Translate into Hindi
Women in modern times see themselves differently compared to the past. They no longer consider
themselves to be inferior to men. They are not content with the ‘limited duties’ of the home. Many
have pursued very successful careers. It is now a distant memory when women were seen only as
housewives and mothers performing simple domestic tasks.
Now a wife wishes to have similar status to that of her husband. Quite often both partners are highly
educated and may look for jobs in their own fields. Wives and husbands need to communicate on equal
terms. Men’s views are also changing. They may even take leave from their work to take care of the
children and attend to the everyday needs of the home and family.
Of course these are not the only changes which have taken place in society today. Young people
have created their own styles of dress, music and ways of relating to each other. This breakaway from
tradition has created a wide difference between young people and their elders. This difference between
the views of young and old is called the ‘generation gap’.
