What is called worst with indian women
The Worst Part of Being an Indian Woman
Today, let’s shift our gaze to the other end of the spectrum.
The subtler, slower poison.
The worst part of being a woman in India?
She is treated with respect.
Yes, you read that right.
Respect.
...Terms and conditions apply.
Let me explain with a story.
Once, a group of village chieftains selected a man and made him the President of their community.
On Day 1, they asked him to stop wearing flashy clothes and stick to simple whites.
On Day 2, they told him to quit smoking—after all, he was a role model now.
Day 3, they told him to make peace with his estranged wife. A divorcee wouldn't earn the same respect.
And slowly, over time, they didn’t just place a crown on his head—they stripped him of his identity.
To the outside world, he was now a leader.
But in truth? He was their puppet.
This is exactly how most Indian women are treated.
They are crowned as goddesses, revered as mothers, praised as caregivers.
“Epitome of patience.”
“Embodiment of sacrifice.”
“Symbol of forgiveness.”
But these aren’t compliments.
These are chains—sugar-coated, cultural shackles.
She should obey.
She should forgive.
She should serve.
She should put everyone else first and herself last.
This is the blueprint of the “ideal Indian woman.”
Actress Rima Kallingal once spoke about how, as a child, she cried because she and her mother weren’t served fish fry—the delicacy was reserved for the elders and the men.
She voiced her hurt.
And the internet trolled her mercilessly.
The video got more dislikes than likes.
Why?
Because it wasn’t “a big deal.”
That’s how things have always been.
In many Indian households:
- If a son gets wet in the rain, a good mother waits at the door with a towel and prayers.
- A good wife serves everyone else, eats last, and never complains.
- A respectable woman doesn’t wear skirts after marriage, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t work late.
If she dares break any of these rules?
She's labeled selfish. Cultureless. Unwomanly.
Even today.
My grandmother was one of the brightest in her class—once held up as an example to others.
