fifty plus people that have raised up and told their opinions about
the discrimination between men and ladies even during this era of
21st century.

The Sultan Raziyyat-Ud-Dunya Wa Ud-Din, popularly referred to


as Razia sultana was a ruler of the Delhi Sultanate within the
northern part of the Indian subcontinent. She was the primary
female Muslim ruler of the subcontinent, and therefore the only
female Muslim ruler of Delhi.

This book will show us Women's empowerment which is defined


by promoting women's sense of self-worth, their ability to work
out their own choices, and their right to influence social change for
themselves et al. and during this wonderful anthology the reader

Becoming Razia Sultan

Razia Sultana, was a ruler of the Delhi Sultanate within the


northern part of the Indian subcontinent. She was the primary
female Muslim ruler of the subcontinent, and therefore the only
female Muslim ruler of Delhi.
A daughter of Mamluk Sultan Shamsuddin Iltutmish, Razia
administered Delhi during 1231–1232 when her father was busy
within the Gwalior campaign. consistent with a possibly
apocryphal legend, impressed by her performance during this era,

6|Never Dying Art`S


Becoming Razia Sultan

Iltutmish nominated Razia as his heir after returning to Delhi.


Iltutmish was succeeded by Razia's half-brother Ruknuddin Firuz,
whose mother Shah Turkan planned to execute her. During a
rebellion against Ruknuddin, Razia instigated the overall public
against Shah Turkan, and ascended the throne after Ruknuddin was
deposed in 1236.
Razia's ascension was challenged by a neighbourhood of nobles, a
number of whom ultimately joined her, while the others were
defeated. The Turkic nobles who supported her expected her to be
a figurehead, but she increasingly asserted her power. This,
combined together with her appointments of non-Turkic officers to
big posts, led to their resentment against her. She was deposed by a
gaggle of nobles in April 1240, after having ruled for fewer than
four years. She married one among the rebels – Ikhtiyaruddin
Altunia – and attempted to regain the throne, but was defeated by
her half-brother and successor Muizuddin Bahram in October that
year, and was killed shortly after.

The female Heroes of India


Razia was the first female Muslim ruler in India, despite all the
struggle and torment she was an iconic example for all the female
rulers or dictators and was also recognized around the globe, Razia
was known for her bravery and became very popular in the Islamic
dynasty at that time amongst the male monopolized society and she
had not only fought for her throne but has also fought for the
humanity who has to jeopardize her own life for the common
lineage at that time, certainly between 1200AD-1300AD.

The great iconic Piller - Qutub Minar which embodies the Ismalic
culture and also the essence of that ear was also carved during her
reign and there are many examples like that which are still
sufficient to hold a strong opinion about the Mamluk Dynasty and
so on.

And, on the very last note, I would love to conclude with a


statement called - “A tough woman knows she has strength enough
for the journey, but a woman of courage knows it is the voyage
where the destiny will be directed by her.

Just A Lady
She's seen for what she wears, not for what's beneath the fabric.
She can't stop what's about to happen, but it's all her fault.

It's just another ordinary day for you and everyone else.
Just something to do and then forget about.
You can act rashly, but it's her and everyone else who has to live in
fear of it.
Neither you nor the people who make the rules are to blame.
The ones who don't give a damn about it are the ones in charge of
her decisions.
Those who don't have to think about what they're wearing, where
they're going, or who they're with are the ones who make her think
about them.

The Rising Soul


It all started when she was just a 10 years old child. It was that
phase of her life when she does not even know about the meaning
of life. A cheerful, kind-hearted girl turned into a silent, cold-
hearted girl. The only wrong she did was to trust in the person who
she thought would protect from all evil but turned out a devil
himself and crushed her soul with his cruel mind.

The person she called her BIG BROTHER molested her in the
name of playing games and as an innocent child she trusted him.
But after 3 years one day her mother found out about this thing of
her so-called brother and after knowing it all she broke down in
pieces. The innocent girl was interrogated by her mother and when
she replied saying the truth to all, her family also interrogated his
brother but he lied and as he is a boy, everyone blamed the
innocent broken soul as a SLUT. She was blamed at such an age
where she doesn’t even know the meaning of molestation and
sexual harassment. After this her mother told her the truth and
listening it, she felt herself getting drained.

After this incident her parents started to be more protective over


her, not allowing to any outing, talking to any boys, going alone to
school. Even though they are doing this for her safety but it made
her more suffocated and trapped. These chains of protection were
hurting her soul and mind that she wanted to run away from there
but she knew she can’t. If ever her parents saw her talking with any
boys, they would tell bad words about her friends and she never
liked it, so she started getting away from her parents.

She started staying away from everyone, not making any


boyfriends as they may hurt her. In the process of protecting
herself she lost herself.

17 | N e v e r D y i n g A r t ` S
Becoming Razia Sultan

After some years she started regaining her confidence but what a
cruel faith she had, her teacher molested her, whom she called
grandfather and again she broke.
But this time she became angry and frustrated at how she endured
everything and sat there helplessly. She decided to fight and rudely
went away from there and came to her hose and told everything to
her parents and warned them if they tried to tell her to continue
there, she will beat that old man up till he has no more breath to
take. And her parents first time saw her being so aggressive and
furious and decided to not go against her.

That day she learned that she just needs a little courage to fight for
herself and she did it. She fights her family and proved them that
she was not the old girl they messed with but was a cold person
they are messing with.

Her paternal family have never valued her as she was a girl and
always loved and cared for all her brothers. She loved her small
brother the most in her family as he is her own child. But after that
incident everyone tried to break her relationship with him but her
brother loved and cared her a lot so he never left her hand and
always supported her no matter what.

At the age of 17 she was suffering from severe depression and was
prone to suicide. When she went to hostel, she started being colder
hearted and loner. She started wearing a mask of smile and
happiness on her face so that no one will ever approach her asking
her problems. But one person saw through her and dragged her out
of the hollow world she hides herself in.

She was like an angle in her life, who taught her again to be herself
and live her life and dreams again.

And then the once dead cheerful girl reborn again and spread her
wings high to fly in the sky she once dreamt of. She started
18 | N e v e r D y i n g A r t ` S
Becoming Razia Sultan

speaking up for herself again and never compromise her desire for
others. She was still cold hearted on the outside, for not getting
betrayed again. She started exploring herself knowing herself more
and falling in love with herself. The bathroom singer became
confident enough to perform in front of peoples on stage, the
closed-door dancer participated in the functions and showed her
talent to all, the small and secret writer became a published author
and the girl she was became herself again.

