It really pisses me off big time but I have known some
female member in my extended family who shall remained unnamed, who want to
forge their identity in relation to either their spouse or father or brother. It
isn’t as if they have been devoid of opportunities in life, it is just that they
are dumb enough not to grasp it. Whose footsteps are they following? Their mother
and grandmother? At least they could be excused for being the product of their
time. But what excuse these lotus eaters have? Except that the allure of the
proud badge of domestic drudgery is too irresistible to let go? If I come
across a bit too harsh, then I can’t help it for what is not being appreciated
is that any hint of defiance and determination to break out and create your own
place under the sun is one more nail in the coffin of paternalistic and
patriarchal ethos in this country.
