यूँ तो हम इकिस्वि सदी के "मॉडर्न" लोग हैं| मगर इस मॉडर्न अथवा आधुनिक मनुष्य की सोच किसी आदिकाल के आदिमानव से कम नही | जहाँ एक तरफ देश व दुनिया प्रगति के मार्ग पर है, वही दूसरी तरफ कुछ पितृसत्ता से प्रभावित लोग औरतों को किसी वस्तु के साथ तौलने से नही कतराते |   यह सब सहसा शुरु हुआ  उसने उसकी आँखों में देखा पलके झुकाई, ज़रा मुस्कुराइ,  फिर ज़रा शर्माई ||  प्यार का सफर, उन्होंने संग किया तय  आशा थी की वे आनंद के आकाश में ऊँचे उड़ चले,  प्यार की नदी को खुशियो की तैराकी से पार करे,  एक दूसरे के लिए बारिश में धूप ले आये,  दर्द के काँटों में फूल की बरसात कर पाए||  तूने ये छोटे कपड़े क्यू पहने है,  ये फोन में नंबर किसका है,  इधर मत जाना, उससे बात मत करना,  ए आईना बता इसे, इसका तराजू में क्या तौल है, क्या ये बहुत मोटी है, या कुछ ज्यादा ही तिनके के समान है,  स्नेह जैसे पावन भाव को, उसने तो जिस्म से आंक लिया उस गहरे समुद्र का पानी , फिर छलक के बाहर गिरा,  वह तो चिड़िया थी खुले आसमां की,  बंदिशों मे कहाँ आने वाली...

India has been portrayed to be an extremely regressive society when it comes to women status, rights and conditions. When we look around the globe we find people getting disappointed on the  birth of a female or kill her before the birth in a mother's womb. The major reason for this all is "Dowry". Yes, you read it right. According to Indian National Crime Bureau report, one woman dies every ninety minutes only due to dowry.  I would like to throw light on the fact that we have been told altered narratives about the history of dowry system and it's link with India.

So, our historians skipped to tell us that dowry was never a indian custom. It was brought to India by the British. No doubt there was a custom in India, po...

A pretty princess, adorable doll and sweet miss this is how we try and grow a girl child, right? Someone who is expected to be soft-spoken, who's taught to be well-versed in household chores and forced to be dominated by men. If I ask a male child to perform all these "so-called" duties of a girl child or if he is expected to take the commands of a female then? Our nation is developing but in the domain of female standards it's still a century back.  In the present scenerio, every second gives rise to a new invention, each minute welcomes a new throne of politicians and several hours wait for a new success to come. However, it's disheartening how since childhood it's taught to the immature minds of the young that the status of men is more than that of women. It's mentioned nowhere who will run a house or who will go outside and earn the living of the family or who will fly an aeroplane or who will wash the utensils or who will take decisions o...