The family who once prayed for her to just get vanished is now
envying her success and power. She started participating in many
co-curriculum activities and gained positions in most. Her mother
after knowing all these felt proud of her and smiled through her
tears after recalling her innocent angel’s cruel past.

Years past and now she is 20 and she is in her dream university
pursuing her passion and also achieving success. Now everyone is
appreciating her and wishing her more success but some are still
wishing for her to fall down but she is strong enough to climb back
up again.

Even if in life she suffered a lot of pain she learned a lot of things,
she learned how to handle toxic people, deal with manipulative
people, fight for her right. She slowly planned her career and
started working on it while following her passion. She became a
free individual with a new identity and life without caring about
the society.

A women can overcome any issue in life if she is ready to fight.


Women are all born fighters but they need to understand their
strength and weakness so that they can win the war against their
orthodox family as well as society. A woman doesn’t need a man
in her life to be successful or to be happy she just needs a person
who supports her in bad times and be her partner in the fight.

19 | N e v e r D y i n g A r t ` S
Becoming Razia Sultan

Never judge a woman by her silence or her emotional outbreak


because if she can bear pain she can give pain, if she can cry, she
can make you cry. Don’t hurt a women or girl coz you also have a
woman in your house, think about them.
Don’t ruin some helpless girl’s life just to satisfy your ego and
needs. They are human too and have a heart too to feel the pain
and hurt.

The Sweet And Ruthless Queen

It’s been 10 years since I left this county and went to The States.
But now I am back to complete the work I have been waiting for.
Let me something about myself I am AMO KIM. I used to stay in
Korea 10yrs ago and was 18 that time and was a sweet girl but the
society and the demons out there destroyed the old me and now
they will pay for what they did. My father never liked me and
considered me as a trash as they wanted a boy but. then my father
started abusing me and after my mother’s death he married
someone and then it began to be a hell for me as they took me as
their hitting dummy.

I used to be a nerd type girl so I also got bullied in my school. but


may be foe any good did that I had done before I got a good friend
who always helped me and support me. I started self-defence
classes in school so that I can defence myself. As I was in high-
school my parents abusing me for money and I have to leave my
college and do part time jobs in many places. If you would ask
why I didn’t flee away, well I tried but as everyone know money
can buy everything and it does and it bought my freedom as well
but I was lucky enough to get it back.

Soon I meet someone at my work place who offered me a job as a


street fighter and I took it as I needed money and I was known by
the name “QUEEN” as my opponent didn’t last longer than 1
minute in front of me. And then I started making my own gang
having people of same situation as me and worst and those who
want money for a living. I made an Empire of my own and soon it
became the most powerful one. After that I flew to states to
complete my study as well as to build the most powerful company.
And after this much time I am back to take the things that belong
to me and to make those people pay for their deeds.

21 | N e v e r D y i n g A r t ` S
Becoming Razia Sultan

I always help the people who wants to help themselves and will
make those suffer who use others weakness as their power. I am so
powerful now that no one can drag me down and step on me. Even
if we all have weakness never let that to control you but you
control it and make it your strength. Today if someone tries to drag
you down just be silent and go with the flow coz no one knows that
after a silence a hurricane is waiting for them.

NO ONE IN THIS UNIVERSE KNOWS YOU MORE THAN


YOURSELF.

The empowerment and autonomy of women and the improvement


of their social, political, and health status is a highly important end
in itself. In addition, it is essential for the achievement of
sustainable development.

We all know that for decade or let's say for centuries, women have
suffered in the hands of corrupt, evil, one-sided society; yet they
kept fighting for their rights. Starting from the later Vedic age to
the present times, we still see women suffering. Even in jobs and
offices, we see men getting more chances than women. These are
some of the many reasons we know for which woman
empowerment is needed. Even in the recent news, Taliban attacks
are a common topic where we see that Taliban restricted every
single thing starting from dressing to rights and duties for women.
They still believe in the old principle which tells that "Women are
here to give birth and look after household".
Women's empowerment can be defined as - Promoting women's
sense of self-worth, their ability to determine own choices, and
their right to influence social change for themselves and others.
Women's empowerment basically encourages the following points-
Women's sense of self-worth
Their right to determine choices
Their right to have access to opportunities and resources
Their right to have power to control their lives, both within and
outside the home
But just because women have suffered and did not get the rights,
they deserved but still stood strong; doesn't make them the best
between the two genders i.e., men and women. Yeah, it’s true that
we should support women's empowerment and that's because, even
if we are standing in 21st century, women still don't get the rights
they deserve. Don't get me wrong but we should support women
empowerment to the extent that both the genders become equal
cause if we start to think that women are better; then I'm sure men
will face the same neglection women faced. And of course, we

30 | N e v e r D y i n g A r t ` S
Becoming Razia Sultan

don't want history to repeat itself, do we? Hence, have a nice day
and support women's empowerment. That's all
Women's empowerment (or female empowerment) is the process
of empowering women. It may be defined in several ways,
including accepting women's viewpoints or making an effort to
seek them, raising the status of women through education,
awareness, literacy, and training. Women's empowerment equips
and allows women to make life-determining decisions through the
different problems in society. They may have the opportunity to
redefine gender roles or other such roles, which in turn may allow
them more freedom to pursue desired goals.

7 Billion People
Women can't lead
She must plead
Should live under the shoe
Beg for her breath
Feeling disheartened
They ask themselves "am I that weak?"

Some people changed


Some not
Even the court ordered
There should be equality
For men and women both

People who still thinks


That this is not legal
I think they are really egoistic people
If they ask "what can a women do ?!"
You should proudly reply " we made the 7 billion people which
you can't do "

Women are fragile
They should not go out late night
When this mind-set will get overcome?
And you talk about freedom?!

Everybody says there should be equality


But when we raise our voice
"They say you don't have that quality "

Why they say we are not enough


We can do everything which men do
While bleeding 7 days a month

Hope Of Tomorrow
Women are the hope of tomorrow. All people have their own right
to lead their life in their own way. But why women are not allowed
to lead their life? Aren't they humans? Aren't they made by bones,
blood, muscles? So why our society saw a woman in a bad way?
Why they act with a woman in a bad intention? We all say equality
should be there, no discrimination between women and men but
when it comes to reality, we act like that who are women? They
are fool creatures, disgusting creatures and all these that's why a
man should be in a higher position than a woman. Are we living in
2021? With this kind of mentality!

