Long queue of unmarried ,single women in front of
Lord Shiva’s temple in the auspicious saawan
month(as Hindus say).In North India especially in small towns, villages, b-grade
metros it is a conviction that if you impress lord Shiva this season ,you will
get the perfect partner(conviction so malign).
Hindi TV news channels that otherwise just exist to
give cheap entertainment, come to newer low in this season. Special astrology
shows are manufactured to tell the ways how to impress lord Shiva. The so
called gyan gurus create fear that if a woman remains unmarried what terrible situation
it may create for her, family and society. They tell them to keep 16 Monday fast
solah somwar and offer Shiva with
milk, yoghurt, honey, bel patra etc.
etc.
I feel in order to get the partner for life all one
needs is consent of two individuals who are ready to share roof, bodies, love
and life. But welcome to the great nation ,here first you need to impress lord Shiva
with so much endurance, then too you have to marry a man selected by string of
relatives and match makers. They openly search for a guy with whom their daughter
can have legal sex with.(because pre marital sex with consent is even sin, and
post marriage ,even marital rape is right ).even so much money is wasted to
impress Shiva one still has to bribe in laws in name of shit called dowry.
In a country where millions of girls die in foetus, those
who survive this blunt fail even to get their basic right of education,
sanitation and nutrition, how far is fasting to get perfect husband is
justified? Instead if God exist, why lord Shiva is not impressed to get superb career
and dignified life?
In this country whenever it comes to worshiping, I have
noticed female is worshipped in idols whereas man is worshiped in real blood
and flesh. For instance durga, kali, Sita they all are symbols, on contrary
male figure is worshipped as husband, son, father and brother.
All the fast and pujas
are performed by women for men. From karva chauth to chatt to sakat. Mothers
do it for sons, sisters do it for brothers, and wives do it for husbands.
Woman despite pleasing men in various forms and stages, in her life she lives in the state of depravity, depression, and despair.
She doesn’t have existence beyond her stereotypes .she
is never free. Throughout her life she has to be daughter, sister, wife/girlfriend
or mother of someone. That’s why she never achieves anything beyond care and
household chores.
Blame it on our conditioning, that says woman has to
be lead and protected by men throughout her life.
In super hit comedy show –comedy nights with kapil
this conditioning finds root. Show laughs and ridicules the unmarried, single bua. Show’s script is so regressive –it portrays
single, unmarried woman as desperate woman who craves for men. As if until woman’s
body is not touched or caressed by man, she won’t get nirvana. Why nobody
laughs at mama ,chacha in the family
who remain unmarried? Why nobody asks kuch
kami hai kya to unmarried men? Why marriage is mandatory for woman only?
Marriage can happen ,even when you don’t impress
lord shiva.If after impressing Shiva with so much toil ,you have to marry man
chosen by parents and family, then better let them alone toil.
Grow up .it’s
time to boycott love arranged by lord Shiva.
