About 72 years ago we Indians got independence from the British Rule. But are our women enjoying an independent life today ?
Your wife, your daughters, your daughters in law are they enjoying enough independence ?
Of course, our women in this generation do enjoy a great amount of freedom than the previous generations. However, whether we are Hindus, Muslims or Christians, I think there is still a great degree of male chauvinism in our society.
We should take steps to liberalise our women more, if we want to consider ourselves as truly educated people.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ALL.

World War II started male chauvinism
(Part of article below)
The balance of the workforce changed during World War II through the dramatic rise of women’s participation as men left their positions to enlist in the military and fight in the war. After the war ended and men returned home to find jobs in the workplace, male chauvinism was on the rise, according to Cynthia B. Lloyd. Previously, men had been the main source of labour, and they expected to come back to their previous employment, but women had stepped into many of their positions to fill the void, says Lloyd.
Lloyd and Michael Korda have argued that as they integrated back into the workforce, men returned to predominantly holding positions of power, and women worked as their secretaries, usually typing dictations and answering telephone calls.
This division of labor was understood and expected, and women typically felt unable to challenge their position or male superiors, argue Korda and Lloyd.
