Is it appropriate to impose too many restrictions on Indian women? |

It is quite evident that India is marching ahead towards development in various areas and she (India) is proud to have produced various strong women (strong physically as well as psychologically) in the past and present days as well. Our women have proved themselves to be very efficient in almost all fields and are emerging greater heights in our society. But yet there are certain restrictions being imposed on our Indian women. Is it appropriate to impose such restrictions on Indian women or do we need to think high in terms of development? For instance, is cooking confined only to women? In developed countries it is not so. A woman in our society should have the freedom of thought and expression as well. Unfortunately many women in our society are not given a chance to express themselves freely but are being suppressed. Why can't a woman in our society live without any restrictions being imposed on her?

It is quite right that we have imposed so many restrictions on women. Khap panchayat makes some restrictions like girls will not use mobile phones and not to permission to cross the home boundary. They have to live between the walls. A boy granted permission to go anywhere simply but in a girl case, she has to make so many efforts for this in city area. Women security could be the reason for these inappropriate restrictions in cities. Some conditions are same in villages and cities that when a girl gets married, there burden of duties has come on his shoulder and she started to bear it with smile. She forgets her dreams and no one never ask her for it.

Our Indian society is meant strongly for men if you go through history. The rules and other things are more to comfort men than compare to women. From the time of our struggle for independent country India, it was not only men but women too stand along with men to fight out British from India. Then why there is biased thinking?
Actually our basic thinking is a man who looks after outside work and family need by doing job and a woman who look after house and family with arranging house hold work. We simply cannot deny that, its woman who called heart of a family and holds everyone together. Without their support man can't do much. But this does not mean that restriction should be imposed on her.
I think we man should throw out our ego and start thinking of a fresh start.

@ Nikhil Saini, it is really surprising to know from your response that in some areas of our country are restricted to use even the mobile phones. This sounds quite strange.

Well not only among illiterates but in educated circles also restrictions are imposed on girls and women. India labelled as the fast developing nation still not treating its women same equal as men. Well restricting women alone is not good educated people should avoid it. In present advanced world women also equally performing well in all fields in compare with men. But still due to superstitions and religious beliefs we obverses the association of restriction on women. Society, Laws Governments and the mentalities of citizens should changed in order to up-lift the restriction on women and it may not be possible in a single day lots of struggle is needed.
There are some things that money just cannot buy, like manners, morals and intelligence.

Ms. Kalyani, the situation of women is different in different situation, its not same in poor family, middle class family and rich family. If you see the rich family this tradition for cooking is long gone and even in the middle class is already lifted. The problem is only there in lower middle class and lower class and in that families even males are suffering for being carrying extra burden to survival of themselves and their family. The situation of women can increase with the uplift in society financially and educationally. Before washing dishes was use to a common stuff for any women but now most of the families have a domestic help for this purpose. We need to improve our lives financially and then everything else will be changed accordingly.

@Farid Akhtar, I appreciate your response. However, I would like to mention that I have just quoted an example of cooking to show the restriction being imposed in our society. And I think such restrictions on women are not only being imposed on the women belonging to the lower middle classes but these are being imposed on the women of the elite society as well.
