, our Lakshmi Bai, Queen of Jhansi and a leader of the 1857-58 Indian Mutiny against the British shown the way to the world that if necessary women are capable to wage and win wars with grit and determination!!

But these examples are anecdotal because, throughout history, women leaders have been extremely rare. just 48 national leaders across 188 countries – fewer than 4 percent of all leaders – have been female. They included 18 presidents and 30 prime ministers. Two countries, Ecuador and Madagascar, had a woman leader, each of whom served for a mere two days before being replaced by a man!!!To assess the behaviour of women leaders during crises, they say, one needs a large sample – ‘which history cannot provide’, but the modern day leaders have assertively proved their mettle in this aspect. Women succeed as mediators and negotiators because of qualities traditionally perceived as feminine and maternal. I call the women as warriors of peace, fighters for justice, and we are more civilized than these egocentric civilians with their high aspirations to grab power! -- just shared my views, and thankful to Nado and Vibha for this good discussion❤️🤗🤗❤️
