Re: Desi Independent Woman
My parents has a similar mindset. I was allowed to drive in highschool, but couldnt' go "past the railroad tracks" a certain boundry between one part of town and another, and never on the interstate. I never challenged the boundaries till I went to college, but to this day my dad worries. I guess that was there way of keeping me safe, and keeping me out of the places they thought I didn't need to be.
Re: Desi Independent Woman
My dad would drive me to and from school every single day for 12 years. And if i had to take the bus (in high school; grade/jr high was walking distance), my mom had to go home with me. Can you imagine how humiliating that was? I wasnt’ allowed to go to the corner store until i was 17. And it’s funny coz when I was 10 yrs old i was allowed to go rollerblading alone around the neighborhood. Go figure 
Re: Desi Independent Woman
There is an oxymoron of “Desi Independent women” but it does not deal with them being less physically sovereign. I think there are many Desi women who have been to school, gotten the education than a job but still do not have an idea to what to do with their lives and money they make, long-term planning that is. Those are the real oxymoron of Desi independent women.

^ Aren't there guys who have the same problem? I don't see how that's a gender issue?
Stupidity is transgender.
Re: Desi Independent Woman
PyariCgudia, I am not talking about the phase where we all think what we should do with our lives rather women who regardless of job and education remain or insist on being dependent on others. That stigma is not attached with males. Independence for males is being able to provide for their families. In majority, a female income is a bonus and when we see women who despite having the education and job lack the long-term planning really make the case of them the oxymoron of Desi Independent Women.

Re: Desi Independent Woman
Being independent is a new for desi women, as it is for desi men to view them as such. They are chartering new territory. Give it some time Ahmedjee, things will fall into place
Re: Desi Independent Woman
ahmadjee you have some valid points there. I guess one that that we have to consider is culture as well. The hypothetical example you mentioned where a desi woman would chat with your wife and leave the men to do all the work, this is part of our culture. Women are sheltered. It has nothing to do with women themselves. Its not that they are lazy or something. We grow up thinking that there are certain roles / jobs for men and then different ones for women. Things are changing but it takes time to rid of the old traditions and mentality.
