Discrimination is still prevalent
The word “modernization” – has it had any effect on the condition of Indian women? Yes, nowadays women are financially independent, they are wearing modern clothes, they are traveling alone – but is this enough?
Everybody is aware of the pathetic condition of Indian women in villages, hence in this article, we would basically focus on urban women. Let us view their journey from the day they are born. It is a great relief to see that the birth of a girl child is not considered a sin in most of the urban families. There are many men, who want to have a daughter. The paternal grandparents also accept the birth of their first granddaughter happily and at the same time, pray to God that next time, their son should be blessed with a boy! If next time also their son has a baby girl – outwardly they may show to the world that they are proud grandparents of two girls, but internally they would always lament and wish that their son should have had a boy as his second child and that now their family linage would end and there would be nobody to take their family name forward.
Complexion and features of a girl child really matters in a country like India. Girls with fair skin are always given preference. Mothers encourage their daughters to use fairness creams from an early age. If an Aunt or Uncle’s daughter is fairer - then the poor girl has had it. She would be forced to use face packs, home remedies would be suggested from all the ends just to make her look fairer. Why don’t we realize that most of our Indian girls who have become Miss Universe / Miss World have a wheatish complexion. Look at Sushmita Sen, Dyna Hyden, Priyanka Chopra. Do they have fair skin – No – but are they famous – Yes indeed they are.
Education of a girl child in urban India is no doubt considered very important and most of the parents want that their daughters to complete their studies, be well employed and then only get married. But here also discrimination is prevalent. 60% of the parents want their daughters to study in Girls College. How come these parents don’t think of sending their sons to Boys College only? If a girl wants to go in for some professional studies – for instance if she wants to become a doctor or an engineer or wants to do MBA, parents normally put this condition that she should get admission in the city in which they are living and that they are not willing to send their daughters to other cities for studies. But see the irony these very parents have no issues in sending their sons not only to other cities but also abroad for studies and they even shamelessly boast in front of their relatives and friends that their sons are studying abroad! I agree that some parents are concerned about the safety of their daughters and hence don’t want them to go alone to another city. But there are many hypocrite parents who feel that their daughters would get spoilt if they were sent alone! Can any one please tell me why these parents don’t feel that way for their sons? Or is it that in this country, boys are allowed to get spoilt but girls have to be disciplined?!
Pub culture has become quite popular in most of the Metropolitan cities of India. Girls and boys go there, have a few drinks, dance and enjoy themselves. But 80% of the girls who visit these pubs, do so without the knowledge of their parents. They make excuses and go to these pubs. Why? The reason is that no matter how modern we may call ourselves, the fact remains that we always look down at those girls who drink and smoke in our society. We tend to raise a finger at their upbringing. But why don’t we do so in case of boys? When marriages are fixed, if boy drinks/smokes occasionally, it is considered a normal thing, as he is a man. But if a girl says that she drinks/smokes occasionally, many eyebrows are raised, why?
Marriage is considered to be a very sacred institution in India. There are two types of marriages in India - Arranged marriages and Love marriages. In the case of arranged marriages, the bride is expected to be perfect. She should know cooking, should be educated, homely, simple, loving, and the list goes on and on. Many in-laws expect that the daughter in law should be a working woman and should know household work as well. Once the daughter in law enters the house, she is expected to take the burden of the entire household work on her shoulders but she is not given the power to take the decisions. If she is going to be late in office or if she has got some official party, the husband expects her to seek his permission. But does the husband do the same? If the wife has some delegation in office and is getting delayed at her work place, the husband raises his eyebrows, but the husband has full liberty to come late at home giving the pretext of having false delegations in office. Why? A girl is expected to come back home straight from work, if at times she wants to visit her friends after her office hours, she is subject to so many taunts by her husband and his family. But why doesn’t this rule apply to a man? Why does he have all the freedom in the world even after marriage? So many restrictions are put on the girl for visiting her parents but in the case of a boy – he lives with his parents only and expects his wife to adjust with them, no matter how unbearable it may be for her. If a girl, who is non-vegetarian, marries a vegetarian boy, she is expected to become vegetarian with him but why is it not vice versa?
Love marriage is also not a bed of roses. If the couple stays alone, then hundreds of fingers are pointed at the girl and she is held responsible for separating her husband from a family. But why doesn’t the society realize the girl is also away from her parents so what is the big deal if the boy is staying away from his parents? If the couple stays with the family then the poor girl is really scrutinized very severely by the parents of the boy so that somewhere they could find fault with the girl and once they succeed, they leave no stone unturned to poison the boy’s mind against his wife. Infact this particular thing of poisoning the boy’s mind against his wife happens in arranged marriages also. Somehow the boy’s parents can never digest the fact that their son is now married and he has to give quality time to his wife. They want to keep him to themselves only. A wife is expected to be devoted to her husband. Her first priority has to be the husband, then why is it that it is not so for the boy? A girl also is attached to her parents and lives for her parents before marriage. But after marriage her priorities change. Her husband takes the first place then why doesn’t a wife take the first place in her husband’s life? Why is it that thousands of fingers are raised at the girl if her husband is all for her?
These days most of the young couples are working. Many women are getting equal salary as their husbands. But why is it that the burden of household work falls entirely on the women? They are expected to excel in office as well as manage the household work simultaneously. Why don’t the husbands help in the household work? After all, the wives also get up in the morning, go to work and are tired by the time they come home. If both husband and wife share the household work, life would become much easier. But no, men wont do that. If 20% of the men decide to help their wives in the kitchen, several questions are raised by the husband’s family and the neighbours. Why is it so?
Most of the men are really concerned about the virginity of their wives. The husband always wants that he should be the first to touch her. If on the first night, the husband discovers that his wife is not a virgin, then a havoc is created. Why? Is there an unwritten rule in India that the women necessarily have to be virgins when they get married but the men can enjoy themselves before marriage also? Why only before marriage, 70% of the men are unfaithful to their wives. They tend to have extra-marital affairs. The wives are expected to be totally loyal to her husband, while the men can do whatever they want! If by chance, a wife is caught in an extra-marital affair by her husband, she is immediately turned out of the house, while if a husband is found cheating his wife, she is expected by the society to forgive him and save her marriage. Why these double-standards?
Another very peculiar thing which I have noticed is that if a woman takes care of her husband, loves him, she is called a devoted wife and the society expects a woman to be totally dedicated to her husband, while on the other hand, if a husband takes care of his wife and loves her, he is termed as a “Joru ka Gulam” and is mocked at by the society. Why? I believe that marriage is like a cart whose wheels are husband and wife and they have to put equal effort to make the cart go ahead. But how is that a woman in India gives her 100% to her marriage while a husband does not even give 10%!
