Meri tanhayio mein aksar aap ka hi zikr hota hain.
Har ek udaas lamho mein aap hi ki khwaish hoti hain.

Aapke baazuio mein simatne ki chahat hain hamari
Har ek armaan ko puri hone ki khwaaish hain hamari

Har ek lamhe mein samaye ho aap……
Isliye har ek lamhe ko jeene ki chahat hain hamari.

Aapki har ek yaadon ko sameta hain bare soke se.
Ab is soke ko banaye rakhne ki hasrat hain hamari.

Aap se bichar ne ka malal hain is tanhaan dil ko
Isliye Dil ki har ek baat ab lagti hai bamani

Jhapakte huein palko mein aap hi ka ehsas hota hain
Isliye ab palko ko band rakhna aadat hain hamari.

Raat ki oos ki har boond se thandak milti hain aapki
Ab raat ko uth uth kar jaagne ki fitrat ho gayi hain hamari.

Aapki surat ko dekh paate hain hum kab
Isliye intezaar mein aapki parchai ko dhoonda majboori hain hamari.

Dil ke dard ko chupana bhi ho gaya hain muskil.
Na bataya to aapka door jaana kismat mein hain hamari.

SHINNING INDIA

We the women of India face many social stigmas, taboos and problems. But today’s India there are so many things changing. Earlier there were many protests for girl child to do studies. But it’s changed; now girls were also doing studies with the boys and doing jobs and glorifying India by reaching space station for instance Sunita Williams.
We can also see changes in our politics. Our first Indian woman president is Pratibha Patil and our first leader of ruling party congress has also a woman president Madam Sonia Gandhi. But is it a new face of India? No because this changes are very slow and steady and this changes has been came only in urban cities of India. What about rural areas?
Indian women are going through with the pain of having social stigmas, taboos and problems, like witch hunting, dowry-death, child marriage, honour killing, and lack of education of girls, trafficking and malnutrition of women.

The most dangerous and humiliating problem which is rapidly eating Indian society is female infanticide. We can see the difference in sex ratio of male and female population in every region of India. From 2001 census; we can get the information, there were 35 million more males than females and for every 1000 baby boy there is only 927 infants.
Task is very tough and complicated because we can understand that if we need to change the women condition we have to transform the mentality of Indian people. Have we ever thought what kind of mentality Indian women and men possess? This problem is not only related to lack of education of Indian people, this kind of brutality is also doing by educated people. It is not only done by lower class and middle class people of India. It has been also done by upper class. The main reason for having boy rather than girl Indian people still think that boy is medium from which parents can go heaven and only boy can become solely the bread earner of family. In India 52% of women are illiterate (UNDESA, 2006)

Dowry is like a booming industry for Indian parents who have son and an unavoidable thing for the parents of a girl child. In every 75 minutes, one woman is a victim of dowry death (National Crimes Bureau of India, 2004). There are so many child marriages are going on we can see it from the survey that in India 45% of women still being forced into marriage before the age of 18 (UNICEF 2007) and every now days we are getting news of giving woman a social stigma of witch and forcefully they have to eat garbage. So many women and girl child having fatal death because they have malnutrition body and every 7 minutes one woman dies in childbirth (UNICEF 2007).

We are watching all the cool dude and fashionable new generation are they aware what kind of problem facing India now. The new generation is spending lots of time and money for boozing in pub. They idolizing their hero and heroines and main concern having size zero figure and medias main breaking news is always comes that which heroine have size zero figure and which hero eating how many eggs to have eight pack abs.
So much disparity is in Indian society, but still Indian women giving men a big fight in many sectors. Kamroom Musmat a Muslim widow of Bihar dug the well single handedly when her neighbors refuse to give her water and her family. Can we say India is shinning no we can’t because unless women access equal rights in every area of society India will not shine.
