Happy Women's day???

Isnt this over hyped???
Even today in India female foeticide exists to a large extent
The lower class practice this after the girl is born and the highly educated and rich Indians travel to Dubai and Malaysia to check the gender and if its a girl, abortion is done immediately
SAD SAD SAD
Domestic violence, now that's not restricted to India...its a universal issue which is very common
Just read that Womens day is celebrated in Pakistan...what about the women who were attacked by acid in Pakistan???
Its also celebrated in Afghanistan..we all know how are majority of women treated in Afghanistan!!!

In India, as well its the same scene, we should remember that for every Kiran Mazumdar, there are 1000's of Shipra...i was touched by her story of ill treatment by her hubby and in-laws (http://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/television/winner-of-masterchef-india-from-downtrodden-housewife-to-celebrity-chef#full)
For every Dr Kalpana Chawla there are 100's of baby falak
Statistics from the National Crime Records Bureau of India reveal one dowry death in India every 77 minutes and one case of cruelty by husband and relatives every nine minutes!!!

I believe that every day should be celebrated as Women's day and yes more power to women everyday coz we have a long way to go...we will reach there someday :)
