Feminism: an Assamese point of view

-
                    Feminism: an Assamese point of view    I am a feminist. There is no disagreement on this. But many people don't understand what feminism means. Feminism and male hatred are two different things, just like that feminism and special privilege are not the same. Besides radical feminism, mainstream feminism speaks about gender equality. Gender and sex are not the same. Now it is understood that it is contradictory with the idea of special privilege with this gender equality. From our movies to society the whole system has created a stereotype that women are weak and that's why men should take responsibility of the whole world.

If you have read 'Muru eta xopun ase' the one of the best selling book in Assamese language, you may know its writer Dr. Rubul Mout, and his lifelong struggle through poverty and his recent triumph as a Harvard Research Scholar.  A few weeks ago on the whatsapp status of Anjan Jyoti Deka the Theoretical physicist from Assam, I got a great news of Rubul Mout, conducting regular session for science enthusiasts for Assam. The post included an link to his web page on Harvard website and even provided his email.  This is like having Heaven on hand (Hatote swarga pua). The Rubul Mout, talking to him is like an impossible dream. I just mailed from phone without expecting any results as I am already accustomed to rejection due to numerous failed PhD applications. Just next morning I got a reply from him, I am like reply from THE Rubul Mout, and in THE morning when even I was not left my bed. Without getting any late I called all my Juniora and seniors whoever I...
