JAMMU, Jan 18: Government Degree College (Boys) Udhampur today organized one dayseminar on “Demorarcy and Gender in India” today in the college
premises.Speaking on the occasion, Dr Nutan Kumar Resutra congratulated the
Dept. of Political Science and Dept of Sociology for jointly organizing the seminar. He said that India is a democratic state and hence provides equal rights to everyone irrespective of caste, creed, region or faith. In her address, Prof (Dr) Rekha Chowdhary traced the psyche of women for their helplessness “weakness and incapability’ “that is induced since their childhood. Given a chance women can prove their worth. Democracy is not gendered but culture makes it so. Patriarchy is so
embedded in our psyche that we all, both the genders, will have to work very hard.
Prof. Abha Chouhan in her presentation said that any democracy is
thought to be functional when views and perspectives of all its citizens are equally honoured. Absence of women from decision making makes the system biased. People who are gender sensitive matter in a democracy.
Dr. Garima Gupta said that it is not the right to vote but opportunity
to vote that ensures equality among genders. “In a patriarchal set up,
not only women but men also suffer. A woman is not born but made by
her cultural orientation”, she added.
