India, the country of traditions, cultures and customs, once had burning of widows (Satti) with the husband's dead body and prohibition of widows second marriage , parts of religion, but "satti" tradition was banned by Britisher rulers and second marriage tradition ended with passage of time. In no religion traditions like this are found and no part of religion can be demolished with changing of the attitides of people or with new age norms. The women folk in India has been treated like animals in the past, they were tortured and all the cruelities were fate of women by the men. But, now with the new age women in India are enjoying many facilities like in politics, there are several women on high status offices. The president of India, Patel is woman, the actual prime minister Sonia Gandhi, speaker of parliament Mera Kumari, the leader of the opposition Sashma Soraj, it does not end here the cheif ministers of the four important provinces are women, Uttar Pradesh (Maya Vatti), Bengal ( Mamta Banerji), Tamil Nadi (Ja Lalita), and Delhi ( Sheela Dickshet all are women.
Recently, Mamta Banerhi diminished the government of leftists who were in power for the last 34 years, in Bengal. Leftists coulkd win only 62 seats. It is worth mentioning that Mamta Banerji did not come in power through caste or sectarian grounbds but she won the power with the favor of the masses. Maya Vatii is prominent from other three women as she does not belong to Brahmin caste but is among untouchables. Though Mera Kumari is not from Brahman caste too but she is the daughter of former Vice Prime Minister and belongs to a rich family. However, Maya Vatti, an untouchable one is from shoe maker family. Untouchables who can not pass by Brahmans, can not drink or eat where Brahman's do. They can not shake hands with Brahmans. Their shadow can not be tolerated by Barahmans , otherwise Barmans haveto take Bath. Maya Vatti from that caste is the Cheif Minister of Uttar Pradesh province of India. Her life struggle is full of commitments, struggle for the cause and devotion.. She is an example of sacrifices and determinations.
