Judge: discrimination against women a global phenomenon

Though the Indian judiciary has always tried to project itself as a 'Great' social reformer and protector of the fundamental rights of the people especially women e.g.Supreme Court in Vishaka's case laid down exhaustive guidelines to prevent sexual harassment of working women in their places of work until enactment of a Legislation for this purpose. Article 44 of the Constitution of India envisages a Uniform Civil Code for all the citizens and to fulfill this dream of the framers Constitution, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has time and again reminded the Legislature to enact the Code. Unfortunately despite all this till date no step has been taken by Parliament to achieve this goal and personal laws opressive to women continue to exisit.God knows why the judiciary has refrained from setting any deadline for the enactment of such a Code or framinng any guidelines as it did in Vishaka's case .Is judiciary social reformer in reality....?.

Its true that even after so many years of Constitionalism women in our country still,predominantly,lead a primitive life.The fruits of liberty,justice, soveriegnty, equality and fundamental rights-social, economic n political, still eludes them in general.It proves beyond doubt that only by enacting laws n statutes the position of women cannot improve.Infact, it requires genuine introspection and concrete steps by the society in general and government in particular.

Discrimination against women started as early as evalution of Mammals;
We can see the rival fights between Male species of mammals especially
advanced species like guarillas, elephants ,lions, tigers etc. The
possesive nature of these species ensure procreation by the fittest
among them. The role females are often subdued; After evaluation of
Mankind, the human Male also subdued their rivals for possesion of
females' leaving no choice for them to select their Partner; The same
jungle rule sustains and even so called advanced societies don't allow
their womenfolk the freedom enjoyed by their Men ; it is anchored
deeply into our cultures through religious suppression; Dare to change
and revolutionise?...............

As far as India is concerned the root cause lies in the fact that the male dominated both housess of governance are yet to digest the need of earmarking 50% of representation for women not even thirty percent.It is a pity that more than 60 years of so-called representative governance has left half the population waiting outside Parliament for their rightful share.So as long as the male domination continues it will reflect in all walks of women's life.Will our female population take a firm stand that they will elect only female representatives or will prefer to abstain from voting , in the course of time it can make some pragmatic change in representation.If the initiative is not comming from top let it start from botom to top.Need less to say that a global presence of discrimination can't simplify justify it's domestic prevalance just because it is a global issue.

On one hand there is cry for equality and on the other the cry is
for reservation.Are woman truly equal to men? Masculinity and
femininity identified and recognized socially is actually different
from the scientific perspective,wherein the determinant factor is
the predominance of androgen or estrogen,the constituents of the
gene. Therefore some men have predominantly female qualities,while
some women have male qualities. In other words, some women are equal
or superior to some men while others are inferior needing support.
The same is the case of men too.Some are equal or inferior to women.
The general impression in vogue since long have been that women are
frail, weak and need support and protection, and this is true even
now in majority of the cases. I would therefore think that a
scientific approach in the matter would be appropriate. Reservation
is in fact meant for the physically,economically or socially weaker
sections of the population.It should be so.
