                              2. With this Treaty, Germany had to return its colonies of Africa.<\/li>\n
                              3. It had to return Alsace and Lorraine which it had occupied from France.<\/li>\n
                              4. It had to limit its army to only one Iakh.<\/li>\n
                              5. It had to limit its navy to a small one without submarines.<\/li>\n
                              6. Germans felt all this as slavish and an insult.<\/li>\n
                              7. Hitler rose to power by making use of these situations and finally he dragged the entire world into the War.<\/li>\n

                                  \nA) Gender bias still prevails in our country. It is very unfortunate.
                                  \nReasons:<\/p>\n

                                    \n
                                  1. Ours is a male-dominated society.<\/li>\n
                                  2. Female literacy rate is low.<\/li>\n
                                  3. Women who work outside the homes are less in number.<\/li>\n
                                  4. Traditionally women have less involvement in social Life in our society.<\/li>\n
                                  5. Still today there are at least some parents who think that \u201cudyogam purusha Lakshanam\u201d and women should be limited to household works only.<\/li>\n
                                  6. The brutal dowry system is also discouraging some of the parents to support their daughters\u2019 education.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                    Solutions:<\/p>\n

                                      \n
                                    1. Male-dominated attitudes in the society must be changed democratically.<\/li>\n
                                    2. Female literacy rate should be increased. Governments have to take care of this.<\/li>\n
                                    3. Women should be encouraged to work outside the homes too. If women are engaged in some paid work and if they have some own earnings, their self-confidence and dignity will increase.<\/li>\n
                                    4. Parents must treat their sons and daughters equally.<\/li>\n
                                    5. They should give equal priority to their daughters\u2019 education also.<\/li>\n
                                    6. The social evils towards women such as dowry system should be abolished.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
