A committed individual can achieve anything in the world. As Dr. Abdul Kalam said we may not have equal talent. But we all have equal opportunities to develop our talent.

Before freedom, the status of women within the country was in a deprived state. There was male dominance. Due to this the position of women was undermined. Child marriage was in practice at that time. The parents might be in opinion that getting married is better than sending them to school. The girls have to perform all the household activities. So the elder people are of the opinion that it is better than girls were not sent to the school.

Gender discrimination refers to inequalities between men and women in India. A girl is hot allowed to go to college after finishing her schooling. 

Most of the girls are not allowed to select a career of their choice. They are forced to get married. When compared to the past this discrimination was less at present.

Inequality means differences in treatment. The different forms of inequalities are social inequality, political inequality, and economic inequalities. 

Discrimination is being negative towards other people. Discrimination can happen on the basis of color, class, religion, and gender.

The remedial measures to be taken to remove inequality and discrimination are: 

1.  Quality basic services like healthcare and education are to be provided. 
2.  Reservations for women are to be provided. 
3.  Children have to know about other religions also. 
4.  Importance has to be given to moral values. We have a great culture.

I don’t support gender discrimination. In school, we play together, discuss in the classrooms together, and eat lunch together. We will compete with each other in our studies. We support them to compete with us in all aspects. As mentioned in the pledge we move like brothers and sisters.

Even today in some rural areas a girl is not allowed to go to college after finishing her schooling. Most of the girls are not allowed to select a career of their choice. They are forced to choose marriage instead of taking up a job. After marriage, she has to give up the job to raise children and to look after the family.
