Quote: "women who dare say they 'exist"


Yes they do say that "they exists", but if you take the lady in context sad ending; my question here is "do women wear "rainbow galsses" before marriage that they are not aware the sad disparities in CASTES  system pan India ? Yet all that one Archana' wanted was to do "experiment" thinking one lady will change the Caste equation in India ?"

A Brahmin is upper caste from centuries in India and even Apex Court asked ECI to do seperate Caste Census on various castes and sub-castes in India and suggested ECI not to club with Census Results 2011, having said so does the Brahmin didnot get education to know that case disparity did exist in her own society to take such bold step and end up with sad ending? What she was trying to proove single handedly ?


Que. to you now:

1. Can you motivate some 80 K plus ld. LCI members here to disown there castes today and place there names as reply that they have disowned their castes so that henceforth a sterile society exists where next Archana can royaly co-exists ?


Yes, @ RG turn back and tell me to shutup and or take a walk........absolutely

oops "and or take a walk" is for me not for you

Renuka ji,

please write the story in 4/5 lines, by which we can understand the matter easily.

I read "Kahani Archana Kee" , a sad end.

Instead of ending her life she should have faced the hard reality and should fought boldly, which is not possible by all. 

This is story of an individual woman but reveals the facade of the double standards of patriarchal norms, it also make you to reflect how the construction of masculinity is so ingrained that it does not even let them introspect on why they behave how they behave with a woman, especially in marital relationship. If the reader reads the story connecting individual Archana to the larger social and cultural realities which defies the goal of gender equality due to the entrenched patriarchal norms, both life and  death of Archana would be interpreted as a site of resistance. 

The question is not women wearing rainbow glasses, the question here is how gender cuts across caste, as it cuts across class, ethnicity and religion. 

Some content edits

that it does not even let men ....

Both life and death of A would be interpreted as sites ....

The point here is not whether a man or a woman wear rainbow glasses which the story does not convey at all, the important point here is how gender cuts across....

1. The point I stressed is "was Archana wearing rainbow glasses and not men and women as being made out" !


2. The point I stressed as summery is "what a gender researcher initiative message is after publishing what we all know is prevalent in India" ?


3. The point to note for a "gender researcher is to provide solution to common masses and a societal message to follow by common man post digging common articles like these I see that missing " ?


4. The point now I am making here is that "even gender researchers wear rainbow glasses"
 

These are reasons why UN and other Nationa and International agencies have observed/remarked that the condition of females are worse than the slaves, since females are/become slave of a slave.

Plz. read "other Nationa" as 'other National". Thank u.

"why UN and other Nationa and International agencies have observed/remarked that the condition of females are worse than the slaves, since females are/become slave of a slave"

-  ..........UN and other Nationa and International agencies have observed/remarked that........- put where you got this? you are giving false information.

Renuka ji thanks for the story.

a story is story only. the author can twist it in any angle.

it should not mix with law and the real life.. thanks.

THOUSANDS OF MEN OPTING FOR SUICIDE DUE TO FALSE VICTIMISTAION UNDER BIASED LAWS. HARDLY ANYONE CARES. NO POLITICAL PARTY TALKS OF THEM AS THEY ARE NOT UNITED. MORE MEN ARE BURNT /KILLED BY GREEDY INLAWS THAN FEMALLES IN INDIA BUT WHO CARES. BEING A FEMINIST BRINGS U GLORY AND GIRLS. EVEN MEDIA IS BIASED IN NOT REPORTING GROOM BURNING/ GROOM MURDER BY WIFE/INLAWS/PARAMOUR  CASES.

WISH KALYUG WILL END SOON

EVEN MEDIA IS BIASED IN NOT REPORTING GROOM BURNING/ GROOM MURDER

AN ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

THANKS MR SWATIR FOR RAISING THIS BURNING ISSUE.

World Leaders Say Today's Subjugation of Women and Girls Worse Than Slave Trade

Tuesday August 25, 2009

What is "the world's most pervasive human rights violation"? According to Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, it is "the sustained degradation and subjugation of girls and women."

The two heads of state collaborated on a forceful commentary for the Huffington Post in which they draw parallels to the slave trade:

Today, well over 100 million are 'missing' because of increased mortality from inequality and neglect and the majority of the 2.4 million victims of human trafficking, which treats people as products, are female. In its numbers and scale, the systematic discrimination outstrips even the wholesale abuses of the 18th and 19th century slave trade, which we today deplore as an obscene example of inhumanity from another era.

They remind us that come this December, it will be 30 years since the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. Yet women and girls continue to be the victims of forced marriage, rape, genital mutilation, domestic abuse, human trafficking, and other nameless atrocities. Women in India trapped by circumstance do degrading work that puts their health at risk. Girls in Afghanistan trying to get an education have acid thrown on them on their way to school by men who don't want them to learn.

The global emancipation of women and girls will better all our lives. It's in our best interests to promote women's rights at home and abroad.

As Brown and Sirleaf point out in their closing argument:

It is impossible today to imagine that the slave trade could have been tolerated by the world for so long. So our duty is to deny future historians the opportunity to question how this generation allowed and participated in the abuse and suppression of girls and women.
