Some days back I, along
with 120 crore , Indians celebrated our country's independence day. Felt good
and free, not because I was running all around the country, but just that my tv
was speaking about independence of the nation, for 65 something years.But , as British guys said - India's real freedom was not from britishers, it was from its people. My insight is not about me, it is an insight of a common women, a jittery of women perturbed by the society, where all where all her freedom is jeopardized by the nasty elements of society.
Watching this movie-'dirty
picture' i don't know what these people were trying to tell...there's a girl
who is bold enough to do what she wants to...people will say her path was
wrong...but who are we to decide?
Can you get inside someone's head and putting yourself in there cast...decide what you would have done.?
Its not just about girls...its about each and every person...
There is one best thing about western culture, people have freedom. Even if our India is free...are we?
I don't think so...we are so tightly tied with the strings of our past...
The problem isn't that we had all these rituals in past...
But the thing is that...we people hate changes.
We are so afraid to let things change...
In our past, girls used to wear...the clothes that won't leave even a sq cm of their flesh uncovered. is that wrong? I think no...the starting of this must be due to some reason... Or i must say some LOGIC. but who remember that logic now? No one...still girls must not wear revealing clothes.
Taking this reasoning to next level-
People will say...if you wear shorts, and guys comment...mistake is yours.
May i ask why?
do i comment when some guy is wearing shorts? Okay they got attracted to opposite sex... Why not i do the same?
The reason is just one-he is a guy...
And in this male dominating society...males are Gods.
Gods...who will see each and every girl with piercing eyes...and are ready to kill anyone who did the same to the females in their family.
Gods...who will marry a girl...and will kill their child if its girl.
Why???
Why don't we let our children decide what's good for them?
Why don't we just give them a simple idea...about how the things work....and let them enjoy experimenting with their lives?
why do we have to tell them...what we want from them? Haven't we lived our lives...its their turn...why to interrupt.
Now people will say... Freedom means...children forgetting their values...leaving their family behind...
Is it really the truth?
Temme which one is better- person living away from family, visiting every weekend...sharing the ups and downs.
Secondly...people living together under one roof...not even in talking terms...
Which one will you prefer?
Freedom is never about these boundations.
