Gone are the days when people use to discriminate for the kind of job you will be getting based on your gender!
Celebrate 8th March, with your special lady and make her feel the importance in your life, because they are special! Let’s make this Women’s Day special for every mother, daughter, sister, wife or friend, who has taught us so much throughout their lives and never complained even a single bit.
Women are proving to be more influential than a man in any and every field they choose to step in, be it politics, entertainment, sports, business, or jurisdictional. Today’s woman is a perfect combination of courage, passion, determination, and truth.
Where at one place women have earned their rights and true identity after fighting for so long and proving to be better than any man, on the other hand, they have also proved their worth of making that right decision, to step into any field and demonstrate their power and equality with them.
Indian women are still perceived as a quiet, docile type of women, clad in a saree with long hair and gold jewelry, who loves to stay inside the house and taking care of the family is the happiest thing about her life. But what the world doesn’t know is that these stereotyped Indian women are marking her true distinctiveness upon them.
