Women Emancipaton
Women are a curve and men are straight line. He follows her
eternally. Mystery and Enigma-thy name is woman, say Cynics. She takes
on a different shape for an ordinary man, a poet and a scientist.
Behind every successful man there is a woman. She is there perhaps to
tell him that he is wrong. Behind every successful man there is other
woman, say romantics. But all agree that there would be a woman behind a
man. Conversely, there is a man in every woman even in world itself,
literally.
Is she also a woe than? Though man has got a companion in her, he has
lost his tranquility and mental peace. Manu, the Hindu law-giver,
maintained that no woman deserves liberty. His lab says—where the women
are adored there the gods live.
The woman in ancient India played a different role from that of
western woman. She was held in high esteem as Devi, Mata and Adhishakti
or energy from I which every thing else sprang. She was not a symbol of
weakness, but of Chaitanya or consciousness. Yet she was exploited and
ill - treated an; condemned as an evil influence.
True, a woman is a combination of the good and bad. She can be an
adorable mother, sister, daughter and wife or at the same time a harlot
and a cunning crook. In western society she was mainly an object of
sexuality, a sex - pot. She was called the evil by the priests. In later
years she was used to promote commercial products. Naturally she
rebelled against male domination. Recent slogan of some American Women
liberals is "Starve the Husband - the rat! Let his mind the kitchen."
This is ridiculous.
The emancipation movement for women in the world suffered badly owing
to their misconceived notions of liberty. They failed to recognize the
emotional relationship between a man and a woman.
In India it is relationship between two souls. The union is
considered sacred. It is not only meant for procreation, but also for
performing certain religious duties. A correct relationship should be
based on useful and honorable term between two equals, with different
responsibilities.
Naturally women must have a greater say in many aspects of home life
and society But she must realize that she cannot live in isolation,
"without a man she is incomplete. She plays a key role in the building
of ‘family’. She plays a crucial dominant role as a mother to her
children. Unfortunately the joint family system has almost collapsed
amongst the urban people.
The newest norm is the nuclear family set-up. When things go-off
track, there is no elderly person or force to restore cordiality
between- husband and wife. The result is broken family. Today we are
witnessing a dismal picture. In spite of many laws to defend women,
Crime against women is on the increase.
The situation is alarming. Economic independence has exposed women to
sexual exploitation in offices and other working places. They have
become a saleable commodity in advertisements. The job of an air hostess
is only that of a waitress or servant
Emancipation does not mean the liberty to do what one please. It is
movement to acquire self-respect and dignity. A woman gets respects by
being upright and traditional bound to some extend.
