Thanks Safia for your comments. I submit that your grandmother was a exception.I know many cases supporting my contention. I am confident that women’s position will continue to improve with more education and economic indipendence.

Maryam I beg to agree and disagree.I seem to recall that my grandmother who by all descriptions was the matriarch of the family ran the complete show in her house but her technique was of interest. She did not verbalise her intentions loudly but very subtly, What she said was the rule. (she was not economically independent she relied on her husbands earnings, which he gave to her every month.) My grandfather was a very strong minded man with a very volatile mercurial temperament but my grandmother was the decision maker. Ofcourse there are varying degrees of “power’ a womwn has had. But change is occurring. It is up to us how to ‘weild’that power. I would suggest ‘subtly’ unlike our sisters in the west. I do not want their kind of power. Womens issues encompases numerous issues ‘male dominance’is a non issue. The reason that perhaps there are not too many wemen discussants may be because they do not use the computer often or a lack of time, interest or complete apathy. Let me as a women ask you this question; what challenges have you faced while living in the west (I am assuming that you do) and how have you dealt with them? Looking forward to your response.

I would like to defend men’s position in dealing with this issue. I accept that we come from a society dominated by men. But things are changing even in India. Women are asserting their equal postion.Women also need to understand our position.As women become ecnomically more indipendent their power will increase as it happened in west.

I am disappointed by the lack of discussion on women’s issues.Have you noticed that our men are hard to change with time.We are basically a male dominated society where women are supposed to have no brains.All major decisions are made by men.
What is your experience?

I found the photos of the eye camp in Amroha on 30April very touching.

Very pleased to know about the AIS charity work in Amroha. We ought to do some thing about sanitation. Those naalees need thorough cleaning. Lots of deseases will disappear with with better cleaning.

Good to read about our charity work in Amroha.

Eye operations are very important as we have no facility in Amroha at present.

I was delighted to read about the progress on the cataracts camps and education scholarships that Mr Naqvi made in his recent visit to Amroha.I am sure that we would like to be kept informed and be part of this most worthy work.

We should try to preseve our good values by teaching them in words and actions.I agree that we have to change with time.

we need to be mindful that values change with time and according to the community we are in. We should not be afraid to change. Culture is not monolithic. It evolves.

Thing I like most about our culture is very high importance of family. Thing I hate most is lack of honesty.

I can identify with most of the comments in this section. Visiting Amroha is fun and painful. Fun is meeting reltives and friends.They are very genorous and will do any thing to please you. But one can get very frustrated by the lack of electricity or phone not working and lack of discipline about time.

Visiting Amroha is a wonderfull experience.We are greeted with love and given much love.One can never forget the generosity, the hospitality and the complete selflessness.One leaves with a feeling of being wanted.One regrets that loved ones are left behind as we head for the airport in Delhi not knowing when the next meeting will be.
