Salma on Girls' Education and Gender Double Standards
55 sec Machine translated Life & society
Peace be upon you. And peace be upon you.
Wow! Nobody's scared at all. Glad to hear that.
My name is Salma. I have a husband, two children, a shameless mother-in-law, a dumb dad-in-law, two lazy sisters-in-law and two useless brothers-in-law.
That's just my in-laws, Same at my parents' home.
I only studied up to tenth grade. It's not that I didn't want to study, there were too many children in our family and too little money.
So my father said, "What good is educating a girl?"
And made me stay at home. He educated my brothers.
He made them repeat grades, but he educated only them.
I don't swear, and swearing isn't a good thing either.
But I don't do it. I'm a girl, right? If a woman swears, she gets disgraced.
But with men, if you swear, it's OK, they even give awards.

Original transcript (Hindi)
अस्सलाम वालेकुम। वालेकुम अस्सलाम। अरे वाह! किसी को भी डर नहीं लग रहा।
अच्छा लगा सुनके।
मेरा नाम सलमा है। मेरे को एक पति, दो बच्चे, एक बेगैरत सास, एक बेवकूफ ससुर, दो कामचोर ननद और दो निकम्मे देवर हैं।
ये खाली ससुराल की बात है, मायके में भी है।
मैं खाली 10th class तक ही पढ़ी सो हूँ। ऐसा पढ़ना नहीं था बोलके नहीं, हमारे घर में बच्चे ज़्यादा हो गए और पैसे कम हो गए।
तो हमारे बाबा बोले, औरत बच्ची को पढ़ा के क्या करने का है बोलके मेरे को घर में बिठा दिए।
मेरे भाइयों को पढ़ाया। एक ही class में दो-दो बार पढ़ाया, मगर उनको ही पढ़ाया।
गाली नहीं देती और देना अच्छी बात भी नहीं है।
मगर मैं नहीं देती। क्या है, बच्ची दिए ना, औरत बच्ची गाली दिए तो बदनाम हो जाती है।
अब मर्द लोग का कैसा है, आप गाली दिए तो कुछ भी नहीं, award-ward दे देते हैं आपको।
