International Women’s Day – a Step towards Gender Empowerment By – Keshab Chandra Mandal, Ph. D. E-Mail: mandalkeshab2013@gmail.com Introduction About one and a half centuries have elapsed since John Stuart Mill, the British Member of Parliament spoke vehemently in the Parliament for the voting right of women. Mill, the foreseer politician and philosopher, perfectly understood the necessity of voting right for women because it is the only weapon by which women can play decisive role in electing representatives of their choice and getting elected in democratic decision-making bodies.

The life of Buddha shows that even a man who does not believe in God, has no metaphysics, belongs to no sect, and does not go to any church, or temple, and is a confessed materialist, even he can attain to the highest...
