So, friends, in today's programme
we'll start by asking 'Bitter questions.'
My first question.
A murdering rapist trying to impress you
or to take revenge on you...
...straps a time bomb
to an innocent girl.
Don't you think having a male officer
in your place...
...could have prevented
this disaster?
Is it not time for women
to introspect a little?
A bitter question.
Women alone don't need to introspect.
Our entire society should.
Whenever women work in any field,
the police force or in politics...
...why must their capabilities
always be questioned?
Because capabilities are not
the only concern.
It's about nature.
When Mother Nature has created
a difference between men and women...
...who are we to dispute it?
And when, in the name of modernity,
we set aside this difference...
...lessons of the Ramayana
come before us.
In the name of Mother Nature,
do you also believe...
...that Sita is the guilty one
and not the demon Ravan?
Are you comparing yourself
to Goddess Sita?
Goddess Sita is in every woman.
Because, like Her, every woman goes
through the test of fire each day.
Only women are doubted.
You're right, Shivani-ji,
women must endure many things.
But after years of struggle, a new era
of equality is approaching.
It's gradual but women have the chance
to become equal.
But every job is not meant
for women.
People once thought women were
unworthy of being educated.
Many still believe that.
By the way, what equality are you
talking about, sir?
Do you believe a woman's life
is equal to a man's?
Just because some women
get educated?
What do you know about being a woman?
We have to answer questions
a man is never asked. Such as...
"Are my clothes decent enough?"
Our moral character is questioned.
If we laugh too much,
some people get the wrong idea.
We work as hard as any man.
But when it comes to promotion?
"No! She's not up to the job."
When a woman comes home from work,
she must cook.
If husband and wife work,
it's still the wife who does the cooking.
If a man works all night, they say:
"Poor guy! He works so hard."
If a woman works all night,
they say, "All night? Why?"
We must think of things
only a woman can understand.
"Hope my bra strap isn't showing?"
"He's ogling me.
Hope he won't harass me."
In a crowd a man can touch a woman
anywhere he wants...
...because a woman in a public place
is public property.
Men dislike the fact women
have reserved seats on a bus.
"They want reserved seats
and equality!"
If every month blood poured
like water from your body...
...and you had a headache
or swollen feet...
...then let's talk about equality.
So, please don't waste your energy
by telling women what to do, sir.
Just make sure we get the opportunity
of doing what we'd like to do.
Equality is a long way off, sir.
It'll be a big thing if we got
our fair share.
