Firstly I am not ok with the question it self.”educating woman” it is a biased thought why because education is a invaluable treasure it should be given to all irrespective of gender. It is systemised now a days we educating woman, we respect woman, these kind of sugar coated words are only in the magazines and articles. But the actual situation of women especially Indian women,it just the opposite.now a days education is added as a additional value of swayamwara.and it also used to bargain the dowry.and so on..and “giving them equal rights..”are you kidding me?, who take their rights in the first place? It’s very sad but the truth is there were some men (not all) obviously for their convenient make women as their maid almost. She needs to do all the house hold chores, maintain kids, manage home,etc. but why women not speaking about all these things all these days? It’s actually a brilliant tactics of our ancestors.they just insist that, if a woman can’t able to fulfill these things the sanctity of their feminity, the religious honour of their family, the honour of their parampara all will go at risk.so just like that we can’t change any thing in the tradition as “we are in the most traditional country”.instead we can educate our sons, brothers, fathers, colleagues, that education is not an option for women it’s a right . If we did this thing successfully,the equal rights will come automatically.eventually the  empowerment too..
