A very thoughtful article indeed! It looks like a touch chocie for a woman in our society whether to go for a career or settle down as a skivvy in the name of a wife. My question is ’do career women earn the same respect in family as male bread-winners?’ Is an earning daughter given the same privileges as an earning son or the balance of importance is still poised more on the male side?

No doubt a career woman never enjoys the same previliges as are given to the male bread-winners in the family for he always remains the decision maker. Quandaries of a carer woman are endless in this society.It was only the issue of their marital predicament I focused in this post.

As I mentioned, societal attitude is not keeping pace with the progress of women. We have instances like a journalist woman discussing affairs of global importance with the men of stature but at the back of her mind fretting about explanation she will have to give at home for being late and then we have policewoman who are escorted by their teenage brother from home to bus stop.

Nazish and Kareem,both India and Pakistan,after partition lost there glorious past history,culture, traditions and education system which was one of the best.Its disastrous for any culture,when they try to adopt a very different culture and forgets their past history and linkage.
