Sneha is NOT to be blamed

For those of you who blamed sneha in the last topic, she's not to be blamed!! she didn't mess up the peace in the house. first of all, what kind of a peace did those women have anyway, in that house?

bhavna, who's parents were liberal enough to make her a doctor, went backwards to the 1950's where women didn't have a say in important, intellectual matters. she became a doormat. she is, in essence, more highly educated than her own husband! is that in evidence anywhere, with the way he talks to her and orders her around? her male in-laws treat her like an imbecile with no pride in the fact that she was a doctor.

jyoti's father was in the hospital only because of her in-laws. if she wanted to donate her kidney for her father, what right did they have in trying to forbid her? wouldn't mansukh's sons do the same for him, if the need arises? hetal was the one who approached sneha with her desperate need to join the flying club and not get married. so where is it sneha's fault? she only tried to help the women get the respect and the freedom that they deserved.

lemme ask you a question.. why did India want independence from England? If us Indians had just learned to be the inferior people in our own land, and accepted being the oppressed, dont you think life could've been "more PEACEFUl" and a lot of our ancestors' lives could've been saved? But no, our ancestors wanted the same rights and freedom that they deserved. They hated being oppressed and second/third class citizens in their own country, and hence they rebelled... without violence. Life could've been more peaceful without that rebellion at the time.. but then, the India today would not exist. we would still be inferior on our own land. Would that be acceptable to us Indians?

So although that example is on a larger scale, think about what women still have to face today, on a smaller scale. being educated and intelligent, women are still considered stupid and made to feel like doormats. Being independent and self-respecting, a lot of women feel oppressed and prejudiced against. they're not allowed to make decisions in their own lives. should that be acceptable to them?

Kiran I totally agree with you. Men and women should be treated equally in our country. But, sadly aren't.

i agree with you but i want to add that we got our independence to be treated fairly and not like an outsider in our own country, women also deserve that as they haven't gotten independence only men have