Many of us feel ashamed when our mother is a house wife. Isn't it?
But because inequality, unfreedom and pushing in their blood that
you are less than a man! When a woman is raped, the faults are if
women's only, maybe she was showing her body like the way she
was dressed up, maybe she was smoked and drunk but I think it
wasn't her dress, it was your evil mind! If you rape a woman then
where you get "a virgin wife'?

Many women had proved that they can do anything no matter what.
Cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman to go in space,
Kadambini Gangly, the first lady doctor. So how can we say
women are less than men! What is the logic? We worship female
goddess but in our own home we are killing our own girl power.
Remember if you kill her before birth, the world will die in dearth.
We underestimate the power of a woman but she is the only person
who can carry a child in her womb for 9 months which a man
cannot!

We know this proverb that “Don’t judge a book by it cover" so


never think or judge a woman because a woman can do anything
so rather by judging them try to give "Respect", try to spread
"Equality" and women are the powerful creatures of our world.

women are not curse, they are our pride

When the word 'Woman' comes in our mind we think that a person
who can't do anything, a person who should always be under
control, a person who can't fly and can't grow, a person who is less
than a man and a person who is a curse of this world. But let me
tell you a woman can do anything, a woman can fly and can grow,
a woman is equal to a man and a woman is not a curse rather than
she is a blessing because remember she is a powerful creation of
God, if she can make the world, she can destroy it too. Women
empowerment basically means to promote women's sense of self-
worth, their ability to determine their own choices and their right to
influence social change for themselves and others.

Our society always teaches us that woman should have culture, she
should have boundaries in her life and restrictions too because they
already want a woman not to get educated but get marry and be a
maid in others house! But why? Every girl has rights to learn! Stop
murdering the adolescence by youngster marriage and begin
teaching your girl. We all want to be independent but when it
comes to a woman, she should be dependent. What a great thing
our society is teaching to us!

Why you want a daughter-in-law, when you killed your own girl
child? Never try to judge a woman bravery because what a woman
can tolerate, a man can never!
MAN THINKS HE IS A "HERO" BUT IF HE KILLS HER, HE
WILL JUST REMAIN"ZERO".

We Are Women
We are love, we are care, we are nurture, we are encouragement,

We are capable of bonds beyond family ties.

We are able to join beyond blood bonds and unite beyond the
difference.

We smile with strength through sorrows.


Showing our scars, because these war wounds are our beauty
marks.

We are amazing beings of achievements and skill,


Because of us the world is evolving still.

We are all these things and a whole world more.

We Need Equality

Take me to the place where


There is no gender discrimination
Where girls are not kept back at home
'Coz of the society deeds.

His dreams have been a dream


But her dream is only for kitchen
Break this shuttle and cut the crap
Everything a woman can do in this world.

Women wearing shorts doesn't invite rape


She's born as a goddess nurturing
The life cells with and giving birth
Society compare a girl with a boy.

Why she has to leave everything she has?


Why don't she live the way she wants?
'Coz she is a girl and nights are not safe for her
Then change the judgment and mentality.

I often wonder who created gender discrimination


None is great and none is less.
World needs humans not gender
I am not a feminist but believe in equality.

Women are the living form of Goddess


And deserve rights and respect
We want equality not authority
'Coz women are warriors not barriers.

Struggle
A girl named "Vidya'' who belongs to a poor family in Assam with
a big dream to become a sprinter. She is a 12-year-old girl who
lives in a patriarchal village where women are not allowed to move
out of their home. She lives with her parents and two younger
siblings. She says everything to her mother, "Smriti" and Smriti
says to give up her dream because no one would allow her to do so.
Vidya is sad. One day, Vidya was sitting in the corridor of her
home and she saw a bull running towards a child and the child was
playing, unaware about it. She shouted but nobody listened to her
and she herself ran and saved the child from the bull. The child's
mother, "Sharmila" saw that and she was so happy that Vidya
saved her child. Sharmila says this to her husband, "Ajay". Ajay is
angry about why a girl came out from her home and complains
about Vidya to the head of the village. Village head calls Vidya's
father, "Prakash" and warns him to have a look towards his family
because her daughter is coming out of her home. Prakash says that,
"Vidya just came out to save the kid". Ajay is so heartless that in
spite of saying thank you to Vidya for saving his child, he is
accusing her. And Prakash apologizes on behalf of Vidya.
Prakash went home and praised Vidya for saving a life but warned
her not to go out again for any reason. Vidya at night, thinking
about the incident and she thought to go out again to run. Next day,
she seeks permission from Smriti to have a practise on running.
Smriti says," You can do this but after everyone sleeps." At about
11 O'clock, Vidya came out from her home for her practise. And
after 1 week, someone saw her running in the road and complained
to Prakash. Next day, Prakash slaps Vidya for not listening to him.
Vidya tries to convince him that she wants to become a sprinter,
she can't give up her dreams. Prakash scolds that no girl in the
village is allowed to go out of their home and she is dreaming to
become a sprinter. Prakash says," This is impossible", and rushes
from there.

45 | N e v e r D y i n g A r t ` S
Becoming Razia Sultan

Prakash next day sees Vidya crying, he is feeling sad for her and
goes to talk about this matter to his friend, "Rakesh". Rakesh says,
"Vidya is like my daughter, I am feeling bad for her but you know
the condition of our village and also we don't have money to send
her for any training." Prakash knows that Vidya has the courage to
do something and wants her to go ahead but how they would
manage the head of the village. Prakash and Rakesh went to the
head to talk about Vidya's dream. Head of the village said, "It is
not possible. We can't allow any girl to go out and to do something
which are not meant for girls." Rakesh tries to convince him but no
response. They came back home. After some days, one night,
Prakash's neighbour's hut is on fire. People rushed there and
shouting that people are inside the home and nobody is trying to
take them out. Then Prakash goes inside to help them and Vidya
sees everything from the window and she runs to save her father
and moves inside the hut. Fortunately, nobody was harmed and all
came out safely. The news comes to the head of the village that
again Vidya came out from her home. Along with Prakash, his
whole family was thrown out of the village.
They move to another village and Prakash is searching for a new
job for their survival. He gets a work of fruit vendor. Prakash is
saying to Smriti, "I am facing more crisis for our survival. I have 3
daughters; I don't know how I can manage everything." Vidya
listens her parent's conversation and feels very sad. But the new
village where they came, is not like the previous one. Women are
allowed to go out of their houses. This brings a little hope for
Vidya and again she seeks permission from Prakash to do her
practise. This time Prakash didn't stop her and encouraged her.
Vidya starts practising day and night. And suddenly 8 years have
passed. Now Vidya is 20 years old and fully ready to participate in
a competition. But Prakash has no money to send her anywhere.
As she is a village girl, Vidya's neighbour starts telling her parents
about her marriage because she is now 20 years old. But Vidya
doesn't want to get married. But Smriti says they don't have money
to afford for Vidya only because she has 2 more daughters too.
46 | N e v e r D y i n g A r t ` S
Becoming Razia Sultan

