We are here yet again celebrating India's Independence Day. In my eyes, we will attain true freedom, when we as a society will practice equality for men and women. By equality, I do not mean feminism, but I mean, the ability for women to get the same rights as men, wages on the same basis, women getting prominence and equal foot-front in our male-dominated society. Women should also be entitled to be the protagonists in movies, and not used just for objectification. Women to be able to walk freely in the wee hours of the day without having to worry about their safety. Women getting their right for their voice to be heard as well, as their opinion matters too in a society, And also a basic right for women to be educated, as when you educate a woman, you do not only educate one person but an entire family and probably a generation. The day we attain this kind of equality, we will be Independent in the true sense of the word. Happy Independence Day!
