This Republic Day, we have seen something which we cud never even dream of since the past 60yrs. 2 distinct aspects stood out. Which everybody has seen but Im sure no one has digested. 01. Women leading the men's contingent. And, 02. All women contingent of the 3 services. This wud not have happened if not from a directive from the PMO and subsequently the Defense Ministry. This is the amount of stress the present govt is putting on the overall development of women. In case some women fail to see or do not want to see this aspect. The galaxy of women leaders which BJP presents at the moment is 2nd to none. Nirmala Seetaraman, Meenakshi Lekhi, Kiran Bedi, Gujarat CM Anandiben, Vasundhara Raje, Uma Bharati, Pinky Anand, Smriti Irani, Asefa Khan, Najma Heptullah, Hema Malini, and many more. Secondly, as per my previous comment, any comment made by a person shud be taken in the right context, and shud never be generalized. I myself have 3 daughters of my own. Im a hard core BJP Supporter, carefully developed since the past 20-22yrs, and will be so till my death. Does it mean that, I shall ask my daughters to have 4 kids each? Like me, there r millions of BJP Members & Supporters with no kids, or 1 kid or 2 kids. All of us wil be forced to have 4 kids??? All of us who have daughters will send our daughters to manage the choola-chakka and become children rearing machines??? How silly can one's imagination get??? And, if u go as per this statement or Bhagwat ji's statements, the 1st person who does not qualify to be in the BJP is Shri Modiji, or Jaitley or Meenakshi Lekhi, or Nirmala Seetaraman, etc, etc, etc. Because he (Modiji) has stayed as a bachelor with no kids. 99% of present BJP Members or Supporters will not qualify, to be part of BJP if we go as per their statements. We all come from patriarchal or matriarchal societies where we have had the privilege of spending some time with our valued grandparents. And being grandparents, they wud always advise our parents, as to why they r giving us so much freedom? or, why sending the girl to college instead of marrying them? or why coming home late? or why the delay in having kids? or why the delay in marrying? etc, etc, etc. My query is, do we stop talking to our grandparents who have such regressive views about us? Do we stop eating with them? Do we kick them out of the house? What our parents did, or rather do is take these comments in context and ask their parents to mind their own business if their regressive advises increases beyond a limit. But, does the love our grandparent have towards us decrease at any point, even when we wear jeans and roam in front of them??? I personally feel this bias against the BJP by certain women is self imposed, wrongly attributed, and heavily influenced by the Secular Media. The sooner those women come out of such 'self destructive' views and trample the Secular Views they r tied to umbilical, we as a nation cannot progress.
