Women Power.....

Women - one says if a women is always there behind a men's success. There are volumes and volumes of pages in history where one can come across women of such high morality and character that it seems that men have always been second best by a long distance.

History pages are full of instances that has shown us again and again that women has been an integral part of humankind since its existence. Women have always been more liberated than they believe since early years. Women have been given equal rights as far as we can see or go back in to the history.

During cave age, the men were only entrusted with hunting, while all the other duties were looked after by women. There also instances where kings and rulers would take advice from their respective queens in lots of matters, where the princess were free to choose their own husband through a ritual which we all know as 'Swayamwar' in which the suitors had to prove their worthiness and there are also instances where queens have taken over from their dead husbands and have fought with their enemies matching shoulder to shoulder with their army. People of India and matter of fact even people from other countries worship Goddess and this clearly proves that women were deemed so powerful that people worshipped them as divine power and sought their blessings. Nature and God has shown us in many ways that women is all powerful and even if you see in an insect kingdom the most powerful are queen bee, queen ant and where female spiders are more powerful and bigger then the male spiders.

Even in a game of chess that was probably invented in India around 6th century, the queen is shown to be the most powerful as compared to the king and one could assume or interpret that women were deemed to be much more than their counterparts during that era.

So if the women were free and liberal since early ages and was accepted by men of the older generations, then why the men of so called modern era or newer generation looks to suppress a women and not treat her as equal. Also, you all women out there trust yourself and take confidence from your genders past history - you don't have to fight for your freedom or liberation or equal rights, you were always liberated, free and equal.....

Are We Proud Of Our Modern World???

The time has really come for each one of us to really ask ourselves about how happy we are with the events happening around the world. Wherever we see, we can only see many levels of oppression on different levels. It does not matter if a person is leaving in a slum or high-rise, it does not matter whether the person is a businessman or a laborer, they all must have faced oppression at some time or other.

It is said and most of us are led to believe that we are leaving in a modern world and enjoy lot of democracy and freedom, where in we have a say in the world affairs, but if we really think hard we don't even have freedom in choosing the knowledge that we give our children.

Today, we stay in a modern world and should have a matured outlook towards life in general, but what is happening is that slowly but surely we are turning back the time and going to dark ages. In today's world the thinkers are assassinated, writers are considered infidels, books are burnt, silence is forced by gagging your mouth, thoughts are forbidden and to question is a cardinal sin.

Is this really a modern world that was envisaged by all of us and proud of? I am sure most of you must have answered in the negative, this world that we have today seems like the same one that we read and learned in our history books and instead of learning from mistakes made in past, we are standing in silence and prefer to see the same mistakes being repeated....
