Reading 2
books by khaledi hoessini and watching
few documentaries in recent past I have only come
closed to this unique country and few others quite similar in one particular respect. The thing
which most intrigues me is the situation of women here. Concealing her face all life under a veil , dumb to every male unless married ,
life confined for only two activities mating
and cooking and being ignorant from the millions other things which she
could do. This I can say with even more gravity after my gaining some experience in womenology.
Doesn’t matter where are they from they all
dream , want to smile , dance in rains ,
learn , compete head to head with boys
,have liberty , fall in love , kiss , hug, travel , talk , shy , and list goes endless. And when u know there is a corner in this world where girls don’t even
know to dream. And if they do their
faces are burnt with acids , beaten on the road ,sexually harassed in midst the
crowded street , shot headfront , forced to become whore and the list goes on.
I would think India
has only got the women in critical stage
but the reality is thousand times
severe , critical in Afghanistan , Pakistan , Iran and few others. Yes since the Taliban left Afghanistan
situations are being healed though at ant's pace . But it all looks swinging like
pendulum. For serious issues such as
these it should become an international affair. Countries which claim
themselves to be the most powerful , United Nations shall make a separate
department for handling these issues. And then it’s a matter of time they continuing
this noble work.
Else just like
tigers being extinct from earth we may lose a large portion of women( I mean
the feminineness , emotions , dream of a feminine, of course physically still perfect for animal humans)
in near future.
Ultimately all comes to awareness , what influences us what we want to influence , our range of greed , being self-obsessed , ignorance , courage of an individual . Because neither India nor us , Germany or Japan were at peace from the beginning . Someone struggled , leaded , had courage to do 1st .

Like they said it was all
the matter of choice and its still now and will remain a matter of choice.
It's really heartwarming to see sensitivity like seen in this post. Please keep sharing your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteKhaled Hosseini is an amazing writer!! I loved both his books too. May I recommend two movies by another man, the director of 'Khuda le liye' and 'Bol'. Both Pakistani movies, but Indians can relate to both. If you manage to watch these two movies, do share your thoughts on them both.
....best...really empathetic...!!!
ReplyDeleteit's really heart-touching...give more thoughts on this.
ReplyDeleteand it's very happy to see that boys are getting aware of these things...keep on writing...!!!!!
