Educate Women!

When it comes to population, India is the second largest. But for education, it is a backward country. In past, women did not receive any education at all. They weren’t allowed to come out of their houses too. Domestic works were their only education. And how many times is this issue questioned?

During the British rule in India some noble social thinkers like Raja Ram Mohan Ray, Iswara Chandra Vidyasagar was famous reformers who gave emphasis on the education of women. They put forth an argument to the men, questioning, why women weren’t allowed to be educated.

I believe, man and woman are like the two sides of a coin as, without one, the other cannot exist. They help each other in every sphere. Be it family, love, moral support, understanding, money, or any issue. So why isn’t education given to both man and woman? Further, since women are the mothers of the future generation, they must be well treated. It’s the least the society can do. If women are uneducated, the future generations will be uneducated, and for this reason the Greek warrior Napoleon once said, "Give me a few educated mothers; I shall give you a heroic race."

In day to day life, the real problems are faced first by women and then the same problems are conveyed to men for solution. If the women are educated, they can solve all the problems of their houses. Very often, the working men of some families become handicapped in unfortunate accidents. In that situation, the complete burden of the family rests on the women of the families. To meet this exigency women should be educated. They should be employed in different spheres. Women can work as teachers, doctors, lawyers and administrators. Educated women are good mothers.

Education of women can be helpful in eradicating many social evils such as dowry problem, unemployment problem, etc. Social peace can easily be established. So lets hope we educate our women and enhance the development of our country.
