(Online Course) Essay Writing Skills Improvement Programme: Men have failed, Let Women Takeover Posted: 07 Aug 2012 01:25 AM PDT Part C - Essays on Social issues Men have failed; let women takeover For billions of years now the world is in existence and man has reigned supreme on the earth since the days of Adam and Eve. Till date, male domination, male chauvinism and male worship could not be replaced by saner thoughts. Women are exploited the world over; eastern nations cannot boast of their male dominant characteristics because there are many skeletons in the western cupboards as well. In all the fields of human endeavors women have proved that they are equal to (or, even better than) men. But they have been denied their rights to rule the world and manage its affairs with prudence. The fairer sex does not want to build up a castle on the rudiments of fiascos created by man. She only wants a chance to pro herself. We can explain how man has lost his turn to rule. The world has been ruled by men for long, and just one look at the state of things today makes one feel that they have played a poor part. They have failed to fulfill all hopes of making the world a better place to be in with the passage of time. The world today is ravaged by war and disease-and many other disasters created purely by the efforts of men to achieve more than they are capable of. It is a world showing symptoms of a dangerous kind, of things that would only destroy its well-being-the global arms race and the proliferation of nuclear weapons, a fast depleting ozone layer and other environmental hazards created by men at the helm. It is high time that women take over the reins although it would be a world of bleak prospects that would fall to their care. Man has valued women's abilities as a mother, sister, wife and friend. But he has not allowed her to take a front seat amidst chaos. That is what today's women wants, the power to take fruitful decisions. She is exploited every day and blamed for most of the vices man possesses. Man himself is corrupt and will not allow her to dominate him in any walk of life.

In the ninth century, separate clans of Rajput Chahamanas (Chauhans), Paramaras (Pawars), Guhilas (Sisodias), and Chaulukyas (Solankis) were branching off from sprawling Gurjara Pratihara clans. Rajput supremacy also stimulated the rise of warrior Jat peasant clans in Northen India in Rajasthan, the western Ganga basin, and Punjab where they built fortified villages and hilltop forts.
