Who will roll the chapatis?
16/12/2001 I tell my young niece that this must be the best time in history to be a woman. Around the world women have never been freer and this has to be one of great achievements of the 20th century. The consciousness of women s oppression came to us from the West, but women s organisations in India passionately took up the rallying cry, and their prize has been a third of the legislative places in village and municipal governments and a third again as heads of these governments. We have thus witnessed the great spectacle of almost a million women panchayat members begin to govern our villages, and of these almost a quarter of a million are chairpersons. Studies by academics reveal that women are increasingly exercising a benign influence over local affairs and panchayats headed by women outperform those headed by men. Having said that, there still remains a huge gap between aspiration and reality-the sobering truth is that millions of women either die in childbirth or are never born
