Why India is still presenting a Male Dominating Culture ?

When I gave the example of Sita and Rama I wasn't looking at them as Godly beings. Though we have made Gods out of them absorbing the content of Ramayana into what is called as "avataravada" or God's descent onto Earth that is so fundamental to Smartha or Vaishnava Vaishnavism. If you go by the text of Valmiki Ramayana, Valmiki wanted to leave a role model for a purushottama. It was Narada who suggested the example of Sri Rama. Ramayana was written to set up ideals for humanity at a time when the social practices were anything but what Rama stood for. Take polygamy for instance. Even in Rama's time including his own father Dasharatha, Kings and any one who could afford had more than one wife. But Rama established that the ideal for humanity was monogamy, an idea that was far ahead of its time. I was saying that Sita was very obedient by that I mean subdued, and had unquestioning acquiesence to Rama's word. Whereas by Dwapara you have Draupadi( I am not here alluding to polyandry at all which is more of an aberrarion even within the context of MB. My emphasis was about Draupadi not only questioning her husbans's ways but literally nagging him like a Kaliyuga wife. Whither domination. I am questioning your conclusion that there is male domination at all. Every passing day we have marriages breaking, neither man can tolerate hia woman nor vice versa and IMO [B]male domination is a myth perpetrated by women[/B]. Ever since women have started emerging on the social scene in the form of a working woman whether she is only a Servant Maid or a CEO like Indra Nooyi, male domination has gone out the window. In fact even politically India is more equitable than any other country as for womwen's equality is concerned.

Here in the Philippines women is equal to men to some extent. Actually our president is a woman and they also have the same power and right as man. Women here are not discriminated in every profession. What men can do we believe that women can do it also. I don't know why other countries are still traditional. Women here has a voice and enjoy every right in our society.

Thank you gadhisunu for your response. I agree like in the ramayana sita was the coy bride who never questioned sri rama on his decisions. But they are divine beings. Sri rama is also true to her. He never turned back to other women. Can you tell how many sri rama chandra moothy's are there in this world. I guess it will be very very meagre. if the males behaves like sri rama then you can expect the women as sita the coy bride.

ok well ....then have you got it ....that ...we are not presenting male domination ...but it is our culture and its not here in your age but long time .... Best of luck for trying .....

Ofcoures it is really true and the most happening in india. Being an indian women i am also a victim. You cannot simply say from what ever you see , or whatever you hear or whatever you speak .. you just enquire and try to know the truth mister.

thank you friend for your response.

thank you danoluma for your response

thank you gracefuldove for your response. women professionals had a better change when compared to women in the village side.

ofcourse you are right.. most of the indian women are brought up in such a way that they have to worship their husband more than the god. But time has changed and the educated women nowadays starts questioning. i think your friend's wife must be bothered and worried much about her kids and their future

Thank you vijayanths for your resonse.
