Silence - Societal filth

"Silence

Shh…

You are a woman of grace, You are a woman of endurance, You are a woman of honour, You are woman of courage, You are woman of silence;

You are the Goddess, You are the mother, You are the sister, You are the daughter, You are the friend, You are the aunt, You are the mother in law, You are the daughter in law;

Your presence is incontestable in every metier. You played your duties as a queen, an astronaut, a doctor, a rider, a driver, a teacher, a conductor, an actor, a lawyer, a police officer, a constable, an administrator, a homemaker etc. 

Living in one of the biggest democratic countries India, and 80 percent of this second largest populated country worships Goddess yet she was, she is and in modern India of equality still considered to be Burden. 

Though many will disagree, but A woman is a Burden the moment she is called ‘ Paraya Dhan’ meaning others property. She is already tagged a property or thing not a living being. The day a girl child is born, the applaud and wishes says, ‘Laxmi AAYI hai Badhai Ho’ meaning Goddess Laxmi has come , congratulations! But this reflection towards her birth and living is not treated with the same perspective in the long run- Reason, instead of planning for her education and career, most of the Indian parents start planning to save in Gold jewellery or other funds until she is ready for the next Big step of her life ‘Marriage’."
