The work opportunities available for men and women are not equal. Because of the demands of the family and society, a woman has to make many sacrifices. Moreover, many job opportunities are considered to be more relevant for men than women.
<hr />Fewer opportunities and rigid expectations
If we are asked to have an image of a nurse, a scientist and a teacher in our mind; the result is a female for nurse and teacher; and a male as a scientist. This is because this is what we commonly see. Moreover, every job requires certain characteristics in a person. A nurse is supposed to be very patient and soft; hence we always expect a nurse to be a female. On the other hand a scientist is supposed to be extraordinarily intelligent; a trait often associated with males in the society. Presuming some roles for men and some for women is also because of the roles played by girls and women in the family and society. Since people believe in stereotypes, many girls do not get the same encouragement and support from the family for taking up studies in engineering and medical fields. In fact girls are expected to get married once they finish school.
We live in a society where children are pressurized by the people around them. The pressure could be from
- Adults of the family
- Other children of the same age group
An example of pressure specific to gender is the disapproval regarding boys crying in front of others. Boys are forced by the elders in the family to take up full time mainstream jobs thus discouraging them from pursuing their passion in the field of art, music, etc.
<hr />Learning for change
Going to school is an important part of our lives. When we see more and more children joining school, it seems to be very natural to go to school. But in the earlier days, the skill of reading and writing were known only to a few. There were also lots of superstitions attached to educating women. For example two centuries ago it was believed that educated women would bring ill luck to their husbands and hence they would become widows!
Children used to learn the skills and activities in which their family was engaged. There was extreme gender bias in the earlier days. In communities, where the male child was taught to read and write, girls were not allowed to learn the alphabet. Even in families where skills like pottery, weaving, craft, etc. were taught, the contribution of the females was only supportive and not main. For example regarding pottery, women collected mud and prepared the earth for pots. But they did not operate the wheel. Hence they were not seen as potters.
Many new ideas about education and learning emerged in the nineteenth century. Schools became more common. Many communities that were earlier not sending their children to school started sending them to school for formal education. There was lot of resistance regarding educating women. With a lot of effort of many women and men, schools were opened for girls. Females struggled to read and write.
<hr />Breaking Stereotypes
- Lakshmi Lakra: 27 – year old Lakshmi Lakra from a poor family in a tribal village in Jharkhand is the first woman engine driver for Northern Railways.
- Ramabai (1858-922): She championed the cause of women’s education. She was given the title ‘Pandita’. This was because she could read and write Sanskrit. She never went to school. She learnt to read and write from her parents. She set up a Mission (which is still active today) near Pune in 1898 where poor women and widows were encouraged to become literate and independent.
- Rashsundari Devi (1800-1890): Her autobiography in Bangla titled Amar Jiban is the first known autobiography written by an Indian woman. She used to secretly take out pages from the books of her son and husband. She learnt by matching the letters/words with the ones she remembered/heard during the course of her days. Through her own writing, she could express and let the world know about women’s lives in those days.
- Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain: She knew how to read and write Urdu but was not allowed to learn Bangla and English. She learnt these with the help of her brother and sister. She became a writer and wrote a remarkable story titled Sultana’s Dream in 1905. In 1910, she also started a school for girls in Kolkata, which is still functioning today.

A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun and does the work of a noun,
e.g: Ram is a boy. Ram reads in class seventh. Ram is a good athelete.
Ram works hard. Ram obeys his parents. Ram is an ideal student.
Here, A boy Ram has been described and a few of his qualities have been said. But, the repeated use of a noun lets the beauty of writing fade away and hence we need to replace the noun by a pronoun. When we use pronoun in place of the noun then it preserves the beauty of writing.
Ram is a boy. He reads in class seventh. He is a good athelete. He works hard. He obeys his parents. He is an ideal student.
Now, as the pronoun ‘He’ has replaced the noun ‘Ram’ the sentences are very much pleasing to read. Pronoun saves the noun from getting repeated and also beautifies the sentence.

The reaction between an acid and a base to give a salt and water is known as a neutralisation reaction. Acids and bases react with each other to nullify the effect of each other. Let us consider a simple reaction. Take a sample of NaOH which is a base and add drops of dilute HCl.
The reaction will be as follows:
NaOH (aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Therefore while suffering from acidity it is prescribed to take antacid which are bitter in taste i.e. they are base. And on entering the body the base neutralise the excess acid released into the stomach and convert it into salt and water.

Mansabdars
Mansabdars had a military background and were the heads of small areas called mansabs. They were officials who had the duty to maintain army units according to their capability. They fulfilled the military needs of the Mughal empire and were given revenue from their mansab in return. The mansabdari system was basically a decentralization of the army. The mansabdars were answerable to the emperor.
Jagirdars
The jagirdari system involved the division of the empire into a number of jagirs. The jagirdar was responsible for the maintenance of the financial system of the area. He collected the revenue from the area and handed it over to the central empire.
The difference between them is that the former was responsible for the military management and the latter managed the revenue collection.
