Educated Women and Contradictions in the Indian Society

A question that keeps arising now and then, with no definite answer is Why women whether of India or of any other part of the world, are still struggling to gain an equality status? Be it in home or at the workplace, the condition remains the same. Numerous effort are being made by various agencies to help them recognize their value and stand as a human being yet the achievements are still nothing to boast off. It becomes difficult to understand how under the cover of various reasons, the education of women goes neglected, the only true factor, by which the beginning of a change in the status of women can be thought of, in the society. Families still prefer to educate boys before they think of educating the girl and the same becomes the reason for high dropout rate for girls, from school. It is rightfully said, an educated woman can create a generation of educated and responsible citizens, yet it is a pity to see how we fall short in to gathering enough resources to educate the same women. A handsome husband and a bag full of dowry is not the only needs a girl has, she too has a self respect which when crushed doesn't give a fragrance but kills its essence.
