As a boy, I am feeling very guilty. Because number of rape and molesting
cases are increasing in our society. It means that our wife, sister, mother,
friend etc is not safe. Something is going wrong in our mind. We do not want to
understand their importance in our daily life. Because we feel threatened by
women's liberation because women has begun to set their importance in male
dominated society. Rather Women's approaches us to create a world where future
possibilities are limitless. So as a writer I am defining women.

ladies for our great society. So we have to respect her and try to maintain
their dignity. Respect women means respect your wife, sister, mother, friend.
Jai hind Jai bharat.
