Woman ,Womanhood and the World Around Her ?

Yet another International Woman's Day,we are observing at a time when even a female child of less than three years old becomes an object of sexual gratification for perverts .There is not a place that has become a safer place for woman, not even her own residence. Truth is strange , stranger than fiction. I sound rather grim ,you may think . But I hear only grim stories of atrocities against women these days.
They say that world has progressed by leaps and bounds and that it is at their feet. Today, man can do and undo anything that he pleases . Impossible is nothing for this man The bygone ages dwindle in their significance when matched with his performance, be it in Science, Technology or in any other field of life .Yes ,it is an emphatic 'Yes' but with some reservations.
The general perception is that as we evolve in the cycle of life , we become more refined in our caliber ,taste , and instinctive nature and that our approach to others will be marked by courtesy and civility .But what happens around us day in and day out ,proves the point that we have advanced scientifically and technologically only ,no emotional refinement .There is some kind of a mismatch between our intellectual growth and emotional development. In other words , our personality has attained disproportionate growth .Many of us, not all, fail to recognize the rights of women and treat them as inferior. Ironically, our country has the rich culture of venerating women.
At this time of the day when I am doing this post , I get deeply disturbing news about the atrocities against women in my home state of Kerela..On this day ,when we celebrate International Woman's Day ,I have many apprehension about the safety of woman. Nothing can save her.
It is time for the next Incarnation of Lord Vishnu (Kalki) or The Second Coming of Christ .Let us wait for it to happen.
