A day in the life of an Indian woman..

Somewhere, a girl is walking with naked feet down the Thar desert to fetch water for her family.
She has to carry back the water-filled vessels trying to spill least quantity.
& remember, naked feet in the desert for at least 2 kms & back again...

Somewhere, a woman is tortured every single day after her marriage because her family was not able to give the demanded dowry to the groom side...

Somewhere, a working mother has to complete all her chores & manage the joint family's lunch before she leaves for work at 9.
When she comes back,she has to look after her home-kids,husband,in-laws,dinner.
Next day, work again...

Somewhere, an old woman is sweeping the house of a rich family.
She is sick but hunger is more important than medicines...

Somewhere, the maid is helpless for the fact that she has to give her earnings to her drunkard husband & is unable to pay her child's meagre fee.
Because, if she wouldn't give then her husband might beat her up...

Somewhere, a bar girl is worried that if the bars are banned,then how will she earn...

Somewhere, in Rajasthan, a woman will have to live a life of loneliness & dejection because her husband just died...

Somewhere, a woman doesn't know whether she should feel happy or sad that husband died fighting for the motherland.
Happy because he died a martyr & sad because he died without seeing their unborn child...

Somewhere, an old mother doesn't know on who's shoulder to cry.
Her son is leaving her in an old-age home...

Somewhere....

This is something really highlighting the reality faced by our nation.....
Be it Prathibha Patil, Sudha Murthy ,Shobha Dey,Aishwarya Rai,Sania Mirza these are just fake flowers shining on our pitcher plant called India......
This is what is happening inside real INDIA and is increasing day by day if it isn't stopped things will really end up country where women are suffering at all levels of society.....
And I guess these things are not at all covered by disgusted news channels.....If covered it is made more of MASALA story so that it can run their market.....
The insanity of the people is inclining and will compel women to do the things they are forced by the demented surrounding.....
Blaming it on fate or NASEEB of bar girl or women in old age home will not make the sense....
This has to be stopped any how...
We all need to wipe this mentality of desire and money....
At least someone is making a small effort by highlighting them their BLOG....
Hope the readers will get the thought of author and push them to
think profoundly....
Thats all I can say..........
