Ukuba undunankulu wokuqala wesifazane waseNdiya weza nesethi yayo yezimpahla nezikweletu. U-Indira Gandhi ungene njengomongameli weqembu leCongress of India ngasekupheleni kwawo-1950. Njengoba umlando ukhuluma wathatha izinqumo eziningi zezombusazwe eziyizingxabano ezikhombisa ubuntu abenabo. Ingxoxo no-Femina phakathi nawo-70's isibuyisela emuva kuhulumeni we-PM yase-India.
Sekuyisikhathi eside uhlotshaniswa nohulumeni futhi ube nombono ogcwele umlando wakamuva waseNdiya. Sinikeze umbono wakho ngesimo sabesifazane baseNdiya namuhla. Ucabanga ukuthi banesizathu sokujabula?
Uyabona, injabulo isho izinto ezahlukene kubantu abahlukene. Wonke umkhuba wempucuko yesimanje hhayi eNdiya kuphela kodwa emhlabeni wonke ubheke ekufuneni izinto ezengeziwe. Ngakho-ke akekho ojabule, abeneme emazweni acebe kakhulu. Kodwa ngingasho ukuthi inani elikhulu kakhulu labesifazane baseNdiya lingcono ngomqondo wokuthi unenkululeko enkulu kanye nesimo esingcono emphakathini. Umbono wami ngenhlangano yabesifazane baseNdiya akukhona ukuthi abesifazane kufanele babe nezikhundla eziphezulu kodwa ukuthi owesifazane ovamile kufanele abe nesimo esingcono futhi ahlonishwe emphakathini. Sihambe ngendlela efanele kodwa kusenezigidi zabesifazane abangawazi amalungelo kanye nezibopho zabo
Ngemuva kwenkululeko, uKhongolose ube yiqembu elikhulu nelinamandla kunawo wonke e-India. Ingabe yenze imizamo eyanele yokuletha abesifazane emkhakheni wezombangazwe waseNdiya uma kubhekwa ukuthi bambalwa abesifazane manje?
Ngeke ngisho ukuthi bancane abantu besifazane empilweni yepolitiki manje. Bambalwa abesifazane ephalamende mhlawumbe ngenxa yokuthi ngaphambi kokuba babe nokulingana okungaka, kwenziwa umzamo okhethekile kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi uMbuso noma iqembu ngeke likwazi ukubasiza ngendlela efanayo. Siyazama ukubasiza kodwa ukhetho luya ngokuba nzima kakhulu. Ngaphambi kokuthi kukhethwe noma ngubani. Kodwa manje uma abantu bendawo bethi akukwazi ukukhethwa, kufanele sithembele ekwahluleleni kwabo okungase kube okungalungile ngezinye izikhathi kodwa sincane kakhulu esingakwenza.
Amanye amaqembu e-India anamaphiko abesifazane futhi awenzi umsebenzi wezombangazwe kuphela kodwa nomsebenzi wezenhlalakahle. Ngabe ucabanga ukuthi la maqembu anezinhlelo ezanele zokuheha abesifazane ukuthi babambe iqhaza emisebenzini yabo?
Kuze kube muva nje, alikho elinye iqembu ngaphandle kukakhongolose namakhomanisi abenake ngempela abantu besifazane njengabangosopolitiki. Kodwa manje vele sebezama ukunxenxa abantu besifazane kodwa kakhulu ukubasebenzisa kunokuthi babanike isithunzi.
Ngingathanda ukwazi imibono yenu ngemfundo maqondana nabesifazane. Eminyakeni yamuva nje siye sasungula uhlelo lwemfundo yesayensi yasekhaya kodwa nalapho umphakathi wonkana usinika ukubaluleka kwesibili. Amantombazane, angakwazi ukwenza i-BA noma i-B.Sc kwezesayensi noma ezesintu, angena kwisayensi yasekhaya. Ingabe ikhona indlela yokuhlela kabusha imfundo yabesifazane ukuze kwenziwe ukuphila komndeni kube isisekelo esiqinile sokuthuthukiswa komphakathi?
Imfundo kumele ixhumane nempilo yomphakathi. Ngeke nje kwehlukaniswe kuyo. Kufanele kulungiselele abesifazane bethu abasha ukuthi bakhule babe abantu abavuthiwe nabalungiseke kahle. Uma uvuthiwe futhi ulungiseke kahle ungafunda noma yini kunoma isiphi iminyaka kodwa uma ugoqa okuthile, wazi lokho nje futhi ungase ukukhohlwe ukuze imfundo yakho ibe yizimo eziphuthumayo. Manje sizama ukwenza imfundo ibe nesisekelo esibanzi, sibe nokuqeqeshwa okukhulu kwemisebenzi yezandla. Kodwa angicabangi ukuthi imfundo kufanele iphelele ekuqeqesheni umsebenzi ngoba uma kungathiwa ubizo aluyitholi indawo emphakathini oshintshayo, khona-ke lowo muntu uzophinde akhishwe. Ngakho-ke inhloso yangempela ayikona kakhulu lokho umuntu akwaziyo ukuthi umuntu uba yini okungukuthi uma uba uhlobo olulungile lomuntu, ungabhekana nezinkinga eziningi futhi impilo yanamuhla inezinkinga eziningi kunanini ngaphambili futhi ingxenye enkulu yalo mthwalo iwela ngokukhethekile. kwabesifazane ngoba kumele bagcine ukuzwana ekhaya. Ngakho-ke kwezemfundo, owesifazane akakwazi ukuzivalela ngempela kwisayensi yasekhaya ngoba ingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu yokuphila ukuthi uqhubeka kanjani nabanye abantu, umyeni wakho, abazali, izingane nokunye.
Ubulokhu unokholo olukhulu ekuqineni kowesifazane, enkulumweni uqhathanise umkhumbi nowesifazane futhi wathi kufanele abe nokukhuthazela okwengeziwe. Ngabe ucabanga ukuthi abesifazane bangaletha izinguquko eziningi ku-social fabric kunamadoda?
Yebo, ngoba uqondisa ingane phakathi neminyaka ethatheka kakhulu futhi noma yini efakwe enganeni yakhe ihlala impilo yayo yonke kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ineminyaka emingaki. Nguye othi ngisho emadodeni akhe umoya ekhaya.
Ifa lika-Indira Gandhi lisaphila nanamuhla njengomakoti wakhe uSonia Gandhi, njengomongameli we-Indian Congress Party.
