The Constitution of India ensured woman an equal position with man in regard to her rights and responsibilities: inheritance and other laws were enacted to safeguard her and to give her economic and psychological stability. We see how fragile legislation can be when it is not backed by sturdy and passionate human beings who ensure that legislation is translated into action

In the last few years we find an erosion of woman’s position not only in India but all over the world. There is a growing materialism and e increasing fundamentalism which seeks to entangle woman through an emphasis on tradition, heritage. custom, the Shastras, religious texts and so push her back centuries, through a man-made social code that limits woman’s initiative, creativity and growth technology. in computer

With the explosion literacy and an increasing search for extending areas of artificial intelligence, new challenges have appeared on the horizon. Labour based on the male physique which dominated employment and defined a woman’s role for centuries is being replaced by for skill and intelligence-oriented systems creating wealth. It is possible in the coming decades to erase discrimination based on gender; but in India to introduce such systems that render the human beings less and less important in the production processes, when seen against a a scenario of exploding populations of growing unemployment, can only accentuate tension and conflict. As of today no social. economic and psychological solutions to the problem of employment are available. Reservations for women remain valid on paper. The woman remains a victim.

Economic freedom and the independence that arises from it is essential for women. We have to ensure through field studies, through education, through right use of franchise, through an observing eye and ear to unravel this knot of employement for women. This is only possible with a right use of technology and the examination and strengthening of existing technologies.

A growing fundamentalism is evident in the horrors that have been perpetrated on woman. We are aware how through TV, radio, advertising, magazines, visual and language traps are set up in which woman inevitably falls. This is further accentuated through an educational system, through outdated values and through a close-box culture which binds woman to ber man-made role as daughter, wife and mother, so that she exists only in relation to man. In our culture the woman has no independent existence.

Can we create a new agenda for woman based on skill, creativity, knowledge, austerity, compassion and responsibility

PASSAGE-4

For years now, George W. Bush has told Americans that he would increase the number of troops in Iraq only if the commanders on the ground asked him to do so. It was not a throwaway line : Bush said it from the very first days of the war, when he and Pentagon boss Donald Rumsfeld were criticized for going to war with too few troops. He said it right up until last summer, stressing at a news conference in Chicago that Iraq commander General George Casey “Will make the decisions as to how many troops we have there. Seasoned military people suspected that the line was a dodge-that the civilians who ran the Pentagon were testing their personal theory that war can be fought on the cheap and the brass simply knew better than to ask for more. In any case, the president repeated the mantra to dismiss any suggestion that the war was going badly, Who, after all knew better than the generals on the ground?

Now, as the war nears the end of its fourth year and the number of Americans killed has surpassed 3,000, Bush has dropped the generals-know-best line. Sometime next week the President is expected in the propose a surge number of U.S. forces in Iraq for a period of upto two years. A senior official said reinforcenients numbering “About 20,000 troops,” and may be more, could be in place within months, The surge would be achieved by extending the stay of some forces already in Iraq and accelerating the deployment of others.

The irony is that while the generals would have liked more troops in the past, they are cool to the idea of sending more now. That’s in part because the politicians and commanders have had trouble agreeing on what the goal of a surge would be. But it is also because they are worried that a surge would further crode the readiness of the U.S.’s already stressed ground forces. And even those who back a surge are under no illusions about what it would mean to the casualty rate. “If you put more American troops on the front line,” said a White House official, “You’re going to have more casualties.”

Coming from Bush, aman known for bold strokes, the surge is a strange half-measure-too large for the political climate at home, too small to crush the insurgency in Iraq and surely three years too late. Bush has waved off a bipartisan rescue mission out – of pride, stubbornness or ideology, or some

combination of the three. Rather than reversing course, as all the wise elders of the Iraq Study Group advised the Commander in Chief is betting that more troops will lead the way to what one White House official calls “Victory.”
