Naina an easy Target - Page 2

Even preeti and bela see naina as not good looking. Preeti put ubtan, did gungan of naina being topper yesterday instead of saying my sister is good looking.

Only rakesh knows her worth as topper. Somewhere though rakesh wants to get her married off to some lower middle class guy because he is against dahej pratha and stuff, his reasons for getting naina are different from taiji's reasons.

Rakesh is misogynist no doubt but somewhere he also recognizes naina's merit and thinks it will be difficult to get a groom for her if she studies more. It was a common concern back then

In the 90 and today, a girl is judged for her looks, purity of character and family status and a boy is judged for his earning capacity. A boys looks and character matter little. If a boy is wayward they think getting him married will sort out the problem. The wife must then bring the husband into line. If he doesn't come in line then the wife is blamed for failing to impress her husband.

Girls with brains are always considered as a threat. It happened in the 90s and continues to happen today both in families and in the workplace.

Much as we move towards equity between the sexes, society still puts the glass ceiling for girls with brains.

So true, the struggle of a girl still continues even after so much of development, there is still no equality between a girl and a boy. This is still a male dominant world. They can't take orders from a women in a work place.

We see very few people like Anand who supports girls with their education and mainly a girls feelings, which is always goes unnoticed by the family. Their want, their wishes never come into picture. They always sacrifice for their family whether its a mother, wife, sister or daughter.

The situation will only change when people like us and like Anand teach their sons how to appreciate a woman and still maintain their own sense of self worth. We can only hope that the progress made thus far will continue and not allow a slide back. We must keep the fight for equality alive in every area of our lives.
