INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
It makes me wonder what to write about #Women on International
Women’s Day, the ones about whom the History has been written, time &
again.
Ever since centuries and ages in time, the significant
events or happenings, invariably saw the women at the centre stage, playing the
most pivotal role, culminating eventually to create History.
The most popular epics in Indian mythological scene are
“Ramayana” & “Mahabharata”, roots their emergence mostly based on the
powerful virtues & strong characters
of “Ma Sita” “Draupadi”,
“Mandodari”, and so on…
We talk about Ghosha, Lopamudra, Maitreyi, Gargi of Vedic
age (almost 3000 years and before); were the women with substance, immense
intellect, knowledge & wisdom.
If we take into account the recent History of 19th
& 20th Century India, we have,
Rani Lakshmibai, who led the
revolt against the British, better known as warrior queen;
Kittur Chnnanmma,
who rebelled against East India Company;
Savitribai Phule, an activist who
started first school for women;
Sarojini Naidu, an activist and a poet,
popularly known as Nightingale of India;
Captain Prem Mathur, the first woman
pilot in India,
Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, the first woman and the first Indian
President of United Nations General assembly
and the list goes on….
Even today, whether in Politics or Sports, Business or
Economics, a Home-Maker or a Corporate Head, women have been cruising strongly
in all departments, at home or away.
With extreme ease and adaptability, they can and have enacted
various roles of life with excellence.
Just a couple of days back, news was aired on a TV Channel
that India has the highest percentage of women pilot in the world, near to 12%
(1200 in figures).
And such a news becomes all the more important, as because, especially in the country
like India, where still the dogmatic customs & traditions are being
practised, which deprives the women of their rights to exercise their skills,
talents & knowledge for their own growth as well as that of the Nation.
So, when we talk about the celebration of International
Women’s Day and it’s importance, it’s actually meant to and is supposed to
highlight and emphasise the contribution of women all throughout since time
immemorial.
They are & they have always been celebrities.
It’s virtually impossible for any system to operate to an optimum
performance with required efficiency, unless ably supported by women as one of
the important catalysts, may it be leading from the front or behind the
curtains holding the pillars strong.
Men are generally known to make powerful business decisions.
But, I
have seen many of them, thrive on the wisdom of their better halves to march
ahead.
And quite astonishingly the wisdom the women possess is purely based on the
simplicity with which they look towards a problem or a situation.
In today’s time of super paced age, women are emerging and
leading from all the frontiers, matching pace with the changing times at the
speed of thought, with much stronger will & execution.
Here I do not intend to undermine anybody’s
integrity or pampering with gender biased-ness, but, the fact remains a fact.
I
am sure many of my male friends shall agree with me, that implementing thoughts & power of execution, is what females are best at.
As our Prime Minister Shri Narendra Mody says, that the
focus is now not on “Women development”, but it’s more on “Women led
development”, is undoubtedly a worthy statement.
We all need to grow beyond our perspectives to actually
understand that it’s a foolish exercise to talk about gender in-equality any more.
At the same time it's very important and a must that a man and a woman always complement each other, as both of them possess the virtues of strengths & weaknesses of the other partner, within their own psychology.
So when one can develop a perspective about the other and his/her situation, then to move together becomes easy & smooth.
So when one can develop a perspective about the other and his/her situation, then to move together becomes easy & smooth.
I would not miss to mention here, that I am blessed with
wonderful friends in women, who have been playing an extra-ordinary role in my
life, helping me to evolve and strengthen my intrinsic traits, to
keep growing in my journey through life.
This write-up is an effort to salute & to bow in
reverence to all the women in the world, without whom the words “life” and
“living”, doesn’t hold any significance.
The Women and their extra-ordinary contribution since ages
have always been celebrated, and today, we continue & vow to emphasize as a
part of our moral duty to put an effort to honour their presence, their work,
their existence.
