Soul stirring... someone who thought so nobly... and let the thought flow into melody seamlessly... Sonu putting life in words... I can hear it 100 times back to back...and another 100 times back to back... day on day!

I'd applaud these high-sounding sentiments if it didn't strike me as being incredibly sentimental and backward looking. This song negates the possibility of a woman EVER being a person in her own right, not defined solely by her relationship to other people. This song deifies the 'ideal' woman. Poor real woman: who has been trying for so long, and by the sound of it, will continue to try for even longer, in vain, to break out of stereotypes that make a martyr out of her.

that's very interesting; could you explain your reasoning? i don't understand all of the song, and i was wondering if you could translate it also (it'll probably help me understand your opinion). thanks!

Okay here goes:
Here is the translation:
Blessed be the womans life, dedicated to others
You dont think of yourself
Sometimes you are a mother sometimes a daughter, sometimes a lover, sometimes a wife or a sister
Why does the world not worship you?
In every season of this life you are the attraction
Your companionship is the mirror of all beauty
When you sparkle the whole world knows
When you wither it is locked in a mind
May this living goddess not be lost.

So basically: she is an appendage to a man (i.e. the singer/lyricist/male gaze), to be worshipped (need I point out the billions of uses of the word "goddess"?)and owned (mother/wife/daughter) and stared at (you are the attraction). So yeah, sing this pompous patronising song, and you are perfectly at rights to perpetuate this casual misogyny: or so the song suggests. Why should a human being be worshipped for her "sacrifices"? Does a man face these choices? No!

wow, those are beautiful lyrics! thank you so much for translating! i see where you are coming from, but i took it more as he was trying to pay homage to mothers and woman that dedicate their lives to their children, not necessarily objecting all women to the title of "baby-makers." i also agree that men do not face these choices, obviously; women were physically created for giving birth. this does not mean, however, that all women must have children, it's just a biological fact.

I think he was just paying a tribute and showing his respect for women in a positive light, and not in a discriminating way. interesting point though, and thanks again!
(this is to enterprisingwoman's comments... oops haha)

I think Madam u missed the point. The lyrics of this song CELEBRATES the Indian Woman who did not / does not have the equality, opportunities, expanse and exposure that the enterprising woman of today does!

There is no denial from the fact that every human being should be respected. But before giving such a prejudiced statement have you yourself seen the other part of the world. There the degree is for sure less and things are hidden (better to say controlled). We by our teachings keep them at the highest place (irony is that it is not implemented). You cannot find such songs anywhere else which is potryal of our foundation.
