“I will bathe in Ganges once my daughter gets married”. That’s
the latest ideology I came across with.
Seriously…. I mean Seriously?
Are we still in the same old world norms or do we have the developed mindsets
that we proclaim.
I mean I have no qualms or I do not say that bathing in
Ganges is bad, my only point is why it has to be followed this way. Is marrying
your daughter such a big liability or do you still believe having a boy over
girl can fetch you heaven?
C’mmon are we really living in 21st century or we
still moved ahead just for the heck of it and we are still standing at the same
place.
The cute little girl of ours who spend a lifetime of
memories in her parents’ house, is just being donated on one fine day in a ritual
named as “Kanyadaan”, stating you do not belong to here in the same manner now.
We say we have changed and we are changing. Are we not just
tied up in the social customs willingly or unwillingly?
The much prayed and sought after son may abandon you in the
Old age, though we will still not leave a speck of option to have a male child.
And then we keep on believing in the entire lifetime that he will be the one
whom we can cling to, in our old age; although he might be having the dreams of
being in another world of freedom otherwise.
