This year too, girls outscored boys in the XII exams in the state of Tamil Nadu. This has been a reoccurring theme every year, for quite sometime. I dont quite recall a time, when boys ever scored more.
When i saw the picture below in The Hindu, i was suddenly filled with a sense of pride and happiness.
Small town girls, reveling and partaking in their friends success. If
every small town shared similar success and girls from these places
truly know their place in society, what a better place this world would be.
Yet, it is disheartening to note that this self-confidence is left by the wayside of life. And we remain forever a male dominated society, reducing women to mere vassals in a larger scheme. I long for this situation to change. Many ills of our society are driven by the male ego, and hence i feel the world would be a better place without that.When i saw the picture below in The Hindu, i was suddenly filled with a sense of pride and happiness.

| Susmitha from Namakkal topped the exams by scoring 1,189 out of 1,200 marks |
Looking forward. Hoping these cheering girls would lead that change. Good luck to Susmitha and all those girls who successfully took on this years class XII exams.
