WOMANIYA!! - Then and now.!

…I will tell you that I consider Mahabharat and Ramayan utter bullshit. As far I might consider it could have been some geniuses mind at work in creating something so fictitious and so disturbing as a tale of Mahabharat or Ramayana. I might have angered many god loving or god fearing people out there but then when have I ever cared for a peoples opinion when they put their faith on Imaginary beings, who instead of offering food to the poor people waste it on some stone idol. I did rather you judge me not! 

As a ardent feminist I will take the whole case of Draupadi and her tryst to cut it as a wife of five who don’t mind watching her getting raped by our dear Mr. Duryodhan who seems to be sexually charged at the idea of Voyeurism.  What a bunch of turds! Just because you can shoot accurately without missing out even once doesn’t make you entitled for the ad of VIP macro man. Just because your busy and impatient mom tells you to share whatever you have brought home with your brothers when they brought in Draupadi doesn’t mean you treat her like a toy train and setting dates and appointments on who can play with her and when. And to see kids these days wont even share a bar of chocolate with the neighbours kid.  Sad old Draupadi in a fix!  

 Now…Drifting over to Sita “Maate”, well I am sure she cursed herself for even marrying Ram. I mean, you get married and instead of enjoying all the worldly pleasures Ayodhya can offer you, she, her husband  are ordered to undergo an exile by some bitch who wasn’t even their biological mother. And Ram being his self righteous thee, heeds and bids good bye to the entire Ayodhya and walks away leaving his throne. Also his little brother Lakshman tags along in the idea of leaving a boring life behind in the conquest for adventure and travel. So they travel all the way down south and meet loads of Monkeys who seem to love them because they can see “Mukh mein tej” and take them in their embracing arms and go “Aa aa Coo coo”. I am sure Ram and his wife Sita had gone cuckoo bananas to find talking monkeys or had eaten a strange plant along the way which made them hallucinate. He did say, “Oye Sita! Aaj bhey i hash ke Paranthe bana de!”. Also One special monkey called Hanuman claimed to have in his heart “Ram and Sita” instead of ventricles. He could have been a medical breakthrough! And then comes the abduction of Sita by Raavan who promises to treat her like a queen.Poor Sita is scared out of her wits because of those freakishly ten heads he seemed to sport and refuses and wants her dear Ram to come and find her and rescue her from the exotic Sri lanka. So she throws her bits and pieces of her jewellery all through the journey making a trail. The Valiant Ram and with his bunch of talking Monkeys meander through the forest to rescue Sita by making his way “Saat Samundar paar” just so that he could taste those yummy "Hash de Paranthes"  by Sita again. And just for fun, he orders to burn down Lanka with little regard for woman and children of that country and finally uses his special god send arrow to slit Raavans throat and shockingly many people claimed they saw it flying in the air like an aeroplane with the back ground colour of the sky changing to red - blue- yellow - green and red again for five whole minutes! And what was more disturbing was all through that flight, his head kept laughing that raucous laughter Raavan seems so famous for. After that the gods in the heaven shower flowers over the Valiant Ram for destroying the livelihood of thousands of innocent lives. 

 And then they thank the talking monkeys and after a good meal of “hash ke Paranthes” they set off towards Ayodhya to tell this awesome adventure they just had to the whole Ayodhya and have an awesome festival called Diwali marking their welcome. The bitch who sent them away is all weepy and all is well in the kingdom. 

And Hail! One fine day, Sita is pregnant!  To her utter annoyance Ram doesn’t believe her and asks her to take the “Agni Pariksha”. I am assuming that they had the knowledge of DNA and genes back then or else just stepping into a fire to prove your faithfulness could get Charles Darwin to die out of laughter. Anyways, just  when Sita was enjoying all the luxury her kingdom had to offer she is thrown out by the egocentric, distrusting and son of a bitch of a  husband for treachery.

 I can go on with the story of her giving birth to twins Luva and Kusha ..but I am sure this whole story  already could have sounded ridiculous in your mind. I cant believe I wasted my precious Sundays on this load of crap when they were enacted on TV back in the days.

So much for logical Ramayana I composed, it could have got you convinced on how woman get treated in this country.  Indian Society as a whole is a very confusing system. The same place where the god loving people respect and worship female goddesses, treat their daughters or wives like garbage bags.. The very word ‘Pati’ and ‘Patni’ brings out the deep rooted patriarchy system we seem to be so proud of. 

                         ".....Saha Dharma Chaarini means a wife who participates equally in dharma ritulals of husband.There are many Hindu rituals which can not be performed, as per the ancient Upanishad principles, by a man if his wife does not or unwilling to participate in them. She who co-operates with her husband in all those rituals with body, mind and soul is called Dhrama Patni. In Puranas, the wives Rishis were normally known as Dhrama Patnis. "

Google defines a good and lawfully wedded wife in Hindi as “Dharam Patni” and a husband a “Pati- Parameshwar”. Who ever coined that line “Patni ki jagah apne pati ke charano mein hota hain”, had probably been misinterpreted. He was looking down for sure, but he didn’t mean his feet. I mean for a lot of men, I am guessing, feet isn’t even an erogenous zone. You know what I am talking about!

But personally, I would never ever respect a man who lets his wife touch his feet and take aashirwad. Even if it involved some custom or a tradition or a ritual. She is the one who takes care of you, cooks you your food, washs your cloths, takes care of your off springs, prays for your success and well being and you still want her to touch your feet and down her by branding her as the woman, a weaker sex. I think it’s the men who need to touch a woman’s feet. Again said, Indian customs are confusing. Its okay for men to go to temples and fall down at the feet of idols of Parvati and Lakshmi but refuse to even treat their wives humanely. Something, somewhere went wrong, don’t you think?  We teach our men to embrace their carnal instincts but suppress a woman's desires to an extent where she has to give up her desires to satiate your needs.  We molest, rape, harass our own women behind doors and attend Lakshmi Puja in your colony.  Worst part is yet to come when these woman are killed because they were the victim of innocent love. Its disgusting really. 

What men need to realize is woman aren’t your puppets. They have the power to either make you or break you. Literally.