Smriti says, "People have some dreams that are not meant to be
fulfilled." And Smriti consoles Vidya to forget about her dream
and to focus on her marriage and in-laws' house. Vidya then agrees
for the marriage because she doesn't have any other way. After her
'Roka', she is very upset that her dream will turn into vain and can
never become a sprinter. After her marriage, Vidya says everything
to her husband, "Nitin". Nitin understands her feelings and
supports her to go ahead. But Nitin's family is against this decision.
As they are from a good family but still, they also belong under a
village area. So, it is not good for them that a newlywed daughter-
in-law will go out in front of other men to play. Nitin tries to
explain to them that if men are capable of doing it, why won't
women? Nitin's mother, "Kalki" slaps Nitin and says not to do
these things in their home.
Nitin is also a stubborn person, as he thinks that Vidya will play,
that means she will play. He took Vidya and sent her for training.
When this news came to Nitin's family, they threw them out of
their family. And Nitin's father, "Ganesh" does 'shraddha' of Nitin
and Vidya and says, "Nitin and Vidya are dead now. They can't
keep their feet in this house again." Both Nitin and Vidya went to a
city, Nitin always supported her. Both started a small 'Dhabi' near
their home. Vidya and Nitin both remain there up to 4 O'clock,
then Vidya leaves for her training. One day, Vidya gets selected in
a race and she was telecast on TV. She won the race; everybody is
appreciating and she gained her name and fame. Now, Nitin's
family came to meet them. Kalki wants to take them home but
Nitin refuses to go back again and sends Kalki back. Vidya says,
"Nitin, they are our family, we should forgive them and must go
back home. They understand their mistake now. Please let's go
home." Nitin then agrees to go back.
After 2 days, both Nitin and Vidya go to their home and Ganesh
welcomes them and apologizes in front of them. Both forgave their
family and started living happily. Then Prakash comes to inform
Vidya that, "Vidya, where we used to live in our old village, the
head of that village calls us to visit the village, especially you as a
47 | N e v e r D y i n g A r t ` S
Becoming Razia Sultan

guest." After going there, Vidya was so emotional and gave a


speech on her struggle that how she achieved her goal. And people
must change their perspective, their thinking towards girls or
women. As men are allowed to go or to do whatever they like, then
why not women. Both man and woman are the creation of God,
both have flesh, both have bones, both have feelings, both have the
right to live, then why are women not allowed to go out or to play
anything. They shouldn't stop women from doing it. Finally, the
village dwellers understand their mistake. Now the barrier they put
on the women of that village is banned. Women are free now to
roam out of their houses. Vidya also gives facilities to the village
people and opens sports clubs for both men and women in the
village.

Women Empowerment
Well, Women are the one to be suppressed down under the feet of
men.
No no, they don't have any choice of their own and freedom or
liberty. A very famous quote by the voice of women and men, "
Women, oh still now not married! What for studying so much?,
She didn't listen to her husband?, Don't show your body, You are a
girl and should tolerate more, she wore a short dress and came
back home form a night party at 3:00 pm without a male member."
These are few famous TAGLINES" from people. I am perfectly
happy with this.
Why don't you people raise your voice against this? Are all women
not equal to deserve the equal respect, freedom, literacy, mental
peace, right to choose and many more at high?
Let us all bring our hands together and make a building for raising
voice against these few facts which is not acceptable by a woman
and put stress on the mind of a girl.
What it leads to is depression, anxiety and insecurities in oneself.
My perspective regarding this is why should a girl insecure to wear
a stylish dress that in an independent nation? Aren’t we all proud
to be in an independent nation? Then why to feel like this this.

Hey all of you, This is Trishita Tapadar want to draw your notice
and make you people share some facts regarding Women
Empowerment and Becoming Razia Sultan.

What is Women Empowerment? Let us know:


Women Empowerment is the process leading to empowering
women which can be defined in various ways like accepting a
woman's standpoint, stopping discrimination against them,
providing enough education towards them, allowing them to make
their choice in which they feel happy and comfortable, giving them
53 | N e v e r D y i n g A r t ` S
Becoming Razia Sultan

an environment which is secure for them to expose their body and


the point is that we should be proud to expose our body because if
we love ourselves then obviously our figure and outfit right at that
moment and etc. And when the term of Empowerment comes we
remember about three famous personalities Ishwar Chandra
Vidyasagar, Raja Ram Mohan Ray and Rani Rashmoni who
stopped child marriage, and brought in an action to the remarriage
of Widows. I literally love the great personality of this powerful,
modern lady in terms of mentality about Women. She understood
very well the importance of Women Empowerment and Equality in
our society and against our society
Coming to the point for bringing equality in Females
Equity brings to equality that makes a world enough of respectable
and a happier place to stay.
My standpoint regarding the topic of EQUALITY are:
i) In position of power. Yes, A Women should be given equal
power as men as a normal human not as treating like a servant.
ii) Economic inequality that is money, job and education crisis and
torture against girls which should be stopped at the earliest. A
woman is a natural human who has the right to get enough literacy,
get a good designation in her jobs and earn as much she deserves
to.
iii) Access to equal opportunities and chances to be a responsible
and successful person.
iv) Trauma, pressure and depression in case of marriage and career.
Let me share you all a fact that when you force or pressurize
someone for certain reason and actions, that person won't do it
happily and smoothly because it would be completely against her
mind. So, this again leads to the commitment of suicidal cases. So
why to force a girl to destroy her career and do marry a guy. First
of all let that girl be enough independent and strong to lead a life
on her own. Family pressure and issues are a great matter of
problem for the females which shouldn't be anymore in action.
54 | N e v e r D y i n g A r t ` S
Becoming Razia Sultan

v) Rapes and societal discriminations should be stopped and


people should change their mentality as fast as possible and
suppressing them, especially the ancient people who are dumbed
with a rubbish mind in their head.
vi) Should get equal respect and affection from the society and
from everyone because what can be pure as respect and love?

