  • Jayesh Jain Strike just for few hours or few days with cool head might do the trick
    • Aparna Krishnan Jayesh Jain didn't understand ...
    • Jayesh Jain I meant hartal / strike, not doing the "not counted work" like care and love. It will immediately make others see that she has been always a working women. Satyagrah of this kind would have settled the issue altogether. However women came down to the level of stupidities of the men to be identified as working women.
    • Aparna Krishnan Strike is not so easy ...
      To get recognition for house work is also not so easy ... evern for 'working women'.

    • Jayesh Jain It's not easy because of inherent goodness and strength of women. However if the urge of recognition do come then direction of coming down to level of men is like an eye for eye will make the world blind

    • Maya Gomez Why not? They work hard for their living.
    • Aparna Krishnan I hope they give her the same admiration and respect they would give a woman CEO. Somehow feel doubtful ...😑

    • Maya Gomez Aparna Krishnan would they accord a male CEO the same admiration and respect as to say, a head-load worker?

      It depends on the individual and how much exposure they’ve had / how wide their worldview is.

    • Maya Gomez Dignity of work / labour is what it all boils down too.

      In India unfortunately there are age-old associations with caste and class that also come into play. Sadly those shackles will take a lot of ground work on social justice to be completely shaken off.      …See More

    • Aparna Krishnan Yes its all connected. The privilege, hubris, unwillingness to let go of any of it ...

    • Sunny Pawar Reservations, yes, finally someone acknowledged it... The linkage btwn social discrimination, lack of access to basic facilities & opportunities, privilege & reservation.... Though now it has been reduced to mere vite bank politics but really needs to be reviewed & restructured so that the invisible communities get a chance to atleast survive with dignity... if nothing more.

  • Anurima Dey Completely agree with Samrat Roy Chowdhuri. This coming from a SAHM.

    Always wanted to be with my kids until they begin full time school but the looks and the attitudes I have to tackle are worse than tantrums my kids throw.
