Indian women most optimistic in world: Survey

Indian women are more optimistic in the world compared to their counterparts in the developed nations. Despite facing a lot of stress, women in India splash money on health, vacations, beauty products and electrical appliances and are gaining greater control over their lives, according to a survey.

A survey of 6,500 women across 21 developed and developing countries revealed that Indian women are most optimistic about opportunities for growth, with 78% of the lot confident about better financial stability and better chances for education for their daughters. "Indian women are now more able in making simple day-to-day decisions. It is getting increasingly important for marketers to understand their attitudes," said Surekha Poddar, executive director, customised research, Nielsen Indian Region. While 58% said they had more opportunities to reduce stress compared to their mothers, 78% believed that their daughters would have more opportunities than them. Despite getting increasingly indulgent in clothes, health and beauty, more than three-fourth of the surveyed lot gave more importance to saving for their children's education.

"Women in India see greater hopes for their daughters in terms of growth opportunities. This is starkly different from the women in developed countries, who

have been empowered with the freedom of choice for a while now," said Poddar. In terms of media consumption too, 51% of Indian women are now viewing more television than they were two years ago, as compared to 40% of the female respondents globally. 77% of Indian women believe that their daughters will have more opportunities in accessing technology.

"Indian women are slowly being influenced by their use of technology and access to the internet, though their remains a significant reliance on traditional media," Poddar said.

However, greater empowerment of women has led to greater stress too. Around 87% of Indian women said they often felt pressured for time, while 64% said they felt stressed all the time, as opposed to 54% and 38% of women respectively, in the developed countries. "Balancing traditional responsibilities with the new-age pressures is a big challenge for Indian women. Her growing expectation from herself to perform both these tasks efficiently results in stress," Poddar added.

Fitness Trainer Raped Twice In Delhi GYM

IIPM Prof Rajita Chaudhuri - The New Age Woman

A 24-year-old woman, who works as a physical trainer, has alleged that she was raped twice in the changing room of a gym at the DDA sports complex in Sector 11, Dwarka, first by the manager and then by another trainer.

Both the accused, residents of Meerut currently residing in west Delhi, have been remanded to 14 days' judicial custody. Shockingly, the victim has been sacked by the private fitness training company after the incidents, along with the accused.

The woman, a resident of Mangolpuri, is separated from her husband and has filed for divorce. Sources claimed she landed the job through a friend, another gym trainer who was a friend of Ajay, one of the accused.

The police said the woman was transferred from the Paschim Vihar branch of the fitness centre on June 15 to undergo training as an instructor. According to her complaint, Ajay approached her around 11am on June 19 with a white powder after she had complained of a headache. The victim reportedly felt dizzy after having the powder and went to changing room to sit. The accused followed her there and raped her.

"The victim said out of fear she did not tell anyone about the attack," claimed one of her acquaintances.

According to the complaint, the victim's mother was threatened by the accused and her boyfriend beaten up when they came to the DDA complex. The boyfriend was taken to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital for treatment after which an FIR was registered.

"After getting the medical report of the victim, the police filed an FIR of rape against the duo and they were arrested," said the police official. According to the DDA officials, the contract for maintaining and running the gym had been awarded to Himanshu Bhardwaj, director of SAB fitness and training centre. The accused and the victim were employees of this fitness center.

"I don't know if these allegations are true but the contradictory statements given by the woman indicate that the trainer is being framed. I don't want to comment further as the matter is under investigation," Bhardwaj said.

He said the victim was his employee for the past six months, while the accused were working for him for around a year.

Anna Hazare to put conditions for Baba Ramdev to join fast

IIPM Excom Prof. Rajita Chaudhuri's Profile

After allowing Baba Ramdev to share the dais with him during his fast in Jantar Mantar in April and later voicing support to the yoga guru, veteran Gandhian Anna Hazare has now laid down a set of "conditions" for Ramdev before letting him join his proposed fast in August.

Speaking to TV reporters in Maharashtra late Sunday, Anna Hazare said: "Baba has expressed his wish to sit on fast with me but I have placed a set of demands in front of him. If they are met, then I will think about it."

Adding to it, a member of civil society activists led by Hazare said in Delhi: "This is not the first time that Anna has said this. Earlier too he had mentioned that he will welcome Baba Ramdev to join his fast only after they talked about certain issues."

Anna Hazare has announced that he will sit on another fast on August 16 at Jantar Mantar for a strong Lokpal Bill.

While he supported Ramdev's campaign against corruption and even sat on a one-day fast after the yoga guru was ousted from the capital's Ramlila Ground amid bedlam on June 5, his statement of raising an army of 11,000 young men and women to strike back when attacked did not go down well with Hazare and his team.

Ramdev returned to the capital on Sunday and accused the police of trying to kill him and assaulting women during the June 5 crackdown, when they were protesting against corruption.
