New Delhi, Rashtra Sevika Samiti chief V Shantha Kumari emphasized the need for a correct narrative about women's place in Indian society, highlighting their importance in the country's culture.
Kumari noted that women in India are excelling in various fields, from space science to Operation Sindoor, and stressed that they are a strong force in society.
However, she pointed out that some people use certain scriptures to suggest that women face exploitation in India, citing examples like Manu.
Kumari called for a re-evaluation of the narrative surrounding women's place in Indian society and culture.
The comments were made at a two-day national convention of women thought leaders, titled 'Bharati – Nari to Narayani', organized by Bharatiya Vidvat Parishad in association with the Rashtra Sevika Samiti and Sharanya.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta also spoke at the event, emphasizing the importance of women supporting each other and providing opportunities for the next generation of girls.