The Story Of Becoming Razia Sultan

Razia Sultan the great and first Muslim woman ruler who got
involved in the throne of Delhi and popularly became Razia
Sultana. She fought very bravely in the rule of Delhi Sultanate with
her siblings. She acted as a male soldier and was very brave that
was beyond the imagination of the people of that time. She
defeated a lot and kept herself as an example to women to come
out from suppression act of people and to raise voice against their
discriminations in various fields. More than a brave ruler she
showed herself as a brave woman who was against all the act of
people towards girls.
Not a Single Women should tolerate this torture, discrimination,
inequality, inappropriate treatment against WOMEN.
" WE AS WOMEN WANTED TO BE EMPOWERED, WANT,
AND WILL WANT TO BE" People have to understand the true
facts and points of ours and me as a girl should not care what
people say, think or speak about ME. All of us should improve the
condition of girls in our country and when as an independent
nation, everyone should be individually independent.

Why do you want to prove yourself when you know you are not
wrong?
Ask yourself,
Do you think you have made that mistake ?
If the answer is yes, well then, you are guilty as charged.
No right ?
Then why justify people ?

Break that person's leg at once, if they play the blame game with
you.
When you are sure of yourself, don't let anyone get in your head.

Just tell that person, they don't deserve an explanation, for when
they went on to doubt, it means that trust is missing.

If it is missing, no matter what all you explain, it will still be


missing.
Instead, they will get more Reasons to play the blame game.

You know,
Whatever you do, people will always raise questions.
The more you explain, the more questions will be asked.

Till the day you don't feel guilty, don't go on explaining people.

Live your life on your terms. Not on the terms of people around.

boys were so cruel that they were even saying that they have parents

Titanium Woman
I try to wash away your memories from my body,
But the scars on my wrist still remind me of you.
Your memories come back like cigarette stubs on my skin.

I wish I had the courage to fight you,


To hit you back.
But I just stood there petrified,
With clenched fists,
Hoping you get it over with,
My mind confused and blank.

You see I was just a girl then, just a little girl.


I didn’t know what was happening,
I didn’t understand.

All I knew was that it is wrong.


I didn’t realise then that I wasn’t the wrongdoer
But the wronged one.
Those memories come back over and over again,
So foggy and so clear,
So distant and so near.

You see I blamed myself.


I thought I was responsible.
I saw myself in the mirror everyday
Painted with hatred.

Were there others like me?


Did you do the same to them?
Do you even remember what you have done
Or think about your actions?
Does my bruised body bother you?
Did you even notice the scar on my breast?

I have built walls to protect myself,

A shield for the shattered pieces of my broken heart.
I am still scared of touch.
I held my fort even then.
No matter how you tried, you couldn’t penetrate me.
I have somehow forgotten your cigar smell,
That nauseated my core.
I tried to blur out the smell of alcohol that hung around the air.
It is still there though, locked away in thr dark ridges of my
consciousness.

You see, I am not a fragile piece of glass anymore,


Like I was; so translucent and vulnerable.
You could not choke out the strength out of me.
Didn’t you see the courage that flashed through my eyes then?
It Is not a sound of silence,
But a powerful roar of survival.
I am strong now.
I am steel,
I am like titanium.

Her Freedom
Above the grey, the sky slowly turns;
An angry red exploding to bring back the blue infinity.
Proud muse of freedom awaken once more,
Hear the call of the vision of dreams.
Heartbeats, throbbing veins and passions,
And histories untold and unnamed have carved;
The sacred book with the golden words.

Thy river flows


Breaking pebbles, rocks and boulder walls.
Out of the many shades of scarlet
and water drops that colour the soil
Will again grow stories of vibrant green and ripe sunshine yellows.

Who can stop the ocean of humanity?


Who can silence the roaring sea in underground caves,
That will dance like meteor showers.
Time and again the shackle breaks
With the song of thy lyre.
The avian figure calls out for the dazzling red
To make a necklace of the promised dream.
One spark can light up the galaxy,
And one honest voice reach to unite millions across the distance.
It is time to travel the roads again,
Break the handcuffs and walk
Under a thousand splendid Suns.

The storm will be thy victory banner


And crown thee with the tune of spring
As enlightened hearts free and fair will rise
In the wake of dawn under the midnight sky.

In this time where people claim themselves to be evolving species,


I sit back there in a corner with fear, will I be safe today? Maybe
many woman are feeling the same. We still are facing same issues
with higher intensity, of course. The fear of walking down on
streets at night, having to compromise just for the sake of someone
else, facing patriarchy, being treated in the worst way, only
question which arises my mind is, this is your freedom? Your
progress?

Whom to blame? Egoistic men or a patriarchal woman? Well, its


high time we start asking questions to woman too, as we never
wanted us to be superior we always yearned equality. Can we just
sit and look around, women being raped brutally, dreams dying
just because she is a woman, misogynistic sucking us up? Despite
of woman proving their worth every time, all that is done is shoved
her down as some people really find it hard to digest the success of
woman.

I know there's a long way to go, this fight 'for asking equality not
superior femininity' is hard but I know one day it will happen.
Hope so one day we wont be asking for basic rights like breathing
freely, getting respect we deserve and not hearing feminist as a
mockery. Remember, next time you speak of freedom, are you
being a reason someone else is not experiencing it?
It will go on, until we make it!!!

Equality Against Woman


Woman empowerment is the hot topic nowadays ;
Woman empowerment means equal opportunities in terms of
education, health and employment, freedom of speech, equal
opportunity in terms of
Going outside and do the job for long nights. Girls are not seen as
a burden in society. They should be given equal opportunity as
compared to men. We see mostly in a rural area like Rajasthan
where child marriage is very common, they do not educate their
girl child because of the triple mindset that they should be living
for their family. Women feel insecure to go outside; the
government also launch various schemes for Beti Bachao; Beti
padhao, Nari Shakti Pushkar and one step centre scheme. But we
see now also various cases against women, they are molested
emotionally and socially. Strict rules and regulations should be
followed so that this crime can be stopped. In my opinion, since
childhood both boys and girls are seen as equal there should be no
discrimination between both. If women get more opportunities as
compared to men then only in a real sense a perfect example of
women inequality can be set. As we all know that "if we educate
men we educate one family, but if we educate women we educate
an entire generation".
Equal pay to both, equal opportunity in everything like a legitimate
court case, compensation to both as a daily worker it's not like she
is a woman, either in domestic violence or violence against
wearing short skirts. Women are equally supported in terms of
freedom as men. In my opinion that would be freedom in the real
sense.

Dear Young Daughters,


Stop feeling down about yourself. Society will criticize you,
discriminate you; they will drag you down in every walk. People
just quest for chances to trouble you and mislead you from your
goals.

