Well well well...........Never heard of it I guess.
Everyone in his/her life has heard about Women's Day and Mother's Day, but how many of you have heard about Father's Day and Men's Day. I guess no one.
Even I had not heard about it till yesterday. I was sitting at office and was reading some random articles. I saw an article on Women's Day. Lots of celebrities comments and nice words for the womanhood. And in the midst of all this I started thinking why we celebrate Women's Day and Mother's Day and not Father's Day and Men's Day. I googled Men's Day and Father's Day.
19th of November is considered as International Men's Day and third sunday of June is celebrated as Father's Day in many countries.
But the question is why most of us are unaware of this fact. Or is it that our very own society is partial? To raise a child father contributes as much as mother. Then why father should not be credited for it?
Since childhood, I was taught that all gender are equal and have same rights in our constitutuion. Then why we have Woman's Quota in bus, rail, colleges and now in parliament also. Why there is no quota for men? Many will argue that women are weak and for their upliftment we need this reservations and quota. But ask any women whether they feel inferior to the any male and the answer will be "We are equal to men in every field and we are not inferior to them". Funny isn't it...........
I am not against Women's Day and Mother's Day and I do feel that women can do almost all the things a man can do. I just wanted to express my views about the Father's Day and Men's Day. We should celebrate these too. And as the world respect Women and Mother, we males should also be respected.
