Saluting the spirit of Women hood - International Women's Day

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, an Indian spiritualist and yogi from the 19th-century was known to worship his wife. From Sita to Kittur Chennamma, from Rani Jhansi to Savitribai Phule, all are not only notable women but also their contribution to social transformation and awareness had been gigantic.

Gandhiji always said – Intellectually, mentally, and spiritually, woman is equivalent to a male and she can participate in every activity.

India always has been the acceptor of the concept of the Mother Goddess. Women in India have always been honoured and respected. Only in India a Woman is worshipped as Shakti, Saraswati and Lakshmi. No other country in the world worships women hood in the way it has been always done in India. In the Hindu Mythology, women are given absolutely 50% of Mental, Spiritual and physical space in the life of a male.

India always has had been fortunate to produce many great women - Auvaiyar, Annie Besent, Vijayalakshmi Pandit, Mother Teresa, Sarojini Naidu to Indira Gandhi,  P.T.Usha, Kalpana Chawla, Indra Nooyi, Chhavi Rajawat to Pratibha Patil and many more in the Indian Corporate quarter who have proved to be more than a match to their counterparts. Their contribution to Indians and the society in whole and to Indian Women in Particular is invaluable and priceless.

In the Modern Indian society women play a significant and impressive role, even challenging the males. The most important role they play is in building a family and keeping it together. Also they play a major role in the upbringing of the society. Indian woman today is emerging out of her conventional role, sticking only to the kitchen and are realizing their infinite talent and potential and have begun to take major responsibilities in all the walks of life.

Recently, at a function, Bollywood Actor Sonam Kapoor Said - I feel that women today, here and in India’s smaller cities, rural areas and everywhere, are our everyday heroes. They are bold, brave, standing out and empowering themselves. They are compassionate, giving and sensitive to the needs of others around.

An Indian woman is gorgeous, tender, caring, loving yet powerful. Indian society today looks up to their women and expects them to take a lead, which is gradually happening.

When India becomes a superpower, definitely there will be more significant contribution from great women.

Let’s all, across India salutes the spirit of their women hood, their achievements and their unlimited sacrifices too, not only today, but everyday and that would be the true way to celebrate International Women's Day.
