Indian Women Poem by Saroj Gautam
Indian Women
Indian women, they hold their place,
Laws have been made to ensure their grace.
Yet oppression still does reign,
An irony that causes pain.
Education they receive,
And in their careers they achieve.
But at home, their rights are less,
A misfortune, a duress.
In politics, they play their part,
Serving the nation with all their heart.
But respect in society, they lack,
A sadness that leaves them slack.
In sports, they win medals bright,
Bringing glory with all their might.
But praise like male players, they do not get,
A tragedy that leaves them upset
In art and literature, they inspire,
Their contributions set hearts on fire.
But fame like male artists, they do not see,
An imperfection that's free.
As mothers, they nurture their children dear,
With love and care, they persevere.
But help in household chores, they do not find,
An injustice that leaves them blind.
As wives, they support their husbands true,
Standing by them through thick and thin.
But domestic violence, they may face,
A painful scar, a bitter chase.
As daughters, they care for their parents dear,
With love and devotion, they shed no tear.
But equal respect from them, they do not see,
A dishonesty, a decree.

Remember the criminal-rapist-murderer who still controls the Wrestling Federation of India, who has sexually violated the women wrestlers who are the pride of India and how the b…d is still supported and shielded by the prime minister
Miles to go before we sleep, dear poet! Miles!
Good imagination. May be true with a minuscule minority. But, the real plight of women in India (please donot include Keralam, for Keralam is an island where your imagination might be true to a certain extent) is far removed from what you say
Women are are supposed to play second fiddle to their husbands, fathers and brothers.This is the hard reality of lives of Indian women.
You have depicted a true picture of the status of Indian women in society.In spite of all their talents and potentialities, whether she is a working woman or a simple house wife, they are always degraded and derided like second class citizens..
Do you agree with the custom forbidding females of age between 10 years and 50 years from worshiping at Shabarimala Ayyappan Temple? I do not. What emancipation of women are we speaking of?
7) Do you agree with the custom the forbids mensturating women from entering places of worship in Hindu Community? I do not!
5) Just think of the customs practiced by Hindu and Muslim religions to oppress women in places of worship! Do you, as a woman, really think that the sacred biological Process of menstruation (that indicates motherhood) leaves a woman unclean? I do not!

2) Remember Hathrus, Lakhimpur, and millions of other cases that go unreported. Even in Kerala Legistive Assembly, women representatives can be counted on your fingers. What equality are we speaking of?
So true, that's why I do write a lot for their voice,
