Our Cultural Heritage
country has not been reciprocated so well by the men-folk. And therefore, the cultural 10 excellence of Indian women is observed, indicated and accepted as next to none. Further, I remind the men-folk that it is all our mothers who have gifted to the world the best A people, such as , Tirthankars, Acharyas, Rishis, o Monks, Great divine people and all illustrious and genius people with great achievements in various walks of life. I do not feel indignant to say that if I subtract all the contributions of my mother, wife, sister and other women from o the growth/development/progress of my life, then there will be a big vacuum.
It is a fact that our society has lagged behind in doing all-round good and growth for women who glorify the best motherhood. It is really high time for all of us to correct this situation quickly and exert a collective effort to provide proper place; individually in family, socially, educationally, financially, morally and in life overall for girls, mothers and women in general. It is especially necessary to give priority to the educational and cultural e activities of girls in all programs because they bear the responsibility of shaping the lives of future citizens of India.
