Since
early
years,
Vasundhara
Raje’s
interest
has
always
been
in
the
area
of
Women
empowerment.
While
she
was
young,
she
used
to
question
to
her
mother
Rajmata
Vijayaraje
Scindia
as
to
why
women
were
treated
unequally
in
a
democracy.
In
those
times,
there
existed
many
social
deformities
affecting
the
welfare
of
women
like
the
Sati
system,
female
foeticide,
lack
of
education
for
the
girl
child
etc.
In
her
early
years,
VasundharaRaje
could
see
how
worse
the
situation
of
Women
had
become
in
a
country
which
has
the
tradition
of
worshipping
women.
A young Vasundhara kissed off all these notions. She knew she had to do something for the welfare of the mothers and sisters of her land. She believed that for the revolution of women empowerment to succeed, it is necessary that a woman be treated in the same way as man. Therefore, to make women liberated, it is essential that progress of women under any government should be encouraged and her rights should be safeguarded.
Several years later, she became the first woman Chief Minister of a state like Rajasthan, which was traditionalized as a man-‐centered state. Smt. Vasundhara Raje was awarded the ‘Women Together Award’ under the aegis of United Nations for encouraging khadi products and kota doria during her stint as a chief minister of the state.
Another unknown fact about her is that Vasundhara Raje loves children. She is blessed with a granddaughter whom she loves to spend time with. In the picture below, Vasundhara Raje is showering kiss and love on children.
She strongly condemns female foeticide and in her term had made many reforms against people involved in such malpractices. Her belief is that a child is the base of all ideas, all wonders, hopes and dreams, especially girl child, since she is the symbol of strength, tolerance and wisdom. She believes that daughters are the incarnations of God who come to the world with a kiss of joy and a faith for a better future.
