True Empowerment- Is it only Eutopic

 TRUE EMPOWERMENT.


Freedom
Confidence
Resources.

Most important- EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES.

Empowerment is today used very often.
A Trendy word in social media.

Many Ted talks, podcasts, Panel discussions are conducted.
Eminent personalities vehemently discuss on Empowerment.

Women Empowerment
Minority Empowerment
Economically weaker section Empowerment.
Socially backward Empowerment.
Third Gender Empowerment.

Discussions only on stage.

But......

Is our Society having mindset for Empowerment?????

India is a caste based,Patriarchal Society.

A particular mindset since years is engraved in our minds about Gender, Caste,Religion.

When initially the country had different rulers ,dynasties and Kingdoms who divided the Society for their power and convenience.....
Later the British Raj shrewdly used the " Divide and Rule" policy to rule over the country for centuries.
Today.....
Political parties have used the social media platforms to spread radicalism and false propaganda to gain vote banks.

In the illusionary interest of " Empowerment "......
Women reservation- in education, travel,employment, housing,monetary benefits is distributed amongst Women population in each state.
Quota and Reservation- Socially backward,Economically weaker and Minority communities are given benefits in name of Empowerment and upliftment.

Does Empowerment need Reservation?

Does distributing Quotas and Freebies( Free Bus travel, free meals,cash incentives, free electricity, free housing) actually Empower the Society?

Empowerment in real meaning is.....

Equal opportunity to resources,

Freedom to make own choices for self upliftment

Control of one's own life.

Represent one's own interests.

Is our Society giving this Empowerment to every woman in the society?

Is every person belonging to any caste,Religion,color, position, status,region,gender( Msle,female and others) has accessibility to every aspect and opportunity .....resources.....in life?

In name of Empowerment, the society is being divided by Reservation and Quotas.

As a Woman, I demand Empowerment- ....

I want equal opportunity and freedom to all resources .
I demand to have authority to decide for myself and make my own choices for my upliftment.

I demand Freedom to work as hard and put  equally efforts as my male counterpart.

I demand to be treated at same level as my other colleagues.

I don't want discrimination nor Reservation.
I don't want quotas nor Freebies.

I demand Equality in mindset of the society.

Accepting me as I am...


When a Society becomes Equal...

With respect to Gender, Caste,Religion,Power, Position, Color, Background.....
No Discrimination or Discretion.

Only then......
Empowerment is truly defined in our Society.

Real vs Reel.

  In the " REAL" World. I had been to a condolence meeting of a Senior Doctor. So many people had gathered there to pay their last respects. It was overwhelming to see that the Senior Doctor had touched so many lives....and that day was the proof of his Good Work throughout his life. I went to offer condolences to his son...." Sir earned lot of Good will by his enormous benevolent work." His son replied" That's what he earned only in his whole life.Only Good Will.No money." What is important in our Life? Today,our young generation is immersed in Digital media and Artificial Intelligence. They are more involved and connected to ' Reel" and " Virtual media. They have lakhs of Followers who 👍 Like them on Instagram and X. They communicate majority of their day on Social platforms with unknown strangers. But in Real world.... They remain aloof and secluded from surrounding and society. Absolute no interaction nor communication. ...

Mind our Mind

 Mind our Mind. Kapil Dev was once called by Dilip Vengsarkar to bowl for Young 15yr old Sachin Tendulkar at the Shivaji Park nets. Kapil Dev was at his prime. He hesitantly bowled to the young 15yr old. After 1 or 2 bowls casually bowled,Kapil Dev bowled a fast paced Yorker. Sachin just flicked the ball like a seasoned batsman. Kapil Dev exclaimed" This boy not only has talent.He also has good control over his mind.He will surely go a long way in Cricket." Indeed,GOAT Sachin Tendulkar proved right Kapil Dev's words. Many do have talent . Many have the skill. Few manage to reach the top. Handful become Legends. It's not only talent and skills.... Intelligence and Brilliance... Which make an individual successful.  It's more important how a person controls one's mind and emotions under all circumstances.  In our country,importance is given more towards education and marks. Ranks and Grades. The old school of parenting and curriculum both were regimental.Absolu...
