Just two days back the world celebrated International Women’s Day with all compulsive tokenism.
No petard hanging on us if we say that, there is no more need for making the women feel that the world should go agog to celebrate an International Womens’ Day.
It is already a fifty-fifty equity that the society enjoys over the false divide. Be it Williams , Dutee, Kalpana Chawla or Sania Mirza or innumerable faces unknown to the world who have demonstrated their mantle in any conceivable sphere, they perhaps require no such tokenism .
Then why this hullabaloo at a time when their feats in the respective fields have resonated from space, they have conquered over an archaic mind-set that is an off-shoot of a patriarchal illusion.
They speak loud and are heard, with intent and they have already set their rules, measured the concept where the role of gender division has become an alien thing. There is no definition made in many homes about who has to do what.
It is time that this cyclic dichotomy over equality was flung over the rims of the division.
Fearlessness among women has become so apparent that the male can no longer destine it to be encased in any casket.
It is not about a country or state or even a remote place reeling under a tag of backwardness, but women have their own dares which no male gaze can dare fade.
Leadership qualities among women have demonstrably competent traits as among men and in some cases they have surpassed the males.
It is timeless and ageless when women as leaders in any field have excelled over a prejudice that men are meant for the role of a leader.
