On this Women's Day I convey my Greetings to all women  and I choose to post my views on Working Women in India.

The country's economy is growing at 9%. Nobody can deny the role of women in this growth.

In 1970 women were allowed to work.

In 1980 working women were favourites for a middle class male getting married.

In 1990 Urban Middle Class accepted the reality that a family can go on only when both spouses earn.

In 2000 all middle class families admitted their girls in Engineering Colleges. Girls outnumbered boys in the top ranks and they got into Premiere Institutions,

Today women are everywhere in the Indian Industry. They outperform men in their workplaces.

But the working women face problems both from their male counterparts and spouses. We can see the following scenario in all organisations.

1. A woman who performs well in her job is rather 'tolerated' than cherished by her male colleagues, that too, if she is very modest and does'nt raise her voice on issues.

2. Few women are celebrated by their male colleagues , not for the work they do, but for their benovolence in accepting them as friends. In some industries this kind of friendships are essential for the women to enter and leave the work place safely.

3.For supervisors it is easy to give a job to a woman than a male subordinate. Very few women assert themselves and do the due share of work. Most women are overloaded compared to the male colleagues.

4.Few women make advantage of their gender and get favours from colleagues and boss thus tainting the image of working women.

5.Single women are courted in the work place and mostly they fall in love with the person who is pestering more. Most of these love affairs are out of sympathy and the women silently suffer the miserable marriage for the rest of their life.

6.At home her spouse rarely understands her problems at office and simply complains that her care is falling in quality as the days go. If both spouses work in the same office she is more miserable. He can not digest the appreciations that she wins at office. Sometimes she also doubts his friendly interactions with another female colleague. Despite all the best qualities our Indian Women are very possessive and she is not ready to share her spouse's love and affection with even her mother in law, forget about another woman.

Our women keep working in such situations and win laurels for the organizations they work. My appeal to them.

"Please Continue Your good work.

 Be Assertive and not arrogant.

Qualify yourself further.

Keep climbing the career ladders.

Keep outperforming males and set new standards in quality of Work."

My appeal to men.

"Please understand your working spouse. Never doubt her.

Lend support to her as she desires.

Also treat your female colleagues courteously. Appreciate their work openly and lend support to them whenever they need.

Compete with them and win them in terms of quality of work. Never be jealous of them and never look at them as rivals."

Let us all evolve a better understanding of women on this Woman's Day and resolve to make their life more comfortable.
