In the holy bible the story of creation of the universe is actually very interesting. It continues with the story of creation of man. Incidentally god created man after his very own image. Man was said to be the highest of all beings. He was called Adam. After the creation of the universe the garden in Eden was created. Adam was left in charge of this and forbidden to eat the fruit of knowledge. After some time god realised that though god had made Adam the master of all beings, no one was fit enough to be his companion. In spite of being surrounded by numerous creatures he was alone. So god decided to create a suitable companion for him. He put Adam to deep sleep and created Eve from a rib of his chest. So where am I leading you with this bib logical reference?? Well you just have to wait and watch. Man was indeed the crown of creations but eve was created to be his suitable companion and not as a slave. She was created from his chest; many believe his heart, with an equal strength and ability. She wasn’t created from the dust of his feet and neither from his head. Woman was created by god to stand as a suitable companion and not be treated like dust at their feet or like crown on their heads. The bible continues with a long description of how eve was responsible for them to be banished from the Garden of Eden but that is not what I want to talk about. At least not right now.
History stands proof and as many men scoff over women being responsible for the most destructive wars that ever took place on the face of the earth i would just like to remind you that it wasn’t women who started these wars but the desire of men to possess them. Man continues to be foolish and irrational failing to look beyond a woman’s beauty and often make futile attempts to possess them.
Helen, of troy, a married Greek queen who elopes with the prince of troy and this leads to the fall of the Trojan empire that still after centuries fascinate people from all walks of life. The two empires did not fight for honour but fought because the grand price for the one who won was the most beautiful Helen. So how could she be responsible for it? Men cant simply blame it on her for being beautiful but yes the war can be blamed on men for being naive enough to loose lives for her beauty.
Then there is Cleopatra, an Egyptian queen who managed to enthral Julius Caesar by evenly matching up with his wisdom and knowledge of not only languages, cultures and countries but also about warfare. She was able to sign a peace treaty with him a feat that many kings failed to accomplish. After the death of Caesar it was Mark Antony’s turn to be captivated by her beauty and charm. All this eventually not only led to the fall of the Egyptian empire but also brought end to the golden age in the Roman Empire.
There are plenty of such women. In India we have had the likes of Jodha, Nur Jahan, and Indra Gandhi. On a lighter note, there is wonder woman, the super hero in hot pants that left all the male readers sweating, the Babe raider, a video game the boys simply love to play as the babe in it resembles the Lara Croft character and is pretty much made along the same lines. The game comes with its own perks as after she completes 1 level she just looses a piece her clothing. No prices for guessing what happens when 1 would clear the last level.
ALL HAIL WOMAN POWER!!! Yes that is what I had in mind when I originally began to write this speech but as I read about these women, right from the Greek Mythology, Roman empires, and empresses of the Mughal Empire to the Virgin Mary, Mother Teresa, or even Benazir Bhutto I realised that i was thinking on the wrong lines all along. I don’t have to prove the superiority of women on men or in society. There are things that only a woman can do but there are plenty others that they can’t. The reason why both continue to exist is not because it’s been so right from the time of Adam and eve but simply because the existence of 1 depends on the other. Of course it does so, on the surface but i mean it in a deeper sense and I’m talking about the many layers of interdependence as the reason behind this co existence. It is mutual interests and needs.
Yes, grandmother’s lap is divine, mother’s touch is warm, a prank on a sister fills you with joy and satisfaction, a female classmate gives you an reason to dream in the class and a girlfriend makes you feel loved and wanted but a grandfather imbibes you with wisdom, a father makes you strong enough to face the world, a brother stands by you when you face it, a male classmate annoys you and makes your college life memorable and well a boyfriend holds your hand just when you wanted someone too.
So let’s face it. Boys are physically stronger but when it comes to emotions it’s only the girls that mange to get through. Yes there are more boys in the IITs and IIMs than the girls but there are more girls in fashion institutes or nursing colleges. Not to forget there are more men in the prison than women. But as the ever charming heroes of all the famous Bollywood and Hollywood movies continue to die while saving the beautiful girls we would like to say “thanks but no thanks”. We can manage on our own too you just have to give us a chance and yes we need you just as much as we need are hearts to pump the blood and our lungs and kidneys to function properly and keep us alive.
