ROLE OF WOMEN IN NATION BUILDING
“There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing.”
“woman is the builder and moulder of a nation’s destiny, though delicate and soft as lily, she has a heart, stronger and bolder than that of man, she is the supreme inspiration for man’s onward march.”
Women constitute approximately 40% population of a nation. If she is given the task for the development of the country she can make a wonder. She is more dedicated , more hard working, more sincere, more devoted to the cause. Many social evils like; dowry, illiteracy among the females, killing of girl child in the womb, ignoring the hygienic values, police etc. can well be tackled by the active involvement of women.
Today the educated women have come out of their inferiority complex and are shouldering all kinds of responsibilities, as Managers, officers, TV and radio news reader, pilots, Ministers, Anchors, Musicians, Clerks, Stenographers, and what not? There are veteran MPs and Ministers in the centre and the State, Ms. Mayamati, Ms. Jayalalitha, Mrs. Sushma Swaraj, Ms. Mamta Bannerjee, Mrs. Rabri Devi, Uma Bharti, Mrs. Vijaya Raje Scindhiya have proved to be the astute Politicans.
“Rightly” said by Dr. Rajendra Prasad, “our women have a very great part to play in the progress of our country as the mental and physical contact of women with life is much more lasting and comprehensive than that of men.”
