    A discussion about feminism made me think about it in depth . Many types of unwanted practices like sathi, child marriage of girls and female illeteracy was all abolished by men . Many women empowerment related poems were written by men . Swami Vivekanandha Subramaniya Bharathi, Raja Ram Mohan Roy are all great men who stood for women rights. Women empowerment according to them is that women get good education and make them fit to face the world. Education should be such that it will make a human being a good decision maker and a good leader. They wanted boys and also girls to get that education. So let the world become a place of valuable education like they all dreamt.

    Dear Sindhu,
    Along with education broadmindedness is also needed. There are lot of educated people who still do not give freedom to their better half.

    Education should be to inculcate briadmindedness in both men and women. Along with studies , value education has to be given . But we need to wait for the day. That is the problem

    Good that all men are not MCPS.As you rightly said Poet Bharathi espoused the cause of women and advocated greater rights for women and their education.He condemned the SHASTRAS THAT SUPPRESSED WOMENS RIGHTS.
    "Nimirntha nannenjum naer konda paarvayum
    nilathil yarukkum anjaatha nerigalum
    Thimirnthagnanach cherrukkum irupadhaal
    Semmai maadhargal thirambuathillaiyam"
    [with upright heart and steadfast look aand ideals that are not afraid of any one in the world-the woman does not falter as she has the possession of wisdom]
    Thanks for taking me to my debating days in the college.

    Thanks and true. People who wanted women empowerment were all men. Hope such great human beings in both genders come in this world.

    Dear Sindhu,

    Even today, many men stand up for women in the society even though the society continues to be patriarchal. Some politicians and others outside of the political parties set a bad precedence by having multiple extra-marital relationships and claim fame only by their ability to govern. In my view, the real men should prove themselves by demonstrating exemplary character and when they do, they will set an example for many other men.

    It is a shame to see men trying to touch unknown women traveling by public transport, aged men trying to molest young girls creating permanent scar in their psychological well-being, misbehavior with maids by men living in rich families, foreigners visiting India being treated badly, etc. That is not the true culture and heritage India had for centuries. Traditionally, women has been revered by righteous men and when occasionally men like Ravana or Duryodhana come by, they are eliminated with the divine intervention.

    I wish violating men study more about the culture and heritage of India and learn a lesson or two. India has the unique culture of women addressing other men as brother or uncle depending on the age and men addressing other women as sister or mother. I wish India get back to its roots.

    Viswa

    Mere formal education does not help . Wecan see that some very well educated people can also be narrow minded . It needs a total personality change . Must be ingrained in child'smind through good examples to watch and follow.

    Man and woman both needs to be together for a better future. Woman is always there with man from the time he takes birth. And man is also always there with woman by birth. Both live together to make life better. No one wants to survive alone. I feel that before man and woman we all are human beings with our own identity. Its been divided into so many categories like man woman tall small fair ugly Hindu Muslim that we never care about talking about a human. We always categorise before saying anything about anyone. This is the reason behind so many problems.
