Have been reading some varied historical/mythological perspective on social /political issues and the more i read history the more truth reveals itself.
Future is just history repeated in a different time.
Whatever you do to change your future, it will always be defined by history.
What you do today will decide your future as today is history and hence point of reference for tommrow , the future.
With this points as reference i started with the most current topic in hearts and minds of people , the Delhi gangrape.
What it was ? a Ghastly act of Violence. A Sick mind acting with brute force. Explosion of hidden feelings, desires, passions all negative albeit. From where did this sickness, this negativity this ruthlessness came inside a human looking living being ????.
Even Animals are not that ruthless.This needs to be something else. Then the pattern started emerging. It was Delhi so it was a major case, it happens with regularity in all other parts of country. Haryana women were being raped and Taped. Orrisa was same, UP , Bihar, Punjab was no better.
Kerala , Maharashtra, Gujrat, AP. Karnantaka were little better.
Are north Indians worse than south or west indians. Why do women feel safe south of narmada ? Not absolutely but comparatively.
Then i went into history to seek answers.
Historically. Women were treated as prized assets, camouflaged as devis, lakshmis, saraswati but assets. becuase they were assets. They grew, they performed, they contributed to the constructive part of the economy, when men were mostly at war. They held on to the thread of society. Hence they were the real show runners. Men were just that , MACHO. as kings, Traders, drunkards, fighters, saints, rishis, bhramin but MACHO.
Women ran the economy but as a close second, never questioned, never ask for any thing more than a good society and good family.
But what happened in MACHO world. When ever there was war, Women were exploits of war, raped with impunity, rarely killed. carrier of new genes. sent off to different world as means of pleasure, used as commodity of trade in matrimonial alliance used as a shield to buy piece. SEX FOR PEACE. how Innovative.
But where this happened the most was North India, Now pakistan and Afganistan. For 5000 years, attacks upon attacks from Aryans, to Huns, Chengez, Alexender, Babar, NAdir Shah. Waves after waves of attack on civilization . All to create a way of life and or to sustain or grow a way of life.
Now who brings life in this world. Women of course. So exploit and explore was the mantra.
How do you think, Aryans expanded, or Alexender, or Mughals.
Hence only one section of the society was at receiving end, Women.
Because they were assets, they could be looted , transferred, multiplied bt never fought back.
20th century it changed. The assets became self aware, they started getting educated, they fought back when treated and exploited as assets. The MACHO's could not and cannot digest this as it is against 10000 years of genetic belief. So what they do, They assetify the Women. Assualt them, tie them down to khaps, fatwas, Gotras etc. Today they are exposing the double faced society like never. A country led by a lady of foreign origin, a City state led by a women CM, A neighboring state led till a few months back a woman. MACHOs respect the women is power. but want them dead today. So that they can be worshiped as deities. but not be there to rule their lives. DOUBLE FACED , ALL MACHO's
Thankfully this trend is dominant in North India, and not south India, so called ASURA country. because women were always respected there. The cultural conflict due to continuous invasion were minimum.
Even today a Punjab and UP and Bihar has largest Expat inflow due to canada and middle east fascination.

nice piece Gaurav. apart from attacks & wars, it is the women who are at the receiving ends during riots, communal or cast. woman only bear the brunt of the so called MACHO hindu, muslim or any other caste, color or creed.
ReplyDeletesecondly, south also has these things happening. recently came to my knowledge, TN has highest no. of murders for extra marital affairs and Chennai is no. 1 in divorces today. Rapes:::::::::::: not too different situation from Delhi. why its not reported is because this state is largely alienated from rest of India. women are comparatively safer here not because of culture but also because of tough law & order.
lastly, why these things are happening. if you look at pre-moghal era, there was no parda syatem in hindu society. the indian society was highly evolved in not only spiritual and economic terms but also on sexual terms. but all these have been made a taboo in modern India and hence the issue.
