Indus Valley Civilization is one of the oldest civilisations that flourished. Since then there were hundreds of kingdoms that ruled the peninsula for centuries. While women were considered spiritual in the ancient scriptures, if we look at Indian history, we can say that women were not treated on par with one. Their rights were denied.
Yes, indeed, the past was not in favour of the female gender. There were a lot of hurdles that we had to cross as women. The thought of being weak somewhere still exists in our world saying that women need support for everything.
People are not ready to accept the fact that the era of judgments, rejections, choices, and negligencs is stopped, we can say that it’s far better than it was before.
We now proudly say out loud that
Women are working
Women are choosing
Women are creating
Women are growing
However, every single day, women have to face challenges. And those challenges were difficult to face in past but now we have our voice and talent to face them. Boundaries still exist, but somehow women find a way to cross them and move forward. We can become whoever we want to
A teacher, a doctor, an engineer, singer, dancer, artist, astronaut, a professor even a President.
Those days we had the stereotype people who used to say that girls can’t do anything. But, times have changed. Today the same people who witnessed the success of a tribal girl Draupadi Murmu, who became the second women President of this country, know that the journey of Murmu was not laid with rose petals, rather it was filled with thorns.
Her journey from primary school teacher to the first citizen of India, is indeed a testimony to all out there that girls can do anything, if they work towards it.
People can stop us, they can block us, but we will find a way out. Fighting for equality has always been in our blood. So we will, and no one can say that women are not getting equality anymore. We are getting opportunities, chances, and platforms. We are moving forward, and we are growing.
Always talking about issues and problems has been the style of people, but now the voice will be heard louder and with much clarity to shout out our success. Both women and men are facing issues, but the highlighted one is women. We don’t want that anymore.
We WOMEN know what to do, we WOMEN know what we deserve to get, and we WOMEN know how to take care of ourselves. We may be weak sometimes, but that time a little push and realisation are enough for us to stand up and run towards what we want to achieve.
As quoted by Oprah Winfrey,
“On my own, I will just create, if it works, it works and if it doesn’t, I’ll create something else. I don’t have any limitations on what I think I could do or be.”
