00:30Thank you for this wonderful welcome in Pune.
00:43The idea behind this evening is, as is written over there, break the cage.
00:58I'd first like to remind you of one thing. Can I do that?
01:05Now all of you in your lives must have been told many things, nice things, bad things.
01:18Many of you must have felt scared. Do you feel scared sometimes on the street? You do?
01:25But I want you to remember one thing. If there is one thing that you remember from this evening, it
01:33is this.
01:36That every single one of you, every single one of you is unique in this universe.
01:46If I was to look, if I was to look for any one of you, I will not be able
01:54to find a replica of that person.
01:56You are unique, you are special, you are individual and you have your own dream, your own vision for your
02:06life.
02:07Am I right or am I wrong?
02:08I am right.
02:11Many times, people ask me, what is India's biggest strength?
02:21And you get many answers when you ask this question.
02:24Somebody will say our economy.
02:27Somebody will say our military.
02:30Somebody will say our medical system.
02:34Somebody might even say our people.
02:38But I am very clear on what is India's biggest strength, our biggest asset.
02:47And that strength is 70 crore unique journeys, unique imaginations, unique dreams that the women of India are living.
03:01Somebody might say to me, well, there are 70 crore men.
03:07How do you say that 70 crore women are more important?
03:15What is your logic?
03:17My logic is the following.
03:19Women are by nature more sensitive, more gentle, more compassionate and more forward-looking than men.
03:33And that is why I believe fundamentally that India's women, young, old, are India's biggest asset.
03:45Now, a problem hai, a lot of big problem hai.
03:51Problem kya hai?
03:54Problem hai ki whenever I speak to a man,
03:59whenever I speak to a man,
04:04women are put in three boxes.
04:09You are either seen as a daughter,
04:14as a wife,
04:16or as a mother.
04:18Now, there is nothing wrong
04:20with being seen as a wife,
04:23daughter or mother.
04:24Nothing wrong with it.
04:25But this cannot be our only identity.
04:29It cannot be that we have brilliant women
04:37who are doing completely fascinating and different things,
04:43who are professionals,
04:45who are sports women,
04:47who do multiple different things,
04:49and then the only identity
04:52that they are given
04:53by our men
04:54is these three.
04:57And notice
04:58that every single one of those identities
05:02has a relationship
05:04with a man.
05:05So you are
05:06either a mother
05:07or a wife
05:09or a daughter.
05:11And I'd like to quote over here
05:14the Manusmriti
05:16which says
05:18clearly
05:19in childhood
05:21a female
05:23must
05:24be subject
05:25to her father.
05:27Meaning
05:28the Manusmriti
05:30says
05:30in childhood
05:32a female
05:33belongs to her father.
05:35In youth
05:37she belongs
05:38to her husband.
05:40When her lord
05:41is dead
05:42she belongs
05:44to her sons.
05:46A woman
05:47must never
05:48be independent.
05:50This is a direct quote
05:52from the Manusmriti.
05:54And this
05:56these words
05:59are a shame.
06:01Because these words
06:02should never ever
06:04have been spoken.
06:06The most
06:07hello
06:09how are you?
06:11Hello.
06:14the
06:16biggest strength
06:17of this country
06:18is
06:19the fact
06:20that our women
06:21should be independent
06:23should stand
06:24for themselves
06:25should believe
06:26in themselves.
06:27You belong to nobody.
06:29You do not belong
06:30to anybody
06:31except yourself.
06:35you have a relationship
06:37with your father
06:38you have a relationship
06:40with your brother
06:42you have a relationship
06:43with your husband
06:44you have a relationship
06:46with your son
06:46but you do not
06:48belong to them
06:49you belong to yourself.
