70 years of supposed independence Yet no real freedom for women In a society dominated by men Drowned, is a woman's voice We need Azadi from Patriarchy Money and power aren't everything Without love, life is nothing Above all, are relationships and life quality Is there no end to ****? Why is marital **** legal? Our system is so feudal Marriage is such a shame Marred by domestic violence Divorce, a traumatic experience No freedom to choose her career Family is supposed to be better No freedom for inter-religious marriage If she does, it's labelled Love Jihad Frankly, we are tired Demand an end to this carnage She can dress as she pleases She can roam at night She can marry anyone she loves To question her, you have no right
This poem is for all Indian women, and also for men who don't support a system like Patriarchy which promotes inequality and ******* of one gender over the other
