In our Indian society, these days it is claimed that female are independent and equivalent to men
But my question is really simple
Are we really independent?
Even for one day can a married girl skip to cook at least one meal of the day?
Can she have an unplanned trip with her friends for one whole day ?
Can she be not judged for not attending any function and rather choose to be at home doing nothing without giving any fake excuses to her in-laws?
Can she walk out of door when guests arrive?
Can she tell her husband to stay in a separate house from his parents?
Can she not accept someone s parents as her own post marriage?
Can she call her in-laws as uncle aunty rather than “mom dad” because the fact remaining the same they are not her parents.
Independence not only means to be free of responsibilities but it is to treat an human being independent of his/her her gender.
I agree even men would have such list of things that don’t want to tied into
But my motive is to bring light to the facts that are being ignored
Still there are many grey areas where women are still tied up by the old laws of Indian society
Still the revolution of making an independent is not yet achieved completely
Still the Indian men should be brought up in such manner that he is tough cooking and cleaning as his basic habits and still the society need to learn that born with a uterus doesn’t mean they are by default made to cook and clean and take care of house.
