 Depicting difference in the thinking of the society then
and now. Ancient ,medieval and present……

5. When we think of business why do we think of a
businessman.. Why not businesswoman?
It has always been a hard and fast rule in the Indian society that
women are supposed to handle the household chores and look
after the needs of the family members.. But, its high time to
counteract this stubborn thought and realise their actual potential.
The net productivity of the women is definitely much more than
the men, as they manage both the home and outside work in a
well-balanced way. With respect to the revenue generation of the
country, encouragement of women definitely has helped with new
innovative ideas for the implementation in various spheres of life,
giving a better proposal at the international market.
Mind that: The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world!
