Feminism from the Perspective of Thiru. V. Kalyanasundaranar

http://www.shanlaxjournals.com 135 £UP® Shanlax International Journal of Tamil Research Feminism from the Perspective of Thiru. V. Kalyanasundaranar Dr. A. Annamary Assistant Professor St. Vallanar College of Arts and Science (Autonomous), Cuddalore Abstract The well-being of a nation largely depends on the status of its women. Equality between men and women should be maintained, with appropriate discipline, restraint, education, and training being vital for both genders. Women must be protected in the same way as men. Only by safeguarding them can a prosperous society be achieved. A nation’s prosperity relies on having virtuous citizens. Women who bear and nurture children should be raised as exemplary individuals, and from a young age, they should receive proper training and protection. This essay, titled ‘Protection of Womanhood’ from the perspective of Mr. V.K., discusses and emphasizes the importance of safeguarding women. References 1. A.
