I am proud that women are making rules in India; this should have happened many years before but didn't happen because many women had fallen prey to the machinations of cunning men who are hell bent upon exploiting them. Men and women, irrespective of their religion and marital status, should have equal right to the properties of ancestors and their parents. Modern women no doubt have scaled unprecedented heights in the fields of art and literature, politics, business and professional management but many women couldn't excel may be due to exploitation by men. It is only fair to ask if there has been an equitable shift in the role of men . Are they shouldering responsibilities at home in the same proportion, barring shopping for groceries? About the inheritance of women, The Supreme Court had recently conferred daughters equal right to parent's property. The judgement unequivocally said that women have equal rights to ancestral property, irrespective of any cut-off period. Women's liberalisation will remain a myth till important issues are not addressed and only through education it can be achieved.
