Question

Effective speech on low status of women

Answer 1

The position and status of women in India is low despite the myth of her being considered a “goddess” and “shakti” personified. She may be the embodiment of power or Shakti but then there is the concept of this power having to be controlled and channelized and that controlling agent is conveniently man. So woman loses her individuality, her very right to exist for herself: she is to be protected by her father in her youth, by her husband after marriage and then by her son. These ideas persist with little dilution to this day and have caused immense harm to the status of women. What is worse, her tremendous contribution in terms of work at home and outside is either ignored or belittled. An indicator of the low social position of girls in the society is the phenomenon of adverse sex ratio. Generally the sex ratio of a population is considered to be the result of biological and social factors. One of the very disturbing findings in the recent period has been the fact that girls at birth have less survival chances than boys, which is contrary to the situation in various other countries. In fact sex ratio has been adverse in India, but more disturbing trend is the declining female population over the years. In the year 1901, for every 1000 males there were 972 females; in 1981 the number of surviving females was 934 and in 1991 it was 929.

The social reformers in the nineteenth century for the first time raised the question of low status of women in India. Raja Rammohun Roy, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar, M.G. Ranade, Maharshi Karve, Jyotiba Phule, Dayanand Saraswati and many others got quite concerned with woman’s low position in society. They felt very strongly that efforts must be made to raise her status. With the nationalist movement and particularly in the phase when Gandhiji was leading the movement many women came out of the four walls and contributed in various ways to free the country. With the attainment of Independence, a Constitution was adopted which guaranteed equality to all its citizens, gave social, economic and political justice, and recognized liberty of thought, expression, belief and worship. Men and women are declared equal before law. With this constitutional safeguard, a feeling was generated that the problems of inequality, inferiority, discrimination have been solved. This myth continued up to the mid-sixties. Perhaps the visibility of educated women in positions of power and a number of dignified nationalist women like Sarojini Naidu, Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, Vi­jayalaxmi Pandit, Renu Chakravarti, holding high positions of decision-making generated  an illusion that Indian women are equal in status, and they do not therefore require any movement for removing dis­abilities.
