This post has nothing to do with the show...read it in today's The Hindu paper and was very touched by it so wanted to share it with u all...it is by Smitha Bipin ...When I breathed for the first time You told my father "start saving,its a girl." At 5,you told me "Learn to read and write so that A boy will come for you." At 10, you told me "Save yourself,you are a girl." At 15,you told me "Stay at home,learn to cook,wash and To remain silent and obedient." At 20,you told me "Now its your own life Don't come back to us." Years went on and I kept my promise, Nobody ever had a complaint. I was the most harmless And faithful domestic animal Man ever had in his history.

this is a fact Mithalee...but change is also visible... don't, you think we are the best examples?
my parents encouraged me to be proud of myself...even when i was not successful (can read here as ideal) in either studies or even in family matters after marriage.
my chacha has 2 daughters and very much proud of them...both cousins are more than 35 yrs of age.both hve a daughter each.
only education can change this pathetic situation.

Thank u Mithalee 4 sharing this article with us. With due respect to the writer n all other members of the forum i DONT agree with the phrase DOMESTIC ANIMAL being used for any woman! With a history of over 200yrs of fight for women's rights n changing scenario i dont think women are helpless any longer!May b the article was focused on the uneducated section bt i feel proud to quote an xampl of 1 such woman - Ishrat Ali , an uneducated woman from kolkata who gave up her married life to give her children a better life , she is now one of the top 10 contestants of MASTER CHEF INDIA-3 . There wld b many more unquoted xamples! How many educated women can b that BOLD?She is an inspiration for many!