The aunties in your parish will yet see their sons superior to you.
They will interrupt you from fulfilling your ambitions; people will
buzz about you, they will spread rumours about you. They will
represent your psyche as the worst person they ever had known;
just because they are envious of you, your way of life, and your
triumph. And when you head towards success and have your initial
stride towards it, your own allies will be your worst foes. Why so?

Just because they can't see you paced back and forth, running your
fingers through your hair and leading your desired lifestyle. Their
jealousy turns into enviousness as they neither can see you happy
nor can vie with your norms. They realize the realism that you are
someone whose standards they can neither knock nor can muster
up courage to mention their theories to your face as they need to
protect their masks of sweetness. They can't do anything except
bark at your back respecting their positions.

But baby-girl,

Why it bothers you and affect your preparations?

You know who you are. They can't ever describe the true you. But
you perceive your rate, so there's no need to slow down and hear
how individuals are describing you and dismay about it by
doubting yourself. They are not god; they have not seen each side
of your story yet they judge you, so it mirrors their low personality,
not yours. With those, they are showing how far they can go
down ,struggling hard in the tries of ruining your image.
89 | N e v e r D y i n g A r t ` S
Becoming Razia Sultan

When you fail, everyone will discourage you more and more,
every second. But do you know when you lose?

You lose when you accept your defeat and the negativity of the
gossips and restrict yourself from trying.

It's fine to fail because it shows at least you are trying to succeed
and not sitting idle and gossiping and troubling others rather than
working hard to live your desired life.

Don't stop, you're an angel and you're open to do anything.You are


inexorable. Don't let negativity to enter your life. Cut off those
toxic people no matter how much you loved them; they aren't more
important than your goals.

You are the mere author of your own future.

Just listen to your heart and keep on moving, god's at your back,
you are never alone. Do your deeds he will push you towards your
destiny.

From A Victim To A Poetess


Heart prints through finger prints ,
On the blank pages of my unrained Earth ,
I would defeat all the water in your eyes ,
I would make a stream of dreams and screams .

I was a partitioned being along wires and divisions ,


I ,in rags and crags ,my troubles in a maze,
My life was a pain, was death the ultimate relief?
My mind a battle of empire-ships and fragile boats , fighting the
Sea as well as themselves.

I was a victim of people's prejudices: my pride, sandwiched like a


lemon rollercoaster.
Now ,my last seed-chance among the ,
Buzz of everyday life, smokes and labour .
Like mom's sweat , father's premium hug ,
Feeling maa's dupata and father's beard .
What's so heavenly in commonality ?
So do I trekked the peak of my victimised mind to the peak of
poetess everyday.

What Can I Do ?

Since birth , I realised a lady's job ,


Women around me taught a rule: Patriarchy.
The principle did assault some of my freedom, I screamed ,not
realised.
Life felt unruly, what a madness burnt in me !
No extinguisher could put if off like a fan ,
It was a real storm from voyaging a wanton Sea ,blessed moments
turned treacherous winds .

I was my own inspiration, I assert ,


For my story was going to be different,
I was not yet like Mrs. Mallard in a dream of an hour nor Miss
Meadows in a singing lesson .
I am a girl of Sunrise not fading until Sunset,
I was the wind that turned and twisted ever-tight and ever-light , I
felt free .
Free that responsible love hasn't targeted me
Well ,I could built a beautiful cage as big as I could fly , smell
baking freedoms .

When a hand slipped through a saree, on a puja pandel , I thrashed ,


people thought me violent , I am truly unforgiving.
I sloganed when others faced a bruised feature where lines spoke
strength,
I was called a rebel .
Call me anything you don't like, I won't encage anyone rather i
would change some.

Her Journaled Journeys

Teacher - Still A God In Disguise


Mother, Father , Teacher and God is what the society filled our
brains. We believe that teachers would be the second parents as we
spend equal time in school and at home. In fact , Teachers analyse
the depth, capacity and the capability of every student and suggests
steps to improvise their results. The bond between the teacher,
student and the parents are interlinked each other. So the parents
can blindly trust the teachers and students were also blindly
divulged to the teachers. I hardly had an incredible admiration
towards teachers who selflessly work day and night to bring
refinement in students. They are the most selfless and noblest
persons on Earth.. But the scenario in the 22nd century made the
early thoughts upside down and spoiled the healthy relationship of
the triangle between teacher, student and the parent. The
development of the society has brought trillions of changes in the
universe. When in the early generation girls weren't allowed to
study and step out of their homes, A revolutionary change was
created by the social activists and the girls were set free and the
freedom was given back. But now , Are the girls are afraid of their
teachers? Yes, not for their homework & their studies but for their
protection. Teachers started sexually abusing the students in the
school. How worse our system got developed. What would happen
if the girl reveals it to her parents. Will they stop her education and
kill all her living ambitions. Thinking all the surly effects ,They
started lurking and tolerating it everyday which caused greater
mental laceration and affected the studies. Bringing up all their
courage , a group of students who were harrased by him were
taken to the eyes of the management. But to my shock the
management ignored all their complaints and just alerted which
was devastating. The incidents the girls shared made by heart
heavier. This is not only happening in schools, almost everywhere
such as music classes, relative homes and the girls are not even
minors which starts from the age of 5. What condemnation did
98 | N e v e r D y i n g A r t ` S
Becoming Razia Sultan

they get from God than being a girl? In those days , social activists
fought for independence , but this got whirled to be a shameful act
in the society. Every school student have gone through the mental
trauma and buried it , tolerated it for their fruitful Future. Their
words and the molestations they have gone through precisely
brought tears to my eyes and I was speechless. These kind of
incidents are spoiling the synonyms of teacher where there are still
many teachers working and sacrificing the time for their family
just for students education. Creating cognitive knowledge and
insisting on sex education is much more significant than teaching
subjects to get higher grades which the world declined to do. It is
time to open up. Fight for your right until they fade. Fight until
every men in the world preaches women and protects you .The
social media has created a great impact in the modernized digital
world. Just one touch of mail can bring changes to the upcoming
teens. The society is ready to fight for righteousness. Plop all your
misery and change into anger. Open up to people and bring this to
light. There are many incidents which are found. But still many of
them are hiding themselves with their untold miseries. The more
you avoid and keep quiet , it will happen to many girls which
might spoil their pursuit . Unless you raise voice out and bring an
end , you can't except the change!! The government has also
upgraded with the laws for sexual abuse which are specially built
for the safety of girls.

"Let the next generation be proud by your actions!! Raise your


voice and save lives".

Making things easy from difficult
Was her magic to live life in a better way
Overcoming the problems

And make her take step backward
And not taking the pace,
Which was claimed for her...

