About the Book

This book is a feminist book. It takes on patriarchy, it’s Myth-O-logy, it’s continuum, it’s ramifications, it’s spread, ... by its horns. It debunks the male privilege, hypocrisy, and its lethal reach. It’s not seeking any mercy, but rather demands its annihilation. It emerges from the RIGHTS perspective, and creates a Simone de Beauvoir template to unmask fabrications, prejudices, stereotypes, and stigmatisations. This book argues that feminism has been part of our heritage and not something alien to our culture. It comes up with a pledge that all men and patriarchs (including men and women) need to take. This book delves deep into some disturbing questions from the construction of gender, stereotypes and patriarchy, to discrimination, to oppression of women (understanding woman vs. woman reality – a patriarchal outlook), to being with the homeless women, to the journey of the foetus, to the murder of womb, to rape, to private hospitals murdering women, than curing, to private mental health institutions locking sane women to be at the beck and call of patriarchy, to norms entrenching women’s rights, to equality, ... This book is for all enquiring minds. It does answer many questions, as it raises many still. We all need to be better human beings, fuller human beings, a feminist than a patriarch. This book is a small attempt in that direction. It is plea for all men to transform themselves and to the women to explore their potentials to the fullest. We need to create a society that persecutes none. Glorifies None. Horrifies None. A society which relates to all equally, with dignity and justice, is the dream of this book and all its authors, young and old! Indu Prakash Singh, an eminent activist, a human rights defender, sociologist, socio-spiritual activist, poet, author, a feminist, a TEDX Speaker and a PRA/ PLA practitioner / facilitator, is currently Consultant with large number of development organisations.
