IT MAKES ME ANGRY WHEN
IT MAKES ME ANGRY WHEN……
Nehru Ji once said, “To awaken the people it is the women who must be awakened. Once she is on the move the family moves, the village moves, the nation moves.”
Good morning respected contest chair, judges, toastmaster and my fellow Gav. Today I am going to speak on the topic it makes me angry when……
WHEN I CHOOSE THIS TOPIC I WAS PONDERING WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES ME ANGRY… THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT HEART RENDERING INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED IN DELHI 2 YEARS AGO CAME IN MY MIND WITH A BLOW REMINDING ME THE PLIGHT OF AN INDIAN GIRL AND WOMAN.
Well you all remember that incident about THE girl in Delhi which shook many Indians especially women.
Alas she has been doomed, her honor maligned, her chastity and modesty outraged through incestuous means. Women have been the victims of exploitations since long time in different fields in their life both physically and mentally. India is developing very fast but women in India continue to be discriminated. Wifehood and motherhood were considered as women's most significant professions.
Women exploitation in the form of physical and mental torture on wives by husband is also common, mostly where women are simply a house wife and are not associated with any employment, they are compelled to keep their head down in a speechless manner tolerating the cruelty of their husband helplessly.
Another real fact is that, a new born baby girl is still considered as “burden” in much case and consequently they are treated with ignorance from childhood. When a male child is born everyone rejoices, but when a female child is born many seem dejected and crest-fallen, as if a tragedy has occurred. Socially, sons are preferred for continuation of family line, for looking after parents in their old age and for performing their last rites. Besides, poor parents of a daughter feel humiliated due to dowry demands when her marriage is to be settled. It is said that an “IAS officer’s dowry price is Rs.1 crore, and that of an

    India is in the centre of a very serious conflict in the world today. It is a very diverse place composed of people from many different religious backgrounds that come from many different regions. Two of the country’s main religions, Muslim and Hindu, have been fighting for hundreds of years for many different reasons. Their feelings of hatred and mistrust for each other are embedded in their memories and will not be forgotten easily. The worst part is there seems to be no initial plan for compromise between the two groups. Though there are many reasons for this conflict, only a few will be touched on. Those that will be touched on are the Islamic attacks on Indian Parliament, the anti-Muslim textbooks, and the Deganga Riots. These are all recent examples of the feud between these two religions and how they are not letting the past go. The Muslim-Hindu relationship is declining and there is no sign of letting up in the near future.…

    In the earlier days of March, 2010 there had be seen tensions between Australia and India escalate with yet another attack on an international Indian student. Although at the time it was too early to determine what happened, it was pretty simple to see that racism was involved and in an environment of increased violence.…

    Gendercide

    Mahatma Gandhi was one of the most influential people of the 20th Century, and impacted human history in a profound way. As a Hindu, he believed in the sacred nature of the cow and explained, “Cow protection…is not mere protection of the cow. It means protection of what lives and is helpless and weak in the world”; however, while protection of the cow has been a fundamental part of most of India’s beliefs, the protection of humans has lost its strength. In fact, cow protection has gone as far as being enforced by the laws of India, yet the societal structure in India and other countries has left human rights unprotected, going as far as murdering live individuals simply because they are a girl—and it isn’t just India. Both India and China experience an entire society in which girls are not valued, and are being murdered by the millions because of social traditions, and it needs to stop. The documentary, “It’s a Girl” provided substantial insight into this topic, and hopefully after reviewing facts and finding the source, we as a human race can find a solution.…

    Women's Role In America

    Women and men have always had opposing differences since the beginning of time. In this paper I am going to discuss the role of the women of India verses the role of women in America and I am going to tell you why I think the women of India are treated disgracefully. Female feticide, dowry deaths and domestic abuse offer a gruesome background of basic cruelty in India. In a typical society in India a person will find that there are still beliefs and traditions about women that are not relevant to the American woman, but instead are an inheritance from their brutal past. This is the case in traditional women, women of rural societies, and women of urban societies (Vidyut , 2007).…

    India from centuries has never welcomed the birth of daughter. Indian culture either treats woman as a goddess or an object, pretentiously as goddess but actually as an object. Daughters were never welcome as is evident from the blessings given by Rishis – “Ashta Putra Saubhagyavati Bhava” – “Be a Mother of 8 sons” – the blessing was never for 4 sons and 4 daughters.…

    “Cracking India” is a novel that is based on acts of violence that were being committed against people of all ages, genders and religions in India; this took place in 1947 during the Partition of India which separated Pakistan and India based on religion. Sexual objectification of women in Indian society began at a very early age for the women all the way up to adulthood. Women were not given their freedom because they lived in a society where they were not on the same level as men; Rape and sexual violation occurred heavily during this time. Men in power made decisions and then implemented the decisions with violence, which encompasses both power and gender. The idea of religious intolerance being fueled by the fear of Partition increased the tension.…

    No matter how much we deny it, the truth remains that the women of our society experience the same problems that the women in the Arab world do. One may argue and say that India is developing and moving forward and women are no longer treated as inferiors but is this really the case? Aren’t we forming our opinion based on how we, as individuals, are treated? Look at the millions of women in the villages. Those women face the cruelty of the male dominance till date. Female feticide, infanticide, premature marriages, honor killings, the practice of ‘sati’ are common sights in the villages of our country. One of the increasing atrocities against women is that of rape. Every single day tens of women in our country are raped and there is very little that the system is doing to protect the women against these crimes. It is nauseating to read about how brutally the women are treated for no fault of…

    Indian society is quite hypocritical in their treatment of women as people idolize female deities, but then victim blame women when they are attacked. Likewise, traditions cast women to be weak victims through traditions like securing “safety ties” around their brothers’ wrists as a symbol of protection. Women are expected to be submissive, feminine, and obedient to their husbands. Therefore, when Indian women break their prescribed gender role, they are deprived of the right to freedom and independence without…

    Women's Role In Hinduism

    • 1370 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Women 's position in Hinduism has always been unclear. Women were traditionally expected to serve their husbands and to have no autonomous interests. Because Hinduism comes from many different sources and traditions, Hindu sacred writings have many philosophical contradictions. On the one hand, some Hindu sacred writings, predominantly of the earlier period, gave immense value to women and were venerated as a symbol of the divine, on the other hand, other Hindu sacred writings discriminated women to incredible extremes. Women were treated as inferior beings. For example, long time ago, when a man died, his widow had to commit suicide by throwing herself on his funeral pyre. This was going on for long time until the colonial power (England) forbids it with strict laws. Another example is an old Hindu writing "(Manu 9.3) Her father protects (her) in childhood, her husband protects (her) in youth, and her sons protect (her) in old age; a woman is never fit for independence. "…
