Well, today – its women’s day – a day of women in other words. The entire world is echoing with the mounting slogans on equality and women’s liberty. It’s nice to know that at least, once a year, the voice of feminists (equalists, in my words) are paid due respect. Thank god at least a day is there when every two legged anti social animal get to know that women are really starving of rights. And it’s a high time that the new emerging world of justice and globalization should leave no stone unturned to tail off any sort of abuse. Its simple thing perhaps every layman can well carve it out. But the question arises what is liberty esp. women’s liberty in this respect, who is to do what and from where the change is to be kicked off? The entire thrust lies upon how to define the word liberty in this semi conscious world.
Liberty at least for me is the autonomy – full authority to decide what one wants to do. If we relate as such, then women’s liberty would still be the mater of far cry. All in all the most irking matter is that still majority of women lack even the slightest notion of where they are and where they stand. Lack of the capacity to identify one’s position (relative) is the crux of the problem
No doubt, the women are still clashing with thunders of discriminations and I don’t think it is essential to pin down where their rights have been violated? Ask yourself, then pore over your domestic lives and then look around, it will be more than enough to fathom the bleak world of women. Really pathetic it is! Still the concept of housewives – this heart fed up with all these things is in quest for the word househusband as well. Getting weary of all those aching words, this delicate eardrum is seeing to hear ‘god bless! No matter whether you’ll have son or daughter, the caring is the thing that makes a difference!’’ At every crucial hour of life, a girl’s life is equated with dowry and at the time when a glittering rays of future is about to dawn, then no doubt she needs to get busy with wedding. Ultimately, toying with same kitchen appliances, getting their aspirations crushed with the curries and burnt with the fire is what their life ends up with. This blatant avarice in input have always compelled women to avow the inferior status as the only option.
Marriage, in fact constitutes slavery for women. For sure, Men and wife are the one but that one in our society is the husband. The discrimination thus intensifies even more breeding economic and social subjugation to men. Much regretfully, this relentless usurpation can be well mirrored in every sphere of development where the half skies barely get space to speak their mind. Even their sacrifices have never been esteemed in this materialistic world despite the fact that it is the motherly love and earthly inspiration upon which the entire civilization stands. For sure, this selfless edifice will one day need a crowning glory and the history long domination will beg a tremendous compensation.
Why the hell sovereign future of girls lurks as a vexing question in every family? Hats off Nepalese for we are shouting to create our destiny by ourselves! We are pronouncing so vigorously for our autonomy in every aspect which is true to the spirit of times as well but what about the women autonomy? Will the day come when the ladies can determine their fate by themselves? On the one hand we talk about liberalism and on the other; still we are giving continuity to the timeworn dogmas. Hey, wake up virginity is not to do with sex, its do with your attitude and heart. So, quelling their boundless potentials in the name of sensitive sex is merely the reflection of this totalitarian society.
Everyone has got his own share of right thus is not supposed to interfere upon others after all no man can do more than fill his own lungs though atmosphere is forty miles deep all around the globe. So let’s not make this world the hell of crime. The revolution in fact is to be initiated within the family after all it is where the rights are violated at most. So, let’s make haste before these appalling discriminations have distilled a great misfortune. For sure, everything changes down the lane of time but we always have every role to accelerate the snail paced development invited by time. And how many times we persist blaming our politicians? Let’s not flinch at least from today and let’s remain aplomb enough for the lame excuses to affect us. To cap it all, let’s put our efforts together so that one day the humanity will breathe freer and the world will grow brighter. That day of course paradise will be around our way. The discrimination ultimately will have lacked even the faintest space to spoil this human habitat once and for all.
