No Care,No education,No food,No self-respect,No dignity,No Choice,No Power!!

It was really disheartening to see a news on NDTV about the condition of women in India.The lives of these women in rural India is a struggle, right from their birth.
No Care, No education, No food, No self-respect, No dignity, No Choice, No Power, Nothing - but insults and dishonors is what they get! What is their fault?? Why .. Just Why.. is society so cruel to them..?? No Man can tolerate such a behavior with his sister, then why doesn't he understand that the girl he is torturing - mentally and physically - is also someone's sister, daughter,mother and above all - a Human! She also has the right to be HAPPY, the right to LIVE! In the Report, I watched today, they were showing the different phases of life's struggle - a woman has to go through before reaching a stage where she has to actually beg god for death.
As a child, she is not accepted in the family - No Food, No Education, Sometimes SOLD for money too!
When she grows a little up, she is either married(without her knowledge and consent, of course), or raped by someone in the village - which in turn gives others the right to call her 'BADCHALAN' (of a bad character!) and sometimes, a child too...
And the pain doesnot end here, the child for whom she has done hell lot of sacrifices, refuses to support her when she needs care and attention - he even refuses to give her food!
The story comes back to from where it started - No Food, No Care, No self-Respect,No Dignity, No Choice, No Power!
Is this why we are born as humans?? Aren't Animals much better than we are??

Keep thinking!

I agree.. but even the men are not educated enough to understand all this.. they have seen this happen to their moms n sisters and think now its their turn to do so.. they want to show their superiority by doing all this.. but alas! they dont realize its not like that.. If n only IF they were SENSIBLE! The world would have been such a better place!