Made the whole society bend down
Reliving the life with long lost proud

No one can bend her down

She is a woman sir,
She's born with wings.

Gone are the days


When man was considered
to be a defender of woman.
"She needs to be protected,
she's frail", in futility they chanted,
Her virtue of forgiveness was always taken for granted.

Past has taught her the resilience,


And now she is fierce.
Blood, hardships and toil, she now even appraises her tears.

Till the time woman needs to be empowered,


True empowerment won't come,
As yet you keep her rights and interests immured inside a slum!

The day when we don't need such words as women empowerment


Congrats my dear! That day our girls will be really empowered!!

Your imaginations won't give you the future you wish

Woman look around you at the people you love
They love you, but do they love your thoughts?
Would they like it if you cross the sill that's guarding your door
"Stop, you can't," they'll tell you a no.

Where horses race along the clouds
And birds commentate on their vie

Hidden Empowerment - A Village Mother


We are speaking a lot about Women empowerment,
But unfortunately missed to notice an hidden empowered women
at home.
Who can manage a wide range of department as beautiful she does ?
She would haven't completed her Bachelor's in Nutrition,
But always ensures nutrition in her dishes for us.
She would haven't bagged Master chef title,
But always held us with her tasty cusine.
She would haven't been a Finance Graduate,
But she can plan well even our Nation's Budget.
She ' MOTHER ' has an inbuilt extraordinary power.
She performs multiple tasks with best results,
Even after facing soo many moments, painful and critical.
That Gutz personifies her beauty soo well.
When being inside four walls , she is flaunting bright to this extent,
If she comes out of the walls breaking all the barriers , sure she
will give a tough fight.
Ending my words with never-ending eagerness to witness many

The Either Sides

In the middle of the hectic schedule,


When a group of empowers are empowering a group of women,
And those group of women are struggling to cross various barriers,
On either of the sides are two other scenarios.
One is where women are misusing women power against men.
On other side the society is holding her from stepping forward by
tagging with soo many labels.
It would be great if both of these conditions vanish.
We women struggling against the societal barriers adds up to our
strength,
Whereas misusing our powers will deteriorate not only a single
woman,
But earns hatred and tags that women words will always be valued
no matter what.
Which in turn pulls our value down as days pass by
I may sound odd, I might earn lot of hatred to emphasize on this
point.
But I feel it has to be spoken out by all women to save our
community with no heads facing down.
Soo many ill incidents are happening to women, I agree
But at no point women should pose such incidents on anyone , be it
a man or woman.
With a hope that anything is easy to eradicate at its earliest stage
and it is not too late.

Hurdles To Stepping Stones


Speaking about women empowerment in this modern era, still we
women are getting stopped because of the society. But, it is not
right to blame the society for it. Because it is our heart or mind that
considers the voice of surrounding. We fall or stop, is not because
the society passes comments, we fall where we listen to it’s voice.
We can listen to it, not to fall. To prove they are wrong and we are
strong.
Still we can keep on hearing a question ' what a lady can do ?’,it’s
not about ladies, depends on each individual. Be it a man or
woman.
Being a woman, we are loaded with lot many restrictions. Though
for safety concern, it is locking us from outside world and it’s
opportunities. So, it is better to defend for us rather than getting
locked inside. Thus evolving stronger,
Sometimes our parents may not be by our side. Being 90’s kids we
are still struggling to come out of societal Comments and
descriptions then how about 60’s grown ups?. So, it is not a big
deal. Let them take time until we achieve.
At this point we need to think of soo many women battling with
life for various crucial issues, Still achieving. In front of them we
are nothing and our societal comments are spec of dusts.
This society will never leave a woman untagged with odds. And
the same society will celebrate us once we achieve heights. So,
societal judgement is totally an invalid one.

Women Empowerment
The discrimination between male and female is not new, especially
in India. This problem is very common and this is going on from
the mediaeval times till now. Yes, till now !
Though India has developed a lot in the fields of education, finance,
technology and so on, but still in many parts of this country, the
people have such mentality like the people in mediaeval times have.
Come on men ! Please stop this. What we are gaining by doing this.
On the other hand see how in the developed nations, the men are
working with hand to hand with women. If there was not such
discrimination, I can bet that India would also be one of the
developed nations.
This line is very common in most of the villages in India that,
"Women ! Why they need to be educated ? They need to be
married as soon as possible". So I, Abhinava Dutta, want to draw
your attention towards my article.
We all say that men are the future but it is wrong. Let's take the
example of Kalpana Chawla, Lata Mangeshkar and many more are
there who are one of the great legends in the world. So why should
we destroy the career, the talent in women ? They should also get a
chance. When the term of 'Empowerment' comes, we talk about
Raja Ram Mohan Ray, Rani Rashmoni and Ishwar Chandra
Vidyasagar who stopped child marriage. So if they can show some
courage and stop this ritual so why can't we stop the
discrimination ? Let's give it a try to spread equality between men
and women.
Let's now talk about the story of Razia Sultan :-
Rajia Sultan was a great in first muslim ruler who got involved in
the throne of Delhi and popularly became Rajia Sultana. Ship for
very bravely e in the rule of Delhi sultanate with their siblings. See
acted as a male soldier and was brave enough who was beyond the
imagination of the people of that time. She was defeated a lot and
kept herself as an example to the women to come forward from

celebration act of people and to raise voice against the


discrimination in various fields.

not care what people say, think or speak about. All of us should
improve the condition of girls in our country and win as a
independent nation everyone should be individually independent.

Name It Woman
"Beauty is my forte, love is my character ... though I'm a flame, but
my outlook is of a firefly"
~ Razia Sultan

Name it rebellious, name it reflexive, or perchance name it a bare


human propensity to get one's own back, every time you swung
your truncheon of tyranny, to oppress, obscure and obliterate the
existences of those, from whom my dear, your own being had been
bequeathed.

Name it as one ridiculous depiction of rebellion, the moment she


trampled the years, or maybe decades or perhaps centuries old
rusted fetters that had been furled around her feet, all this while
feasting upon her spirit to soar high and reach for the sky, the sky
which she used to gaze all day and night, counting the gazillion of
stars from those half drawn curtains of hers, which your hands
seemed to be honed solely to shut them tight.

Name it as one mere moment of unforgivable reflex, when she


knew to hold her chin high with one unflinching gaze that pierced
through the most forbidding souls which had dared, never endingly
to smash to smithereens the dreams her eyes had nurtured through
sleepless nights and draconian daylights where every approaching
footstep only halted by her door to hush the hopes that now urged
to emanate from the stifled chambers of her heart.

