International Women’s Day: True Peace Lies in Honoring the Mother – India’s Pride Beyond Hypocritical Celebrations, Shabu Zaidi

Happy Women’s Day! Honoring the Mother is the Foundation of Civilization
Heartiest greetings to all on International Women’s Day, March 8. This occasion is vital because women are our mothers. Their lap is our first madrasa, where we learn to walk the path of truth and protect humanity. This tradition dates back to the dawn of creation.The Purpose of Women’s Day and the Bitter Reality
This observance began with women’s protests at a New York garment factory in 1908, aimed at stopping their exploitation, harassment, and murders. Yet, femicide reports from March 8, 2025, to March 8, 2026, are shocking: Africa tops the list (3 per 100,000 women), followed by America (1.5 per 100,000)—the very place where this day originated. Asia averages 0.7. A recent “Ebsent File” report revealed the horrific abuse of girls under 18, where their flesh was cooked and eaten. In Iran’s war, a school bombing martyred 162 innocent girls. These are the nations that hypocritically preach world peace and women’s empowerment.India and Islamic Teachings: A Glorious Example
In our India, women are worshipped as divine incarnations—from Durga and Lakshmi to every form. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would stand in respect for his daughter, setting an exemplary standard for women’s honor. This respect endures here today. Cases like Trump’s child rape allegations or the dark truths of Western nations show that those who dominate social media hide their true character. Only those who truly honor women protect them.Message: Reject Hypocrisy, Embrace Truth
On Women’s Day, rise above fake celebrations. Adopt a culture like India’s, where honoring the mother is paramount. The real way to stop exploitation is through goodness, justice, and respect. Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! Happy Women’s Day to all!General Secretary
