The cross of characters (PP to my "answer for the Indian women's situation" )
1026 days ago 2 comments Categories: community problems Tags: volunteering, india, health, medicine

I have recently talked about the women in India and their problem with the female newlyborns. I promised I will look up to find some more information about this weird thing. (it's weird for my comprehension)

India is really a huge country and has rich history supported by great traditions and so many beliefs hold good there. Diversity is so big, but the basics remain the same. Women are separated by castes and this class separations has strict rules  that are not healthy for the people at all. Some women from the lower classes don't even accept themselves as living creatures with souls and imagination. They are taught to disparage themselves and their nature. They basically have no right of living normal lives, they're given as wives, they become humiliated wives, dumped wives, wives that do not have any desire to go on suffering in this world so decide suicide might help. Considering this I don't hesitate why most women would rather kill their daughters. By this or any other reason this class separation should be vanished and I believe there are trials that may happen to be successful at the end.

There's a little project founded in a non-famous town in the heart of India, Jamkhed (I'm not sure about the spelling). A famiily of medics establishes a little hospital for emergiencies (or regular cases) and the locals contribute to this little hospital with their own money paying low taxes for the medical attention. The couple decides this is not enough and many places like this should be established so that they may have some advance. The answer is to make the locals themselves work as hospital attendants, nurses etc. India, like many coutries with large population and little opportunities, is not a preferable place to work for the graduated Indian doctors and medical officials. They usually go abroad (the number of immigrant employees of that field is even larger than the number of the graduates in medical aid) and even if they do stay home they prefer large cities. Of course. The solution comes from the prospekt that people can help eatch other and you don't have to be awarded with diploma to get to cure somebody. Women from different places, women being from distant villages, low castes, women who once were sick or humilliated now are proud medical servants, they are obstetricians, they cure flue and leprosa. They attend lectures in the centre (the hospital) and study new cases and deseases. These are the same women who once denied their essense and their name. More and more women join this project and thei is the wonderful start of a better future for them and for their fellow-citizens. They travel around and examine patients, cure them, deliver more and more healthy babies and make people laugh and smile and love life as it is. This wonderful order of human enthusiasm, dreams and hard work shows a lot to the developping countries.

Jamkhed made life easier. Not only it changed people's general health status, but there also were many social inovatiuons as well. Women start getting married at the age of 18 and older, they have a system of crediting the poorer ones, they plant trees in devastated areas and start growing their own vegetables in their recently made gardens, they have water purification methods introduced now and almost every village is supplied with water, women use contraceptives and more of them attend school. Benefits are so many that this program is planned to spread all over Asia.. and the world. Nepal is the next country to follow.

The initial material benefits for a medical servent is none. The only source of desire comes from the fact that you're helping others without being rewarded and you're being a part of little changes that make huge impact on people's minds. Women from the low castes who once were treated as animals are now being the ones who save lifes. There really is nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer. It didn't happen because some of the leading nations wanted it to happen. It didn't start as a project of an international organisation providing aid in poor countries. It happened because those women believed they could start their own new world no matter the cross of characters and tortuous superstitions. Success is inevitable now. More and more benefits will come because what you do by heart is what really remains after you.  A simple example is this...

Everybody knows how hard it is to find drinkable water in India and teritories there are usually under control of different castes. Now, when changes are introduced,  the hated and the hating are the same water consumers and drink the same water. This is how the simple neccessity and simple relationships can break boundaries. It is a lesson for everyone to be taught.

    Can’t believe that a nation which always look down on women has unyielding ones like them, once they are repressed, they will resign or fight for their rights , but these women forgot their sufferings in order to bring happiness for people like them, it is amazing and deserves to be respected. It is very stupid for people who defy women, it’s not random that the human history once had matriarchy period? it looks like old man is more intelligent than we are now, just women’s giving birth make us respect them….
