The Indian government sells its slogan “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” to its innocent women to gain the vote bank of the female population. It is the biggest farce and hypocrisy sold by the Indian government to its women. The Indian government is racist, and nepotistic and favours only minority women.
I started my career in US MNCs in India 20 years ago after my post-graduation in America in 2003. I have seen the politics, male dominance and favouritism by the Indian and US management in India-based US MNCs. For middle-class families education is the only weapon that can help you keep your finances going throughout your life. So we were sold the dream of an American education by people who told us that it would be an investment.
However, after started working in India, I have been earning only peanuts in US MNCs where I have been subjected to bullying, ridicule, mental and sexual harassment and degrading treatment. I have been subjected to threats, intimidation and forced resignations. The IT management doesn’t consider degrees for job-related purposes. They only focus on skills.

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
