If you're a woman in India, you know that life isn't smooth. Your male counterparts get to enjoy more benefits than you just because they were endowed with a different sex organ. Whereas, you are asked to come home on time, get married by the age of 25, be soft spoken, stay away from drinking and smoking, and basically, be as sushil and sanskaari as you can. Well, I can rant about all the things that are wrong with the way we treat our women but somebody else has a better take on the stereotypical notions of women that our society still feeds on. Kanika Kaul, a young designer from Mumbai, encapsulates all the archaic notions that an Indian woman is supposed to abide by, in five tongue-in-cheek humorous posters. The quintessential guide for every lady to follow.

Say no to jeans. Duh, Sanskaar bro!

As written in our ancient revered scriptures, "comfort to the dogs and women can suck it." Our traditions stipulate that women look their sexiest in a saree, preferably on the big screen, standing under a waterfall. Aping western culture and opting for practical, comfortable clothing is causing the downfall of our Indian-ness. Not to mention how titillating you will look to random men on the road who will see nothing wrong in teasing you and then blaming it on your clothes. But you're in a saree. Nothing wrong with that. Let's explain this with an equation.

The amount of clothes on your body is directly proportional to your SS or Sanskaar Score. Higher your SS, the closer you are to becoming the perfect Indian woman!

Embrace violence. Because hey! you ask for it.

Come on ladies, do you have no idea how frustrating when you be sometimes? I mean, your husband comes home drunk out of his mind and you get upset? How dare you? What other option does he have other than to slap you across the face? The bruises are consequences of your own doing, ladies, Stop blaming other people for what they do to you.

Your husband, and every other man, is entitled to do what he likes to you, as long as you remember you deserve it. You deserve all of it. The catcalling, the eve-teasing, the physical violations, everything. What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. And if it does kill you, it's because you asked for it.
