It’s unfair

 It's unfair

It's unfair when we tell the same age old stories and epics in the new world,

It's unfair when we have deep hidden footprints of patriarchy in our routine conversations,

It's unfair to tell the same story of Draupadi's cheerharan to the new gens,

Let's have Draupadi fight back on her own and become the queen in the new story,

It's unfair to tell the story of Sita giving agneepareeksha to prove her purity,

A women's purity is way above the thought of virginity,

A women's purity is to be confident, independent, opinionated,

Fighting all the norms and rules set to define her worth,

A women is a human, not an object to be questioned by methods,

It's unfair to what has happened to women historically,

Unfair on not having her own identity,

Unfair on moving her identity on marrying,

Unfair on moving from her family to some new family,

Rather we say creating her own identity,

Rather we say getting together two families,

It’s unfair,

When we say feminisim is only about financially independent women,

Rather we have a new feminisim,

Thats fighting for the homemakers,

They are the army behind the country’s workforce,

Enabling us to work full time,

A feminism that fights for the home CEOs,

Their rights, their pride, their recognition,

The efforts invaluable, unseen but with the most skills,

Logistics, inventory, operations and supply chain,

Of kitchens and homes,

Marketing, administration, 

Of their spouse and kids,

Budgeting and finance,

That takes care of us in hard times,

Project management,

In all the grand family events,

Product management,

In cooking delicacies,

Networking and coordination,

That pitches our families to a next level,

And gets our families all the opportunities,

Mentoring and training,

To live better in our lives,

And most of all,

Building the next generation,

That is grounded to roots,

But with flying colors in creation,

That has the values traditional,

But with a twist of modernism,

That sets an example for the world,

To move towards idealism,

It’s unfair

That they are not recognised well,

They deserve much more,

In money, awards and achievements,

They are rightfully entitled to have their share in the family income,

By the policy and the system, not by the ask or the needs

It would never be enough for what worth they are,

But its time now, value them, recognise them, award them,

For the precious time and invaluable efforts that they give,

They are the selfless army behind the scenes,

In building this nation,

Buidling all of us.

Its unfair,

That they feel guilty to live and spend for themselves,

That they devote for their loved ones every piece of them,

And not able to take care of themselves,

The time is passing , the world is changing,

But the concepts are same,

Its the new world,

There should be new policies,

New concepts,

In practice, not only in thoughts,

New feminism,

For the women not in the workforce, but in the real force,

Doing the real chores,

Making the homemakers financially and mentally independent,

Is the real fight for equality,

Not by giving them another job,

But by letting them feel they’re doing best full time job for the world
