A woman was revered as a Goddess in ancient times. But in recent times, is she still a Goddess? Is she seen as an epitome to represent a nation? Is she still considered the nation’s pride? Not anymore. Rather than being perceived as a harbinger of happiness, she is seen as an albatross in the whole world. Her life has become worse than purgatory.
The beleaguered women have no ray of hope or no reason for happiness. This is an occurrence in Bihar (one of many states in India) where many female babies are killed after birth. There was a woman who always dreamt of a baby girl when she was pregnant. Later, she dreamt of the baby saying that she didn’t want to come out into this merciless world. She didn’t want to become a burden to her family, and she didn’t want to be killed as soon as she came into this brutal world. She didn’t want her baby to suffer, so she hanged herself the next day.
This is the plight of many women across the world. Her life is in peril. Every minute, every second, she leads a spasmodic and erratic life. Every day, we come across how women suspected of infidelity are brutally killed. The world is having a heaving dearth of chivalrous men. But she never raised her voice against the brutality she underwent. She still waits for a new scintillation to come into her life with a hope for mirth and gaiety to enter her life.
