Leaving Patriarchy behind

Today, we celebrate the 70^th years of freedom which have brought about a lot of change in the nation once known as the “Golden Sparrow”. Although there are only regular birds left now but still we find the orthodox mindset in many parts of county mostly rural, there are still people who think that men are better than women, like they have some kind of special set of senses that the other half does not poses. It has already been 70 years of freedom, freedom in which was won together by supporting and standing-by each other, we should at-least respect think of them and say no all the discrimination and crime whose major victims are Indian women.

There have been a lot of changes in the role of women in our society from being just a household woman to representing the nation in Olympic games, here is a story of a brave girl from India who made a difference.

Dipa Karmakar

She has made the nation proud by achieving what was has never been done by any other Indian  She is the first Indian female gymnast ever to compete in the quadrennial extravaganza, and the first Indian gymnast to do so in 52 years. She attained 4th position in Women's Vault Gymnastics event of Rio Olympics 2016 with an overall score of 15.066. She has also won a bronze medal at 2014 commonwealth games which were held at Glasgow. Ms.Dipa is one of only five women who have successfully landed the Produnova, the most difficult vault currently performed in women's gymnastics. She also won a bronze medal at the Asian Gymnastics Championships and finished fifth at the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, both firsts for India.

Brave women like her are an inspiration to all the women who are suppressed by their own people and to those are victims of patriarchy and negligence. Boy or a girl both must be encouraged at all sorts of activities. You never know what kind of potential is hidden in them, being a guardian one must take care of all the basic need needs of a not discriminate among them. Today a mere girl of 22 from a small town in Tripura has taken the first step to victory and will be followed by many young women whom she has inspired.
