Do you still think independence, is a thing like a permission slip that you give your girls? Isn't independence her birthright?
Do you still think independence is a thing like a permission-slip that you give your girls? Isn’t independence her birthright?
Today, a lot of people praise themselves that they have given freedom to women in aspects of education and career. But, the question is, is freedom something that a man gives to a woman? Isn’t it her birth, right?
When a man achieves, the society hails his handwork and dedication. And credits every aspect of his success to him only!
But, when a woman achieves, a situation is created around her — something like, she has achieved it all because she was given freedom from her family and society.
Her efforts are appreciated with respect to some dependencies, and her credit of her handwork is broken and shared with others.
Foremost, in a society like ours, a change is always a critic. 99% of people always oppose the change because of social insecurity and lack of objective clarity.
An achievement should be praised equally, whether it’s a man or a woman or a third gender. Even though education is making a good impact, but still, women are suppressed by both men and women because of fear.
Even today, irrespective of education and technology, when a girl is born, parents primarily think of her marriage. Instead of making her to depend on someone, parents should make her financial independent, confident decision maker and intolerant towards gender based harassments.
So, independence is not just about obtaining a degree or securing a job. It’s about having a good lifestyle without any obstacles or insecurities, specially related to gender.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
