Indian Society and Motherhood

"Woman" a very beautiful and precious creation of God. But unfortunately, this beautiful creation is not treated beautifully in our society. If I start writing about the life of women since she born than it is a very vast topic to discuss, but let me bring some glimpse of the most beautiful  and turning point of every woman's life, and that is "Motherhood"

"Motherhood" a very beautiful and precious gift of God to a woman. And it is a matter of her choice too. Though Expectations and experiences of motherhood are different from woman to woman.

Being a Mother is the main turning point of women's life. After that, her whole life, her priorities and thinking has been changed. Not only her thinking but people's mentality and point of view towards her also been changed. Here I am exploring some facts, situations and mentality which every woman have to face after wearing the crown of a mother.

Indian society is full of various ritual and culture and the main victim of it is a woman. every time By hook or by cook she needs to follow some rules and traditions. There are so many ladies out there who becomes a mother for the first time,  shared their experience regarding it, and it sounds they feel really very helpless sometimes.

Same as coin motherhood having two sides too. After the born of baby, our so-called traditional society thinks that the women have to forget her freedom to live her life on her own. Even every little thing she desires came to her with the tag of "conditions applied". Working women need to leave their job and have to look after kids and her family only, and if she wants to work, then she has to face so many criticisms, which forces her to give up sometimes. 

Due to continuous criticism, she feels so frustrated and mentally broken that she can not even concentrate on her routine responsibilities. The saddest thing of our society that the women are the only biggest critic of another woman. Once you become a mother, there is a long list of do's and dont's has been handed over to you by this society. You are supposed to not allowed to do such things of your choice just because you are a mother now.

In this digital era and modernization of society, people are trying to reduce the generation gap and cope up with the new thinking, people are accepting new changes and new thinking of today's generation, but these people belong to a very small portion of our society.  There is still a huge part of society is full of people who stick to their rigidness, and to change their mind is almost impossible.

Women of today's era are well educated and very ambitious, she can manage everything on her own, yes she needs guidance but it should be given politely. And if you try to control her, she feels suffocated, it's like you cut her wings and put her in a locked cage so that she can't fly again. 

Please don't do this, if you find any woman around you who is ambitious or willing to do something for her independency or dignity, please do support her and respect her thinking. Being a mother it is not easy for her to manage all at once but still, she is trying to manage work and getting success in it too. 

We have so many successful mothers in India who did tremendous work in her field and us proud of them. At last, I just want to say  that "don't give up ladies, you are the biggest  inspiration of your child, Go ahead, cross your boundaries if needed, you have enough power to change the world, just have faith in you."
