women empowerment......behind the scene....

very often we talk about women's empowerment .government ,non-government social organisations and many others come up to flaunt works that they have done for women's empowerment.but the question is ...Are women actually getting empowered or we just keep talking of empowerment seeing the sample of handful women of elite class who never lacked power or are already socially and financially empowered .what about those rural women who are still struggling day and night behind the 'Parda' and spending their lives in front of stoves and chimney .what about these women .are they being empowered ?are the policies that government has made for their empowerment actually reaching the grass root level or just being lost in their midway and become limited only upto elite class and upper middle class women.Indian women would get empowered in real sense only when these rural women get opportunities to come out of 'parda' and stand on their own .
