Gender Equality in India.

Nature has divided human race between men and women, but their status and role in society are determined by our culture. No culture or society treats it's women as like men. In patriarchal societies women have always experienced injustice, tyranny and inequality. According to the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights, all the persons irrespective of their gender, sex, religion, ethnicity, caste they have been given equal rights and freedom. All humans are born free. No man is superior or inferior towards one another.

In patriarchal societies, women's role is limited to the household work. There are not allowed to study more and go to work. They do not have rights to marry and divorce as per their wish. Their role is just to get married, have children, and take care of the family. Even today some Indian men don't want to marry very educated and working women. Till early 2005 Hindu women had no equal rights in the ancestral property of the parents.

According to the Article 14 of the constitution, there is equality before law and equal protection of law. As per article 15 of the constitution, discrimination on the ground of religion, caste, ethnicity, language, age, gender is provided. As per article 21 of the constitution, everyone has a right to dignified life.

Women are also powerful and capable as like men. So it would not be good to ask women just to stay at home and do household work. Society and other people should not take anyone's natural rights given them by nature. Everyone has equal rights, freedom and right to justice.

Letter from a Birmingham Jail

Martin Luther King Jr. 16 April 1963 My Dear Fellow Clergymen: While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling my present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would have little time for anything other than such correspondence in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I want to try to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms. I think I should indicate why I am here in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the view which argues against "outsiders coming in." I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every southern state, with headquarters in ...
