Women as tool for econimic gain


Society of India is as variegated as India itself.People here follow diametrically typical contradictory traditions not only in rural areas but also in urban areas.These traditions characteristically influence mode of living and thinking of people.Historically, horizontal stratification of society is rigid and fixed compared to vertical division on economic parameters.This dilemma is quite noticeable even in economically well developed strata with hypocrisy.Indian society is unique hypocrite society.
People here have organized in a society that is a consequence of unequal distribution of socio-economic, cultural and political gains. Opportunism and mistrust is hallmark of social mil lieu.Revelation is very much concealed.Deliberated ignorance about self is projected to harvest the benefits for which one is not qualified.
Under such circumstances fair sex is compelled to show response as dictated by man folks.Two instances I quote here which I came across recently.A married woman approached a notary for attesting an affidavit declaring herself as a widow. When notary enquired about her status as widow on seeing "SINDOOR" at her forehead.She ashamedly admitted that she is now married and her new husband compelled her for widow pension despite her resistance.Unemployment allowance is being grabbed by housewives who never tried for any job in the job market and their husbands are against for accepting any kind of job.Interestingly, all documents are prepared by their man folks for en cashing easy money earmarked for needy unemployed.Is this not a hypocrisy?