Name it as one idiosyncratic human propensity the moment she


bounced back to her own feet at last after being perpetually held
down with her voice muffled and her liberty pestled but little did
you know, that she was the one with a heart as gentle as a feather
stroke, the heartstrings of which had known for harbouring
remnants of umpteen unnoted bruises and untold battles, the very
heart that also knew to be as strong as the voice of Fate, not once
130 | N e v e r D y i n g A r t ` S
Becoming Razia Sultan

faltering to sew its cracks before setting out to reclaim itself yet
again.

Little did you know, that she was the one with a soul where naivety
reigned in whole, where a one of a kind tenderness lived which
was often mocked and declared to be the cause of her downfall, but
it was that very tenderness which in times tempests never failed to
become both her shield and her sword.

Little did you know, that she was a woman, and compassion was
her biggest virtue but once aware of her worth, and despite being
relentlessly repressed she would resurface, for her very dainty
heart and tender soul knew when and how to be a fortress,
crusading against those who wished to conquer her, sailing right
into the eye of the storm to be set free, and trouncing the
touchstones that kept telling her every now and then what made
her a woman, and what made her less of a woman

Name it rebellious, name it reflexive, or perchance name it a bare


human propensity but above all remember her name is a woman,
who would today, tomorrow or at this very instant get her own
back, every time you swung your truncheon of tyranny, to oppress,
obscure and obliterate her existence, from whom my dear, your
own being had been woven.

कभी अपना मुंह खोल के दे खो,


अपनी मया् दा का मान न रखके,
कभी यह समाज के खखलाि जाके दे खो।
अपने सपने दे खो,
और उने सजाना सीखो,
सही का साथ दे कर,
गलत का दवरोध करना सीखो।।
नारी हो न??
कभी नारी की मया् दा लां घ के नारायरी बनके तो दे खो!!

The day she decided to break all the walls,

Is the day she achieved new milestone in her life,

The day she decided to open her eyes and face the reality,

Is the day she starts shining bright and this make her vision more
clear,

The day she decided to give new direction to her life,

Is the day she started filling new colours in the path,

The day she decided to grow is the day she is actually where the
Crown of confidence and start glowing

नारी, दजस शब का पहले ही आते हे "ना"। यहाँ से ही शुर हो जाते है


ुक नारी की संघष् दक अधाय । जब ुक ननी सी जान जन लेती है जो
होती है इस समझ दक हर चीर से अनजान तभी से ये समझ उसकी
नसीब दलखना शुर कर दे ते है । जो काम हमारे घर से ही शुर होता है ।
तभी हे घरवालों के दलु वह हो जाती है 'पराया धन'। घरवाले ुक ही बात
तब से ददमाग मे बैठा लेते है दक दकसी भी तरह यह १८ साल की हो जाु
और उसकी शादी करवा दे । इस समझ के दलु वह तक सीदमत है ुक
नारी की दजंदगी।

नारी सृदम है । ये पुरषतां दतक समझ मे पुरष होने का आताहं कार है वह


नही ं होती अगर यह नारी १० महीना असहनीय दद् सहन कर । कहते है
दक जब ुक नारी अपनी सनान को जन दे ती है तो उसे १०२ हडी टू ट
जाने पर जो दद् होता है ऐसे ही दद् सहन करते है । अपनी जान की
परवाह करते बगैर यह ुक नारुक सी जान को जन भी दे ते है और मरते
दम तक उसे सीने से लगा के ढल बनकर अपने बचों को रका करते है ।
ुक पुरष भी अपने मां की दू ध पी कर ही बडा होता है । और यह मां भी
ुक नारी है । अगर यह मां अपनी साथ् की सोच के यह पुरषों को जन
नही ं दे ती तो आज पुरषतां दतक समझ दक सृदम ही ना होती। जब कोई
बहन अपने भाई की कलाई पर 'रका बंधन' के ददन राखी बां धती है तो यह
समझ कहते है दक यह राखी की डोर को बदले मै भाई अपनी बहन की
रका करे गे। लेदकन व् आने पर जो नारुक सी हाथ राखी बां ध सकती है
उसी हाथ दसि् भाई की नही ं अपनी पररवार दक दकसी भी सदस को रका

को शादी की बात होती है तो घरवालों लडके वालों को दहे र दे कर उने
बेच दे ते है और सुकून की सां स लेते है दक चलो कंधों से बोझ उतर गया।
और जब ुक लडका पर दलख के बडा होकर शादी करने की बाद अपने
ही बूंदे मां बाप को वृधदााम छोड आते है । अगर आप अपने बेटे को तरह
अपनी बेटी को भी पढ़ा दलखा कर उसकी सपनों को आसमान छूने मे

मदद करते तो यह बुढ़ापे मे अपनी मां - बाप की सहारा होती। २०१८


मे"नारी-शख्" इसी शब को 'आकिाड् अनुसंधान' दक तरि से "वष्
का सेरा शब का तकमा दमला था"। ुक नारी सृदम है तो पलय भी है ।
शख् है तो दनम्ल भी है । धूप है तो छाया भी है । कठोर है तो कोमल भी
है । लकी है तो काली भी है ।

हम नारी शख् को दे वी रप मे पूजते है , धूमधाम से तौहार मनाते है ।


लेदकन जब पता चलता है दक घर की बह को गभ् मे बेटी है तो उने भूर
मे ही हता कर दे ते है । अगर गलती से लडकी को जन भी है जाती है तो
उस ननी सी जान को मरने के दलु कही ं पर भी छोड दे ते है ।

हम लोग हर साल ८ माच् नारी ददवस मनाते है । सामादजक मीदडया पर,


टीवी पर हर जगह इस ददन नारी की ऊपर नारा, कदवता, रचना से छा
जाते है । पर दसि् ददवस पालन करके नारी दक समान नही ं दी जाती।
अगर सही मे उने समान करना चादहु। उसको उसकी पोषक दे ख के
दवचार मत करो। अशील नाम से संबंदधत ना कर के हर नारी को समान
से संबंदधत करे । नारी को कभी भी कही ं पर असमादनत, अपमादनत होने
से रका करो तभी यह समझ बदलेगी। नारी की पदत नरररया बदलेगी।
तब जा के सही महीनों मे नारी ददवस का असली अथ् यह समझ
समझेगी।

यह पकृदत भी नारी है । नारी हर बुदनयाद की जड है । दजस ददन यह जड


हील जाुगी उस ददन यह दु दनया भी हील जाुगी।
