An Open Letter To All Indian Women

You are a resident of India. You pay your taxes. You work. You have a beautiful home and you take great pains in maintaining it.

You give great thought to your wardrobe, ensure that all deadlines are met at work, spend time with your family and meet friends and relatives as and when time permits. You attend to every little detail and ensure that nothing goes unnoticed.

Well, almost.

Some details have gone unnoticed. You forget that before anything else, you are a powerful woman. What does that mean? You have the power to decide who gets to make your life easier in this country.

Like you, 49% of women in India have the same power too. YOU, and the rest of them. A big group of women with one power – to VOTE for a government that is attentive of their issues. And why shouldn’t that be so? You almost form half the base that elects the government. Isn’t that something? Now imagine if the lot of you decide to use the power, and use it wisely. Go vote, and encourage every woman you know to vote.

You may have a perfect home, a great professional career, may be the friend everyone wants to have – but before everything else, you must be the one thing that you are not right now – be fair to yourself. Use Your Vote. Make the system aware of the 49% that YOU belong to.Don’t start a movement. Just join the one you already are a part of - #PowerOf49!
