And the world has still yet to recover from that decision

[Vishakha_B]

In India, women had equal rights even thousands of years ago. We began losing our rights after Abrahamic invasions.

❤ U Palki with your Blues & your News 😊

Time to repeal that law. No good came from it.

[MaryMclare-spvx]

Well done women. I think government forget these days that they work for the people. Thank you for sharing your video with us the people in the world

[sheshan]

Men fought and died literally 1000's of years to have power and these women got it just by showing placard.

Don't tell me men and women are equal, they are created for different activities not every roll has to be played by both men and women because we are not equal.
If we are equal God would have created either men or women.

[solitude]

And these nations lecture India on women's rights.

[k.dineshpillay.]

Absolutely right ✅ but still very few women r members of the senate

[lifeliving]

In India 46.1crores were women voters and 49.0 crores were men voters during the 2019 elections.
Women vote do count.

[tooltrader]

Yeah, it took a long time to happen but there are countries where women still don't have that opportunity. There's countries that make women were a cloak from head to foot.

[studioashlan]

It is the same fight in 2022 in Iran for their right to attire, look at the treatment they have been given.

[MaryMclare-spvx]

Not a lot of any kind of honest voting gets done.

[monojitbhattacharya]

And they lecture us on equality!😂 Bharat had been far more progressive beyond their imagination.
Now, we have to rebuild our education system to reach back to our previous standard.

[dudleyjones]

USA in 1920 white women were granted the right to vote correction

[_Sun_Tzu]

That was real feminism...now it's just needless breast thumping

[AKA_ABpositive_]

And they call us Socity of PATRIARCHY 😂

[seanlee]

Husbands were head of households voted for the family so woman could be home with children doesnt mean they didnt go out and take kids and do stuff...people make everyyhing look like abuse...womans rights and others rights now look with ur eyes the very things are here now what my great grandfather and great grandmother said ...a house divided will fall...
