MOUNAM

"You say it best when you say nothing at all."

These are the lines from one of Ronan Keating's famous album. Probably he means to say something else when he sings this, but it suits the mind set of common Indian (middle aged) men. They like it when the women of their house holds keep their mouths shut.
We in India might boast of women like Pratibha patil, Sonia Gandhi, Kiran bedi, Indra nooyi….. but still in Punjab, female: male ratio is 850 : 1000.What a nation we are!!!!
Domestic violence is one of the serious forms of oppression against women. This is not given much importance as much as female infanticide, rape & murder. May be people think it's not a big thing for a woman to be beaten up by her father, brother, husband or son.

The first law maker of india, MANU describes in Manu Smriti how well a Woman should be treated by the men around her.
It's an irony that men who worship woman in the form of "Goddess Durga", don't hesitate to beat or abuse their wives once they go home. I don't say that all men are like this. If Indians can become so civilized to eradicate untouchability, then why not Domestic violence?
Women's problems, their tears are not given proper attention. The most pathetic thing about this situation is no body likes to give voice to this.

As I read some where,
Enno deshalu, endaro mahilalu,
Andari basha okkate,
MOUNAM.

This aggravates the feeling that getting a good husband is sheer luck. When I wrote a blog on FEMINISM, some one wrote a comment that I don't understand feminism. Does he understand what it is? He might say that feminism originated in USA, a foreign country and it came to India, just like English, Jeans, MNC's & Coke.
But, where did this concept of treating women as inferior creatures araise? Not in India. That was also imported in the same way from other countries.
Like the most famous religions of the world, Hinduism doesn't talk about man as the supreme creature. It says that woman is the abodement of power (Adi Shakthi).

The wife of a drunkard and mother of two wants to commit suicide because of domestic violence. But, she doesn't have the courage to do it, when she sees her children. She silently sheds tears and the dark night devours them calmly. Who is answerable to all those countless tears?
As sri sri says,
Rooraktha pravaha siktham, pishacha gana samanakaram...
Narajati charitra samastham parapeedana parayanathvam...
