[QUOTE="Akashdeep Singh, post: 50465, member: 3640"] Womenhood is a great virtue. I sometimes get shocked to see the attitude of our women when they themselves do not take pride in their being a woman and feel pride in immitating males. May be this is the result of socio-economic structure which has previaled in India from a long period of time. Whatever be the reason, women should feel proud of their being a woman as she will be the mother of next generation, she will be the first teacher of children, she will be the representative of the only selfless love that exists in this world and many other wonderful relationships. Personally, I believe that there is a need to bring a change in the psychology of our daugthers, sisters, mothers, etc. Most of the times they are influenced by the useless psychologies shown on TV and Western media (do not consider me the criticiser of everthing western, I appreciate various things that they have better than us). I have learned from my interaction that mostly our women think that immitating western culture is what is called modernism. I do not agree with this, I think modernism comes from the education of the mind and not by the change of appearance. I have also had hard time understanding why women do not respect themselves and keep presenting themselves as a material of consumption. Why do majority of young girls dream about "beauty peagants" etc? What is the benefit of that? Why do women on TV and movies present themselves as a material of consumption? I am shocked by the way girls act on the TV and pop songs (the so called "ETC punjabi" channel was full of it). The more I think, the more I find that the males are at fault. We had the economy and other powers of household in our hands and we have failed our women in imparting them correct knowledge, liberty and honor. What society have we created for women back in Punjab? One may try to excuse the disrespect and bad behaviour of males who do not have sisters towards females at street, at work, at school etc. by saying that "They do not know what a sister is" but I am shocked by males who have multiple sisters at home and once they step outside their house these guys look every girl on the street with a bad eye and pass comments on them. In the midsized towns, the situation back in India is so bad that families are worried even about sending their daugthers to the tuitions alone fearing the guys disturbing their daughters by repeated following her. [B]What good is the culture where the girls cannot even go to study without tension of being teased? [COLOR=Red]Shame on us !! We have failed miserably to provide the status to our women that our Gurus wanted[/COLOR].[/B] This is high time some action be taken to restore the conditions where our women can work, go out, study and do other things individually and without fear of other men, only then they will progress truly. Also, I am of very strong point of view that [B]the allround education of a daughter is very-very important [/B]as when she will grow adult and get married, [B]she will be the first teacher of our next generation of Sikhs.[/B] If she has had the right education, it will pass on to the next generation very naturally. This allround education is not just about studies related to making an excellent career, but also of politics, of religions, of her importance, of her responsibilities of being a woman, of the potential dangers to the mind posed by present world which is full of materialism, carnal lust, selfishness, brainwashing etc. May waheguru give us this understanding and ability to understand the importance of allround education for our girls and and the ability to rear daughters who will be the next "[B]Mai Bhagos[/B]" and show the correct path to the next generation of Sikhs.
