Aung San Suu Kyi : The Women Who Spent Her 15 Years Life Under House Arrest For Democracy In Her Country

Aung San Suu Kyi is the great inspiration in politics who fought against her country's militant for Democracy. She became the world's most famous political prisoner. She was put under house arrest for her political work for democratization. Military had offered her freedom if she would agreed to left the country but she refused. She knew that if she left the country then Berman military will never give her permission to enter in her country. Thus she never left Berma during her pro-democracy movement & spent 15 years under house arrest. Her famous speech was "Freedom to fear" in which she said, "It is not power that corrupts, but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it."

During this imprisonment,  she was prevented from meeting her party supporters, media and international visitors. The military had denied the visa of her husband & children. Her husband died in 1999 during her imprisonment. She could not met him in his last days but she didn't left her country. She was also separated from her children, who live in the United Kingdom. She was recently released on 13 November 2010. Suu Kyi was released from house arrest on November 2010. She appeared in front of a crowd of her supporters, who rushed to her house in Rangoon when nearby barricades were removed by the security forces.Discussions were held between Suu Kyi and the Burmese government during 2011, which led to a number of official gestures to meet her demands. In October, around a tenth of Burma's political prisoners were freed in an amnesty and trade unions were legalised.

When she was asked for the opportunity of ministerial post during 2012 election, she said,

"I can tell you one thing – that under the present constitution, if you become a member of the government you have to vacate your seat in the national assembly. And I am not working so hard to get into parliament simply to vacate my seat." She says about her country's democracy patterns,: "We wish to learn from everybody who has achieved a transition to democracy, and also our great strong point is that, because we are so far behind everybody else, we can also learn which mistakes we should avoid."

Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. The Nobel Committee mentions:

• The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 1991 to Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar (Burma) for her non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights.
• ...Suu Kyi's struggle is one of the most extraordinary examples of civil courage in Asia in recent decades. She has become an important symbol in the struggle against oppression...
• ...In awarding the Nobel Peace Prize for 1991 to Aung San Suu Kyi, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to honour this woman for her unflagging efforts and to show its support for the many people throughout the world who are striving to attain democracy, human rights and ethnic conciliation by peaceful means.

The Iron Lady.....Margaret Hilda Thatcher

Margaret Hilda Thatcher was the great inspiration for those women who never thought their career in Politics. She even not only entered in politics but proved herself too. She was the first lady prime minister of Britain. She also known as Iron lady due to her uncompromising politics & leadership style. she became the prime minister for 11 (from 1979 to 1990) years. Margaret Thatcher is the first living ex-prime minister in British history to be honored with a statue in the Houses of Parliament. It stands opposite a statue of Winston Churchill in the lobby of the House of Commons. 

Margaret Thatcher quotes -

If you want something said, ask a man; if you want something done, ask a woman.

Any woman who understands the problems of running a home will be nearer to understanding the problems of running a country.

I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job.

I'm extraordinarily patient provided I get my own way in the end. You and I come by road or rail, but economists travel on infrastructure.

If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.

Let Me Go...

This darkness makes me feel unsafe
let me go

The relationships make me uncomfortable
let me go

I am a girl but a human being also
I have to see the world as you visit everywhere
let me go........

I will die in this loneliness
Don't create a reason for emptiness;

I can stand in this world with pride
If you set me free from your horrible hands;

Don't wrap me in a darken layer
let me go........

Tie a knot is not my destination
Being shy &fragile is not my identifications;

Let me grab the opportunities of happiness
Let me take my own decisions;

I am not an object for fruition
let me go...

There is no safe street for women....Horrible facts

Can you believe that rape is the fourth most common crime against women in India. According to the National Crime Records Bureau 2013 annual report, 24,923 rape cases were reported across India in 2012. The most horrible fact is out of these, 24,470 were committed by relative or neighbor; in other words, the victim knew the alleged rapist in 98 per cent of the cases.

About 100,000 women were claimed to have been kidnapped and raped During the partition of India.

There has also been estimated that up to 100,000 children go missing each year in which majority are being sexually abused.

In Jammu and Kashmir, there have been allegations of rape and mass rape also . Report says that these rape cases have been carried out by both Indian armed forces and Islamist militant groups. The alleged four Rajputana Rifles unit [had entered the village of Kunan Poshpora and raped between 30 and 100 women aged between 13 and 70 (as per the allegations)] were highlighted in 1991. Indian government responded and carried out three inquiries against the allegations but it concluded it as a hoax.

At a glance it seems unbelievable but Human rights groups allege that the Indian armed forces (under the protection of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958) are involved out a large number of rapes in the Nagaland, Assam and Manipur provinces.

During the communal riots (in recent years also) various rape cases have taken places . During the post 2002 Godhra train burning, in the certain parts of Gujarat, rape was carried out by rioters.Thirteen rape and assault cases were reported during the 2013 Muzaffarnagar riots

FEEL THE PUNCH OF MARY KOM

Can you imagine any women with punch. I am talking about Magnificent Mary (Mary com). She is a five-times World Amateur Boxing champion, and the only woman boxer to have won a medal in each one of the six world championships. She is the only Indian woman boxer to have qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics, competing in the flyweight (51 kg) category and winning the bronze medal. She must would be the role model of those women who think women physically weak. A girl always thinks about her beauty & this male dominated society either creates a horrible accident because of her beauty or dominates her due to less physical strength. What would happened if every girl thinks to protect herself & ready to punch. This will change the world. I am inspired from various quote's of Mary Kom. 

she says, "Don’t give up as there is always a next time. Think that if Mary Kom, a mother of two, can do it, why can’t you?".“I still remember I was castigated by my father who said with a battered and bruised face, I should not expect to get married. He was furious that I took to boxing – a taboo for women – and he did not have the slightest idea about it. But my passion for the sport had got the better of me and I thank my cousins who coaxed and cajoled my father into eventually giving his nod. I’m happy that I did not let anybody down.”“To be a successful boxer one must also have a strong heart. Some women are physically strong but fail when it comes to having a strong heart. One also must have the zeal and the right fighting spirit. We work harder than men and are determined to fight with all our strength to make our nation proud. God has given me the talent and it’s only because of sheer grit and hard work that I have made it so far.”"I am in the police force, but boxing keeps me busy. I have won an Olympic medal but my dream is not yet finished. It shall be fulfilled the day I do something in my department to fight crime.”
