Every person must have to share........

Gr8 share, agree with @Gardi. Women are not there in society to entertain everybody. They are neither in competition. Whatever she does best for her family, its enaught.

"...The biggest enemy of a woman is "womanhood"!..."

This is "pure hindutva" argument and attitude where everything is blamed on womenhood.

"....Indian women are more safe than other countries...."

Another hindutva attitude in a country where 80% of the crime against women are NEVER reported or recorded.

Indian women are more safe than other countries.The survey taken on ground of service and employment but in India 92.5% women are working in farm whitout any need of education.So no any stress can touch her.

Indian women and stress are the two opposite poles as they do not have stress but are the prime reasons for stress in men and society.
I do not agree with the report the report is biased and does not contain the correct statistics because 87% of Indian women can't be stressed out. False report.
Thanks for sharing

I agree with Jayagopal has said!! For Indian women to be strong such advises are not necessary at all. Its us in this society who are responsible for the degrading the being called "WOMAN"!

We have walked into this with our eyes open. But what needs to be understood here is the change in the society of acceptance of a girl as an equal to a boy. Reason being the TATA Steel advert on the electronic media of a woman who becomes a driver and has that shy smile which says that she is now getting respect in society. The big reason for this example is that this woman is not your middle management exec or an owner of an enterprise she is a mother of some 3 children and from a village!!! The sheer brilliance of this advert tells you the changing phenomenon in our mediocre sexist and still to a very large extent castist based society!!

Women have scored in all forms of life experiences and she still remains the most superior for she also gives birth to a life!!

Its so foolish and mindless when such advises are given and we lap it up particularly from a person who is spending his life in another country most of the time and not even remotely near being a phenomenon like Anna Hazare who is the single human being who is really striving for a better India single handedly!! Its sad that people like me remain on the sidelines and are mere observers and cant do much as our system has really buried us working class into making means for SURVIVAL and not leading a life on our terms!!

If someone is hurt by this answer, please excuse me as its not intended to anyone personally. But if it induces any thought at all... BLAME the self for being a part of the system that is merely an observatory and not a participant or recipient of such ridicules!!

Perhaps,,,the writer is telling us to dig ourselves deep....know urself..express urself...u can't be something ur not...so be what u wanna be!

Why ur connecting this article with the divorce rate? This article for the free minded person and for the people those who know the impact of ‘STRESS’. 

So plz ignore if you don’t like. Its upon you to follow it or not……is this clear to you Mr. Jaygopal 

First of all Yogita, are you trying to releive the stress of indian women or up the divorce rate ? If they were to follow your 5 points, the family courts would burst at the seams. That doesnt mean they have to take it lying down or be stamped upon or surrender even their souls. 

Things can be acheived without confrontation also. Women are the only beings in the world who have been given patience, love, care and fortitude by god. So your suggestions should revolve around these to get around the problem and not what you have suggested. 

Also one glaring insight stands out not only from your note but also from practical experience - the greatest enemy for women is women themselves and not men. But men end up getting harrassed due to no fault of theirs. 

This is my personal opinion. Thanks for the ref Gargi.

Yes it is a matter of concern but it appears this is the trend worldwide with various percentile difference.

Can this be reversed? But how? only a doctor can advise. Good observation. 

@Cherian, you are absloutely right, but when it comes to expressing, why wouldn't educated Indian women express?? It's only the illiterate ones who can't! Even those can make movies, documentaries, and express in their own langauge, who cares a damn!!!

Listen first of all, only cities in America are workaholic, the towns and villages are pretty sleepy and laid back. Even after this statistic, India is as pathetic as ever!!! Where's the silver lining???

Stress is a dangerous psychic state, if 80% Indian women feel so, it be due to anxiety and fear intermingled with inhibitions where one cannot express oneself enough to get anything accomplished.
Western societies liberate their women early in life say from 18 years most of them has to leave their home and mend for themselves, finding a job, a residence, their daily existence etc; they even raise money to educate them through a college. Then that environment has the infrastructure to support such a social issue and by the time they get to marriagable age they find their own partners after long courtship and caring for each other and then it is a life long romance till death part them for most of them. 
We have to change our social taboos and prejudices that women are week and they are infefficient and all that and need to give them avenues to grow and develop to adulthood then the stresslevels will come down and we can have well rounded individual women to live with in modernised state of our Nation like western countries.

Thanks for reference. Indian women are the best in the world. So why to get stressed. As bhagat says relax and enjoy life as it comes.

Gargi, Thanks for the reference. My 2 cents.....
Points number 1,2 and 3 would end up causing more stress.. the lady would be faulted for fighting with the ma-in-law, she would be without a job and the husband may also ask her to take a hike....  Chetan Bhagat's ideas sound good but in an Indian context where the entire mindset, not only of women, but mainly of men and their families, has to undergo a major change. These concepts are OK in a US context where divorces happen at the drop of a hat, not to forget that the US also has large number of instances of domestic violence.  Chetan Bhagat's points mentioned above might sound good to many women but any sane person who values family ties might not view it in the same light.

Bad things with excellent suggestions. Thanks for sharing. 

This will not be read who actually need because it is not possible to reach to them.So only comment is not enough but some hard and useful action should apply.

I hope that this article will open the mind of those who says we don't understand why women are stressed.  I just want to applaud the one who posted it.

Really good one, everyone must think  upon it.

This is good article by Chetan Bhagat, not only women but also men & children are facing lot of stressed. But, one thing we can say definitely that women are able to manage so many things simultaneously in stressed, i have also analyzed something that women have a strong inner energy that they can do many thing.

Thanks Gargi for referal

The biggest enemy of a woman is "womanhood"!  No two women can get along so easily! What could be the reason? The reason is not one of "enmity", but one of "jealousy"!  If they get over this syndrome, most the mundane issues would get thrashed out!  Wife starts complaining to the husband about mother-in-law, sister-in-law and his other siblings would vanish!  Its true, they don't get equitable treatment at in-laws place akin to parent's place.  We have been following this tradition for ages, and due to societal pressure, they are continuing this malady!  Each individual should be respected, irrespective of genders, and should be given space and privacy, which is not given!  Its time, we learn some lesson from Chetan Bhagat's article.

Good analysis of the Indian women status and how they should take life head on , guess Men are no diffrent when it comes to stress, they are equally stresed and troubled 

100% support from men is not possible we know. this article tell us that what we need to do when we dont have support.
   

It;s the fact about Indian women & it is due to our lessons of moral values & tradition taught to us from our childhood. 
& this situation can change only after 100% support from Indian men to Indian women in each & every field & at work place as well as at home.
On personal front I am giving 100% support to every women in life i.e. wife, mother,sister,sister-in-law, & ready to give it from time to time.
Thanks for sharing this nice article,Gargi.

grt one....

Really thoughtful. We must know what we deserve and live upto our expectations.
