ESSAY
It is universally acknowledged fact that woman is not a frail creature. She is as strong as men are. She can do wonders in different walks of life if she is provided with opportunities to excel. People having medieval thinking believe that woman is inferior to man. They treat her as sub-human. Such people give rise to gender inequality in society. While a rational and logical one knows that woman has a great contribution in the progress of the world. In fact, no nation can touch the height of success without active participation of woman in day to day affairs of life Great nations ensure equal rights to both man and woman. Their leaders are well aware of the fact that woman can stand side by side with man to make their country strong and great In the Third World, woman is a mere puppet in the hands of man. She is unable to use her talent for the progress and prosperity of her country. That is why. Third World is lagging behind in different walks of life In 21st century, women have proved their might in different fields of life. Many a woman is working as engineers. doctors, scientists and even head of the state: Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, is one of the strongest women in the world Currently, she is ruling thousands of men Now, it would be impractical to say that men working under her are weak. In the same way, no one can generalize that woman is a feeble entity. The statement frailty thy name is woman' is devoid of logic Once, Napoleon Bonaparte remarked about the importance of woman, "Give me educated mother, I will give you educated nation."
Moreover, if one peeps into history, one realizes that woman is not weak There were many women who worked for the betterment and welfare of their nation. Women did not leave men alone in testing times. They even fought wars and defeated their enemies. Certain women also proved their administrative skills in past Rani of Jhansi was a strong-minded woman. She defeated her enemies on many occasions. She sacrificed her life while defending her motherland So, it will be unjust to say that woman is fickle minded.
Furthermore, creation of Pakistan is the result of untiring and consistent efforts of the Muslims of subcontinent. Many Muslim leaders sacrificed a lot to get freedom They give their time, wealth and peace of mind to get freedom. Pakistan movement was successful due to sincere efforts of Muslims. Role of women in Pakistan cannot be ignored as well Muslims got independence due to struggle and determination of women. Women stood beside men to get rid of British rule. As a result, Pakistan came into being.
Similarly, there were many women who became great writers in the world. Women create masterpieces of literature owing to their strong sense of observation. Some women writers were realist in their approach towards life. They came across serious flaws in their society. They wrote different books in which they criticized follies and absurdities of their people. In this way, they acted as reformers of their society Virginia Woolf, JK Rowling. Humera Ahmad and Banu Qudsia are names to be mentioned in this regard. These women writers proved that woman is a strong creature on the earth.
Benazir Bhutto was a strong daughter of nation. She was a symbol of democracy. She stood against aristocratic forces of society Benazir challenged the rule of dictator who was a usurper. She struggled hard and became the first woman prime minister of Pakistan. She always believed in democracy as a best revenge Benazir was the pioneer of first woman bank in the history of Pakistan It would not be wrong to say that she was the voice of voiceless In the end, she lost her life for a strong democracy in the land of the pure.
Likewise there is no doubt that a knowledgeable person gives due respect to woman He is of the view that all human beings are equal Knowledge makes him rational. He thinks that man and woman are two important pillars of society While an illiterate one regards woman as a playful thing. He is not ready to give woman equal status in society. He develops a biased opinion against woman and propagates that woman is always dependent on man She cannot do anything on her own Famous quote of Muhammad Ali Jinnah is enough for illiterate ones to change their attitudes towards woman. The Quaid said, "No nation can rise to the height of glory unless your women are side by side with you."
Meanwhile, science and technology have revolutionized the whole world Science has brought man from darkness to light Science has made man pragmatic and wise. All scientific inventions and development were not only the result of man's struggle Woman also played an instrumental role in different fields of science Woman scientists put their body and soul on the line to facilitate life on the earth. Women like Marie Curie shall always be remembered in the world She won Nobel peace prize for her work on radioactivity Such audacious women prove that they are stronger than men
Apart from it. people generally believe that sports are man's domain Women of this modern age have buried this concept in the depth of Mariana Trench (Pacific Ocean) Nowadays, women have become sports ambassadors in different regions of the world Women are able to play different games. Different women have won accolades in various sports competitions. Cricket was earlier considered a man's sport. Currently, more than eight countries have their women cricket team. Serena Williams and Maria Sherapova are world renowned tennis stars. They are known as courageous women all over the world where thousands of men have no identity.
In addition to it, mountaineering is considered man's profession. Sir Edmund Hillary was the first person to conquer Mount Everest It does not mean that women are behind men in this field. A few great women were even able to master this tough profession. They ascended different peaks in the world Jinko Taibi, a Japanese woman, reached the summit of Mount Everest. Despite being a woman, she was able to do this miracle second time when she was in her seventies Recently, Sameena Baig, a Pakistani mountaineer, hoisted Pakistani flag at the highest peak of the world. Hence, it becomes clear that woman is not frail.
In this modem age, women are serving in armed forces of different countries Previously, it was accepted that woman was too delicate to fight wars. Only few women participated in different battles Nowadays, ladies are expert in warfare They know how to operate lethal weapons. Some women are pilots. They are always there to defend their country against foreign aggression through their flying skills Women are part and parcel of army even in the Third World countries. This situation leads to inference that woman is an adventurous as well as a daring entity.
It is pathetic that women are declared weak in feudal societies Feudalists do not respect women. They want to keep them in the chains of slavery. They firmly believe that women are not to be educated. They do not allow authorities to establish girl schools in their locality. Such feudalists are mentally sick. They do not know the reality of the world. They are living in complete darkness In some of the cases, girls have broken the chains of slavery. They have defeated feudal mind-set by achieving their goals while living in feudal societies.
Lastly, broadly speaking, both man and woman are equal. It depends upon what kind of opportunities one is provided with A man remains backward in. underdeveloped societies. On the other hand, a woman may succeed in life if she is provided a positive environment to exploit her talent. So, one cannot regard one superior to other Hence, man and woman are equal, success of each one of them relies on the type of brought up which they get perform different tasks at the same time If she is imparted quality education, she To sum up, it can be confidently said that woman is not weak. She can can work for the development of her country Someone has rightly said that woman is a nation builder. Woman can bring positive change in the world. She has power to break the chains of slavery and barbarism. This quote makes crystal clear that woman is not a frail creature "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world."
