NAARI (The first power)


 She is not allowed to wear clothes according to her wish.

She is called a slut if she dates more than one guy.

She might face acid attacks, death threats and morphing.

She is asked not to upload pictures in social media. Hope girls are not asked to wear hijab to make themselves safe from anyone clicking them.

She has over protective brothers. That brother has a girlfriend but if he finds his sister has a boyfriend he might do anything.

She is brainwashed that women are inferior to men.

She is married off without her consent.

She has to be a virgin.

She has to put up with sexism, pain, mental abuse, domestic violence, physical abuse, marital rape etc., just because she is a woman.

She is faulted for everything that is related to sexual abuse.

Nosy relatives ask “When are you going to say the good news?”

Acording to my experience Some woman do PG to escape from marriage.

Her mother taunts her saying “What will you do in your Mother-in-law’s house ?”

She is a good girl only if she is traditional, God fearing and a girl who wears saree and chudithar. If you are a female who talks about athiesm, feminism, gender equality and sex education, I’m sorry you are always a matter of talk among your fellow women who discuss serials and people.

now, I wanna talk other important topic which is skin color

I was playing in our garden when I saw our neighbour's daughter (who was almost of the same age as mine) watching me from the window. I called her and asked her to join me. She was reluctant and finally said that her mother would scold her if she played in the scorching sun as it would tan her skin more and no one was going to marry her. Imagine what poison they are inflicting in a little child's mind!

my observations on what it is like to be a dusky person in India.To be honest, it's hard, it lacks compassion, even more so if you are a girl. And the unfortunate part is the discrimination on the basis of skin colour is so deeply imbibed on our minds from early childhood, that we ourselves don't know how our words/behaviour is hurting someone in some way or the other.

Honestly!! I do not understand the mentality about only fair skinned girls considered beautiful/pretty.Even in most of the matrimony ads its clearly spelt out -"Looking for slim fair bride."Looks(especially fairness) is given a lot of importance than girls feelings.People here fail to understand that beauty is not tied to one being fair!! Its no wonder fairness creams have made their market here!!

as Indian, It took me a lot of refinement and rewiring of mind to understand and acknowledge that all skin colour is perfect. And now dark skin looks like a masterpiece to me.

hope and peace (:

  ‘ Burkha’ was originally an outfit worn by women in Arabia. The whole argument of Burka is a choice, mostly gained momentum in reaction to attacks on Islam and using Muslim women as a tool for the attack on Islam, this has ultimately lead numerous women to defend their faith in face of bigoted attacks. As Muslims became the new definition of the oppressed class for numerous social groups like SJW, human rights groups, and feminists, their tradition and traditional outfits gained more symbolic value than they originally had. That’s where the whole argument of Burka is a choice came from. Defending Burka became equivalent if defending Muslims in general, which is simply not correct, Muslim men should not be given a free pass on the fate of their women and should be allowed to oppress their women, because they are oppressed, Burka is not even central to Islam. Therefore its defense as a defense for Muslims, in general, is misplaced. It’s silly that the rights group fell for this tra...

―My heart is open and the entire universe follows into it It is in Buddhism first that man is attributed with all the ideals of man. Buddhadeva freed mankind from the notion of a separate entity as a god, from the ritualistic imposition of sermons of Śāstras, from the performance of rites of yajñas. Naturally, his followers made him a god. Later on, we find that the Christians made Christ a god. Tagore‘s belief is that the essential values of Buddhism has been surcharged in the mankind of all religions.   In the book, Dharma Tagore has referred to Ashok the Great, who ruled India not by his monarchical power but under selfless love for mankind as a whole. He learned this selflessness from his sincere devotion to Buddha. According to Tagore, Buddhism is neither confined to Hῑnayāna nor restricted to Mahāyāna. Buddhism, in the true sense, is prevalent in humanity in man‘s endeavor for wisdom, man‘s natural urge for love, and man‘s active energy for labor The mind is before relig...
