To respect, empower and protect women is a daily business today. Some cries loud and propagates women’s equal right for few hidden motives; some advocates human rights of women for political edge and advancement and some for cruel purposes. Newspaper and news channels abound in women safety awareness programs like gender sensitization, feticide, dowry, molestations, rape, abduction, discrimination, domestic violence and equality. The conditions seem least transformed, though we can braggart of a quantum achievement in the enormous challenge.
The women’s role can never be negated in the advancement of civilization and in eternity of human race. They outshone fellow men when and where they were required through all odds and obstacles.
They are half of the total humanity. The world without women is beyond imagination. To ignore and disrespect women is to deny the fast and fertile human growth. To subdue them is to strangle one self.
The book ‘OUR SECOND SELF’ tries to find their worthy position in the course of human development. It also gives an appeal to make them partners in the long race of humanity.
