People are getting quite
patronizing these days trying to protect the ‘young girl’ from snooping. They
are understandably agitated about bharath
ki beti being snooped. It is a common
knowledge that girl becomes woman after marriage. So till then patriarchal
media has every right to patronize and be protective. Mr. Tendulkar has so graciously dedicated his
Ratna to all mothers, which technically means one step ahead of being a woman.
This is the most elevated position that an Indian woman can achieve that surely
deserves a Bharat Ratna or atleast a dedication. It has terrific emotional
returns. He surely is playing to the script. I am afraid too much on the script
that he is becoming a mythical hero like zombie. Spreading happiness
incidentally is also the mission of Coca cola. Touché.
Meanwhile what about the rights
of pot bellied hairy middle aged balding short darkish man at the bottom of the social pyramid?
Doesn’t he have the right for privacy? Or is he a fair game for powerful
people? Is snooping only concerns nubile damsels? Surely he is not a voyeuristic
delight, one may faint (I don’t take responsibility of that!!), but he has his
rights. Does anyone care? Here I am doing sheersaasn
and trying to see whether the world is really upside down or am I imagining
things. Maybe I should morph into damsel
in distress to arouse the patriarchal erotic urges of bharthiya sanskriti safeguarders. I am trying, to begin with
pushing some fat into mammary gland region ...it’s working!! One of
these days I will be perfectly be suited to fight for.
Equity is not matter of perception.
