I'm on my phone now, so my Times New Romans awesomeness has to go.
Anyways, your counterargument merely serves to strengthen my point Amber. What stabilizes Nikhat's will to live? What changed? Certainly not Nikhat's perception about herself. Given, she will regret her decision. But only for others. Not for herself. Killing yourself would still be presented as a viable option, as long as you're not hurting others.Now, if Nikhat is shown as a dignified woman who decides to not let society dictate her life, I'll be the first one to eat my words.P.S.: I would appreciate it if my comment is not misconstrued in quotes as bashing. I would prefer not to talk about how afflicted Gul, or anyone for that matter, is with avarice.
Small steps jazz, while we have come a long way still miles to go..
Its not only female life , its life in general that is not valued in so many countries. Poverty , lack of education and other social stigmas contribute to the society's thinking.
Nikhat cannot become a confident and empowered woman overnight.
she has not been raised that way. But she can do something about it slowly , like raise her daughters as an independent , strong willed female.
its not only India. USA still does not have a female president after 200 plus years of in dependence.
but with girls like you, we have hope. The future looks promising
