Women struggling hard for their empowerment

Recently,I was reading the newspaper article in which one word struck deeply in my mind women are considered as the subject of "objectification" in this globalised world. I start wondering that how woman can be  considered as "object". After thinking and thinking I came with the conclusion yes in this globalised world woman are considered as the Object. Take the example, while launching a new car you will see woman model are standing behind and posing for that brand. In every corporate house a beautiful lady is there to welcome you at the reception, this is the objectification which shows our method has changed but that mentality and old customary thought  "patriarchial" form of society still existing in our society but now a days it is there in a sophisticated manner.

Empowerment means empowering someone socially, politically, economically, emotionally, and most important is  educationally. In India today we observe and notices that in every competitive exam, women are doing excellent, their sucess rate is far better than boys. They are touching the zenith of sucess and changing the scenerio of old indian mentality that consider woman are subject to be house wifes they look beautiful in the kitchen doing breast feading to their children and cutting vegetables instead of sitting in Ofiice and working with files.
But today the situation has changed and girls are coming with fantastic performance in comaparison with boys in the premier institution of India. At one part we can see the change in the mentality of people who are promoting their girl child, providing them all means for a better education and empowerment On the other hand still in Rural India people consider the birth of girl child in the family as a sin.
Sometime even girl is not indulge in love affairs but their name has been hyped and attached with someone. In that condition their parents in sake of their Honour, force their daughter to leave the eduaction and sit in the house beacuse they worry for their self Honour and not for the EMPOWERMENT of their girl child. Instead of finding the real truth and punishing that boy, that girl is punished by leaving her education. So where is the change in the society it looks contradictory for this 21st century.
Domestic Violance is common with house wife because those poor ladies are legally illiterate their husband and their family members torture and physically exploit them. Dowry death is still in the society. Female foeticide is at large in the state like Haryana, Rajasthan and Bihar. So, to curb these atrocities against the women the role of State Woman Right Comission should be increased and government should promote awareness in those rural areas where people still living in the 15th and 16th century. Today women should be seen with respect not because they are weak but because they are your sister, mother, and wife and they deserve respect by their great act by performing well in differeni dimensions of life. They work hard and do their every work dilligently and properly to achieve their end goal effectively.
Therfore our old traditional menatlity should be changed and new should be adopted by every Indian then women empoerment in real sense will take palce and instead of Tulsidas saying from ramcharitmanas 'Dhol Gawar Shudra Pasu NARI sakal tarna ke adhikari' we will say and whole socity will say
"Chardiwari thi teri sima kal tak,
Aaj antriksh se lekar uttari dhruv tak mahilaye pahuch rahin hai...
Apne parishrama aur baudhik kshamta se,
Bramahand pe jake etihas badal rahi hai...
Nari tum ho shraddha ki rup,
Jeevan sundar jiya karo,
Amrit hai tera srota,
Piyush ban kar baha karo..
Jeevan sundar jiya karo"- ABHINAV KUMAR
