बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी,
खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी
Between this couplet by freedom fighter and one of the most famous poetess of Hindi literature Subhadra Kumari Chauhan and the Vogue video with Deepika Padukone over women empowerment,I don't know whether the girls have progressed or have become just a copycats sycophants of the west.
You need not look far,you just to need through the three women discussed in the post.Rani Lakshmi Bai and Subhadra Kumari Chauhan fighting for the true "freedom" and Deepika Padukone demanding "freedom" for adultery.
Its true that if male chauvinism was allowed to deride Rani Lakshmi Bai and Subhadra Kumari Chauhan,India's glorious history and literature would have been a bit dimmer.The need is to promote feminist culture.But its really sad if this culture is all about dress,sex and misguided notions of modernity.
One thing is that the video is boring to the core.Secondly it promotes in the name of equal standards few things that are shameful even by men standards.You are not actually equalizing the standards,you are just pulling them down and down.The need is to provide better education,nutrition,amenities and safety to the millions of growing girls.In a society where dowry and sexual harassments are incidents of day-to-day life,the video talks about rights that are unheard of in the east.

Girls have always found utmost respect in the Indian society from ages past.The need is to imbibe back that culture again.This will take considerable effort and education.Meanwhile rather than promoting free sex and adultery,the people behind the video could have done better by promoting faithfulness and love among both the genders.If men are strolling the wrong path,force them to see the light.To encourage women to walk the same path can never be the solution.
Between the modernist designs to see a west in India and the culturalist fantasy of following the Taliban standards,somewhere the ancient land of Sita,Gargi and Padmini is lost long away.
