This post may seem gender biased... but for me I wanted to express my self on this issue... and what else a better place than this.... though lil late... still this was on my mind for quite a few days.... so here goes my new post...
Everyone must be aware of the much hyped marriage of Priyanka and Umar.... no no... i dont want to write about them ... plz...they are two grown up individual... matured enough to take their own decision... let them... i want to write about those leaders of our society who think they can decide good and bad about the society...
First of all whats the definition of GOOD or in that case BAD? Do we have one? who has the power to define it? how can we judge? is it not only a perception of what we think?
After priyanka and umar's case... the so called 'netas' of the sindhi community issued a 'farmaan' that girls cant wear duppatta to cover their face when they are out on the road, they cant drive and they cant keep a mobile phone. These things are BAD for them. Ok, if that is the truth then i have something more to tell...
First instance...i m staying in Bhopal and do carry a mobile phone with me, whenever i m walking down the streets for some or the other work i carry the mobile in my hand. Do you know why so??? Whenever a person sees the mobile in my hand they hardly try to do any kind of 'badtamizi' with me, they know that though alone, i m just a phone call away from people. So is keeping a mobile a BAD thing???
Secondly... recently i was in Indore. I was out in the burning sun, moving from market to market for work on bike. Due to this i had a heat stroke. My mother said if i would have covered my face and head with cloth then it would not have happened. If covering the face and head would have been bad, would my mother have suggested that?? and if at all it is BAD in a sense that you are trying to hide your identity... then why leaders from the Muslim community propagates to do so?
Thirdly... If girls dont have a bike they will always have to depend on some or the other person if the public transport is not good as in the case of "bhopal". in present days when girls and females are going for further studies and jobs can they always depend on their families for traveling? Those of you guys, who have their own vehicle can you imagine you life from tomorrow when you are not having your vehicle? So, why keeping a vehicle can be considered as BAD?
Can some one or some people decide what is good or bad for the whole society? Dont individuals have right to decide and define Good and Bad for themselves? Were is individualism? does it exists?

All points well taken, I couldn't find any 'gender biasness' in the posts, why did u wrote that to start the post?
just because it was written by a female... and about individualism in particular about females... so ppl will link
hmm.. well aparupa.. this is the irony of the society that few people claim to be the wholesole caretakers of the larger masses..their ethics and moralty. Unfortunately these people do succeed in twisting the arms also because of muscle power, courtsey large sections of youth who find this as a short cut route to the power and glam so well highlighted by all sorts of media.
Today's society may get classified as educated and rational by the disguise which we put on in terms of education, clothing, quasi mannerism etc. But the core of all this u will find the filth which is rotting the society. The midset is still slave to the primal instinct of dominating and conquering. Leave the small section of people who actually imbibe the meaning of coexistance and u will have the whole population of globe wanting to push their agenda, tryign hard to reognise their authority, even when they may be a miniscule amoeba in terms of intellectual grooming required for giving direction to the thoughts and thinking. It is unfortunate and ironic but true... may be i would like to say much more but..anyways...
well..thanx for ur comments on my blog...
coming to urs...yes even i do feel that these farmaans should be issued with utmost attention..and moreover..marriage is individual's choice..how can one judge a person's life and give conclusion? it is not the year that keep changing..but it has to tbe the mentality that has to change
