“I am still chained to the mindset” – Migrating For Education In India.
Migrating for education is a real challenge in a country where women feels vulnerable.
Migrating makes women feel vulnerable for further and better education. Women faces difficulties in their daily life . The lack of women in positions of power , patriarchy , not enough women at the table , sexism , racism and economic inequality , access to equal opportunity , the lack of respect is what women of today generations are still facing and there is no sign of improvement .
In a country like India , girls are seen as a burden for their guardian. With 65.46% female literacy rate as per the 2011 census, migrating for education has become impossible for the women.
Art. 21A which provides that the state shall provide free and compulsory education to all children of the age 6–14 years. This act has now become a part of fundamental rights. RTE is the interpretation of right to development, hence making right to development also a fundamental right.
The act helps the female student to get up on their feet. But still parents prefer male to have education , as they believe that female are suppose to be at home learning house skills , to bear children and take care of their husbands. Some girls have develop there minds as a housewife since they where a wife . The thinking of girls are set to be the same even to this date.
Girl education campaign helps the growth of girl education in India.
Interview With A Student…
Miss Amrin Khan , Student of Dayananda Sagar University
Migration For Education – woman faces challenges.
Amrin Khan , 21 , from Arunachal Pradesh , is pursuing her dreams in Bengaluru. She has taken up physiotherapy as her medical course as well as interior designing as her weekend course. She also prefers painting in her free time.
She has answered the questions that we all know about it but are afraid to take any actions on . “Challenges in Migration” as a women and also born in an orthodox family.
The process of migrating from and north-eastern part of India is not a easy part. As India being the diverse cultural country, and as a woman migrating from such area is not an easy task. There is always a quarrel between the north and the southern part of our India.
Why so?
Miss Amrin Khan has said in the interview that she is stuck with the mindset of the people.
The beginning of her migrating journey starts with a direct no from her parents. Her parents were worried about her being too independent, being alone in the southern part of India, it’s not safe being so far from them.
Amrin struggled for her rights to be educated , to have education in Bangalore. With more facilities and opportunities, she started her life as an migrant student.
Is there any challenges?
“As a woman the problems are doubled, my parents were hesitating for me to move alone here to be independent. It’s all because I’m just a woman, it’s true. People still can’t let women be free to do as they please and I am no different. My parents supported me but I’m still change that to mindset.” – – Amrin Khan
Expectations VS Reality
Bangalore has just become a mixed emotions for women. It’s the mixture of 50% happiness and sadness. Amrin has explained in her interview that being away from her parents was like the comfort has been taken away.
Society has played a major role in migration
Human being are curious about everything, they will be curious if the person around Them is not around here. Societies are an expert to state the opinion forward.
The feeling of loneliness will be truly shown when your surrounding is full of negativity. Amrin experienced a lot of discriminating, racism, the way she looked, and every possible way to make a woman feel vulnerable in a unknown surroundings.
A country is said to be free when its citizens are not denied their fundamental rights basic rights or natural rights. In our country India,have a great constitution grants as many safeguards and provide us liberty to practise our rights and enhance them.
Women rights are one of them!
