To day's Subhashit.

यत्र नार्यस्तु पूज्यन्ते रमन्ते तत्र देवता  
यत्र एता न पूज्यन्ते  सर्वास्तत्र अफला क्रियाः 

Yatra naaryastu poojyante ramante tatra Devataah
Yatra eta na poojyante sarvaastatra aphalaa kriyaah.

i.e.    In a community where women folk are respected and adored, God bestows His mercy and bounty there and where this is not done efforts made to improve the lot of the community become unsuccessful .

Yatra = where     Naaryastu = women.  Poojyante =  worshipped, adored, respected.
Ramante =like to reside.      Tatra = there          Devta = gods
Eta = they.       Afalaa= without any result, futile .    Kriyaa = action , doing any  work.

     The idea behind this Subhashit is that women folk play an equally important role  in creating prosperity and well being of the society and if they are treated well and respected it is akin to pleasing the Gods.  This Subhashit is oft quoted but in actual practice women are discriminated and ill treated in all walks of life among many communities in India, with the result that they are still backward .and underdeveloped.       .
