Rabindranath Tagore

Rabindranath Tagore was born in 1861 in calcutta. He belongs to a rich family, so he went to London to Complete his study and he came back without completing it. He is the first non European to win the Nobel Prize in literature.  He wrote many stories and drama and one of them is Punishment. This story talk about a small family in bangladesh.   In this story there are two brothers who works to feed their family and their wives just stay home and take care of household things. One day dukhiram killed his wife because he was very tired and it was long day for him and after killing her  she blamed everything on brothers wives. At last she confessed everything  and she get hanged.  Through this story we can say that women has no right to speak, they do what there husband told them to do. It clearly show than when he says that you can get another women but not  other brother. we can imagine that how much respect they give to women. I also read the text “A vindication of the rights of women ” by  “Mary wollstonecraft “in this short  story it show that women has no right their job is to just make there family and husband happy by making food for them. Aslo women were not allowed to go outside to get education and  work outside. when I was in India I saw that women just stay home and do their works , they cannot go to buy even single thing. I read stories in which women has no rights and they  cannot go out and also they get married at very early age and they were not asked if they want to marry that guy or no, while men have every right but women were not allowed to go against anyone. during that time women have restrictions not to do this or that while men has all freedom they can enjoy their life but women has to sacrifice everythings . The writing style of  Tagore always continued to bring strong characters of women in their stories. But  as the time passed things are getting changed people were becoming more aware and now  they send their girls to school and they were getting education.  Also they have equal rights as men. I think we all are equal and everyone should be treated with equal respect and there should be no discrimination about race or gender.
