In her keynote address, Prof Raina Khanam Mazumdar, Department of Arabic, Gauhati University said, “A woman during her school and college days is known by her name. But soon after marriage, it is common to refer to her as ‘so and so’s wife’ and after some more years as ‘so and so’s mother’.”
She said this is unfortunate. Thus she exhorted all women to pursue their interests and achieve excellence in those pursuits so that they get recognition for their own deeds and attain an identity of their own in the society.
