Manglore Incident-My Analysis

The recent case of molestation of women in Manglore, no doubt, is heinous crime, but if we look at it in an introspective manner, we’ll find some support for Ram Sena’s agenda for household status of women in our thinking. This support may be a mute one, but it is there.
It will be clear by a single question- how many boys of my age, 20 yrs, know cooking. Hardly anybody. Even I don’t know cooking. The reason is that we always have a lady cooking food for us, in the form of mother, sister or relative. If not, then there is a servant.
Even the future seems to be safe. We are assured to have a wife to do it for us. We are not ready to think that they might not. It is nightmarish for us to imagine ourselves doing the household stuff.

This analysis raises one question –“Are we ready for consequences of the education we are getting?”

I believe we are not. Imagine a situation where a young girl gets into an IIT, then into an IIM after years of hard work. Will she have enough time to complete the household responsibilities imposed on her, when in conjugal relationship, without any help from her partner. After achieving academic record that high she can’t be expected to sit at home. Even her job would be a very demanding one.

Such a woman is exactly opposite to the common perception of a wife- sweet and homely.
This phenomenon, if widespread, may precipitate into a social crisis.

If we want to have good education and live in good economy, we first need to be spiritually mature.
We will have to throw this orthodox and close minded part of the body out.
