International Woman's Year - The Indian woman doesn't need a bill to ensure her rights!

Today’s being celebrated as the ‘International Woman’s Day’. The government has tabled the bill for 331/3% reservation of parliament’s seats for women in the Rajya Sabha, today. The resultant commotion and brouhaha, enacted by the bill’s opponents within the haloed interiors showed our democracy at its nadir, yet again. There are too many elderly MPs who should have retired long ago and I was under the impression that they’d overwhelmingly pass the bill, so that they could bring in their wives, daughters and daughters-in-law and continue to wield real power from the sidelines, especially against the backdrop of the surge in youth power! Anyways, that’s not my point of contention at this juncture as I would like to concentrate on the core issue.
Do we really require to celebrate ‘woman power’ on a single day? If yes, do we have the liberty to abuse them for the remaining 364 days? And what are we achieving by tom- tomming the strength of the woman, by wasting reams of newsprint and cluttering the visual media with wasteful discussions for this one singular day? This is because, in this country, the woman has always exhibited that she’s stronger than the man and has proved time and again that she’s central to the growth and enlightenment of the country -female infanticides and bride burning notwithstanding! Be it the woman since the time of the Vedas and the Upanishads or during the medieval periods or even during the British rule or to this day, the Indian woman has always shown a remarkable amount of resilience and have contributed their mite to this country’s evolution.
The politicians might eventually succeed in bringing about a bill, to save their face but the Indian woman does not really require a bill to ensure their rights at par with her male counterpart! And that is the core issue!!
