Stree Shakti-Happy Women's Day

                                               Lust cannot live near devotion

                                               Nor devotion near lust’s sight

                                              These two never coexist

                                                             The sun and gloom of night 
                                                                                                       -Kabirdas

Women form the lifeline of any society. They breathe  emotions of love ,affection and compassion into life.They are tolerant and  form the more sacrificial counterparts.

Any society's state is reflected by the condition of its women, the better the condition of women the better is the society.

Half of the population of women in India would be seen  singing bhajans and worshipping god and goddess,-they are devotional. The other half would be seen preparing business plans meeting deadlines,-they are professional. This represents a division between an devotional Indian women and an aspirational Indian women. The former an ideal 19^th century women worshipping parent ,Pati is parmeshwar and 'I have to look after my children'-a householder.The latter ,a 21^st century women ,where husband is hot and children are cool.-and 'I have to get the contract and deal signed before anyone else does' -An aspirational independent women.

The diference can be reflected in the  huge no of women attending in the pandals of a Devi Chitraleka or a Morari bapu and the other we see  in the boardrooms of a ICICI bank  or a PEPSI CO. group making professional commitments and deadlines.

Whoever be the women be it the 19^th century or the 21^st century ,a women has to be protected the  mother,the wife and the daughter.

The government on its part seems to be on the right track,launching welfare measures for its women safety and women empowerment by providing easy loans.The scriptures say ,that the strength of the King lies in the criminal code and the attention of the weak and of women

On the ocassion of international women’s day ,celebrating womenhood in the society ,be it an Irom sharmila or a Mamta banerjee or a simple householder.
