Indian Women: neglected housewives
Women when seen from the lens of child is 'Mom','Grand mother'. For a male teenager is also 'girlfriend' and finally for a grown up is 'wife'. But what is the difference right? When man seen through the lenses of women they do also play significant roles as 'father','grand father', 'boyfriend' and 'husband'. The main critical aspect of seeing through the men's lenses lies when we start counting the degree of ignorance of women. Degree of ignorance of women in every aspect is evident from the history of the world. One of the most common example is Women's suffrage in 1893 when for the first time in the history of world women were allowed to vote. One may argue that how does social life of women outside of home relate to the life inside the home? Relation between domestic and social life can be easily compared as the domination factor is the same in both the cases.
For the position of women socially one may see the difference in the status of women since 1893 as now even India has women in I.A.S. position and as CEO of leading businesses. But does it have made any difference in the domestic life of women? only 22.27% of women includes working force in India in 2011 [ Ministry of labour and employment ] and also we cannot assume that these 22.27% have fair conditions at home. Home is usually what man defines it as evident from the most bollywood movies with eldest man of the family occupying the central chair often regarded as chair of power. Although we have seen a radical change in the social context in position of women in the Indian society, we still require to scrutinize the condition of women as in real world.
