Capturing territories through
power we all have studied, learnt and witnessed in history; kings used to
conquer and with that was their power portrayal. This conquest wasn’t just
meant for land and kingdom but along with victory, women too were the soft
target; unspoken about...
The Patriarchal
societies thus took over constantly and women because of their higher EQ
succumbed to the patriarchy, giving up on their own existence, rights and
forgetting own worth... Centuries passed by; the Shakti forgot her own power,
her WILL POWER!!
All of a sudden with education
there came in a wave, a sea change, the 21st century mantra!!! WOMEN
EMPOWERMENT!! Ahhh, to me very frankly this is a new marketing gimmick and
sounds like a joke.
The fact is.. they
have more power than men, that’s why she is addressed as “Shakti”.
She is an embodiment of Love, she has the power to bear pains, to give selfless
love and it’s because of that quality of selfless love she gives up on her
name, her dressing / attire, her likes, dislikes, her friends and family, after
the process of marriage. Thus, as a duty she is bound to accept all the changes
and meet up with expectations.
Women are already empowered..
by stating that this marketing or a social drive sounds like a joke. Let’s
speak it the other way round... I wish to put it across as GENDER
SENSITIZATON.. let’s respect both genders and understand their needs and
inclination as per their chromosomal placement, DNA, upbringing, the kind of
environment they have been exposed to.. A better way to address and narrow down
the wide gap.
Coming back to Hunger,
with more money comes more power, purchasing power and the chain reaction of
which is desire for more women.. Men at power positions think they can purchase
women. If at some point they are unable to, then defeat is something cannot be
digested; with their inability of manipulative techniques comes the word ‘Status’..
‘Background’ and typically addressed as “aukat”;
played in a very subtle way!!!
Apart from the very
convenient word ‘background’ or aukat for
that matter... women have also been left astray as men with more purchasing
power shed off their extra bit of feathers on mistresses. At times there are
also cases that they have completely left their wives and children, going
behind a mistress or a slut in search of more physical pleasure, giving up on
their responsibility and duty as a husband. That’s why in new era, with
education and evolution ‘Triple Talaq’ a
typical patriarchal way of escapism has come under scrutiny.
Women in Bollywood
also have been targeted. Praveen Babi, a very talented, bright and versatile
actress, when tried to open her mouth was labelled as a schizophrenic. The highly
placed and most educated ones also make their daughter a scapegoat. Sheena and
Arushi are such classic examples of power targets. Nirbhaya could get justice because
the opposite male did not have purchasing power!! Quite simple math!!!
But the bottom line
is, they are still empty .. seeking satiation in their own empty soul, left furthermore
hollow after all those fights and conquests of non commitment, neither to a
person nor self.
Neelima Dalmia
recently spoke quite openly about her father’s failed marriages and
relationship history. Mahesh Bhatt has confessed about it and there are many
stories that can be correlated with... Ashoka, probably was at a higher level
of understanding that realisation of empty conquests came to him.
Finally, what we seek
is understanding, space to BE.. which itself is Love. Humans are emotional
beings. We are produced out of love, acceptance is what we need, acceptance to
allow energy to flow and grow.. let’s make a makeshift in our systems and
thought process.
........to be contd.
