MARRIAGE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Inter-Religious Marriages:
An
inter-faith couple typically follows a pair of religions that teach very
different beliefs and practices about deity, humanity and the rest of the
universe. Conflicts are not easily resolved. Many people believe that their
religious beliefs were revealed by one or more Gods and/or Goddesses, and are
thus absolutely true. Further, they believe that other religions were invented
by humans and are thus lacking in validity. There is often no room to
compromise without one spouse giving up some of their belief.
The new generation of people do not realize the problems associated with
inter-religious marriage. Love marriages without social or family support either
do not last long or the girl suffers in silence. When a girl or a boy marries
from another religion, thinks only of his relationship with the girl he loves,
he goes blind and selfish. The couple never realize the problems their parents
and their siblings are going to face from the society and relatives, because of
their inter religious marrage.There are instances where the sisters or brother
remained unmarried or were forced to marry to a less deserving partner, it’s
like a mixed breed dog which has a less market value.
Imagine a Hindu girl who has been brought up with vegetarian diet and
worshipping of Hindu Gods and Goddesses from childhood, marries a Muslim or Christian
boy? Their culture and her culture will be totally different. She has to adjust
and start eating beef or other forbidden foods which she had never taken in her
life. Soon she will realize her mistake but by that time she has become a
second hand car. The dreams would soon vanish. First she has to be converted to
a Muslim then marry. In India certain Hindu male celebrities take advantage of
Muslim law and get converted to Muslim and marry another actress or model.
The parents
are totally responsible for the rise in inter-caste and inter religious marriages.
One should remember that for thousands of years certain set of rules and
guidelines have been followed by our ancestors. There must be some logic behind
it; we just can’t say its bull sit? Human beings are basically opportunistic,
they do what suits them most or in other words where money is there is love and
everything. In most cases of inter religious marriages are due to money or
celebrity factors. If any day we would read the news that Ex-president’s
daughter married an American white, then we can comment that yes ‘Americans are
really very broad minded’. Present generation of parents think their child is
still a baby, even though he or she has crossed 30 years. Unfortunately our
next generation follow the western culture as ultimate and forget own parents
and religion. Because the most of the girls have started earning they have developed a dam
care attitude towards their parents and society and have multiple boyfriends or
sex partners and get ditched.
I just
wanted to express my view on these ‘dream world’ marriages. At present the
human, character, social, cultural and moral values are in cross roads. Best is
leave the children to their own destiny to suffer or get divorced or commit
suicide or remain unmarried throughout life, choice is theirs.

DEMONETIZATION
Face Book Debates:
There are interesting debate going on in media as well as amongst face
book friends on demonetization.When the debate becomes personal ego centric or
like an opposition political party member, things turn ugly, becomes bad. There
are hundreds of docile face book members, who watch from the fence or through a
window, they remain goody goody because they think themselves to be intellectual,
know all type. They do not participate or comment. Others are least concerned
as if they are toddlers, from another planet, they only project themselves
through selfie.We excuse those who are physically handicapped or too busy for
these useless participation. Criticism will always be there in LBW decisions,
not on bowled. Recently a decision on fraud ‘freedom fighter’ card got a nod
from SC as valid, no one criticized it. If Modijee would have said that from
midnight all the notes in circulation-original or counterfeit ones are valid.”
That would have been a ‘master stroke’ decision for many! Similarly criticisms
are bound to come on any topic from a marriage invitation card to the items
served at the reception party. Just ask Hindi film lovers for comments on a
recently released hyped Hindi film. About 20% people will boldly say that the
film was ‘faltu’, others will agree with their wife or girl friends if they say
they liked it. Those in job will agree with their boss. Few others will say it’s
a new type of film because their favorite hero or heroine was the main character.
It’s not a question of BJP or Congress or SP or BJD supporter its question
about black money. People who started asking the PM—“where is your election
promise?”When he starts taking decisions then people compare it with emergency
of Indira Gandhi. That decision was to neutralize the High court decision on
her election. “Because the court unseated her on comparatively frivolous
charges, while she was acquitted on more serious charges, The Times
described it as "firing the Prime Minister for a traffic ticket".
However, strikes in trade, student and government unions swept across the
country. Led by JP, Narain, Satyendra Narayan Sinha and Morarji Desai,
protestors flooded the streets of Delhi close to the Parliament building and
the Prime Minister's residence. The persistent efforts of Narain were praised
worldwide as it took over four years for Justice Sinha to pass judgement
against the prime minister”.
Demonetization is bad for the people who used to live on
black money. They cite the example of common man. Are they common man or smugglers?
Majority of us think about self not for the society and country. It’s like a
girl who only thinks of herself while choosing a boy from other caste or
religion? What would happen to her
younger sister’s marriage? Who will marry her?
Most of the critics are two headed snakes. If it was bad how
91% of people across the country said it was a good decision. Let’s stop
fighting amongst us on this demonetization topic and move on with time. “Most
of us are not able to govern our family properly, what to speak of the country.”
Other countries are utilizing our experts at a less cost and selling their
products to India at a huge profit. Parents are crying, for their children
because they are worried who will give “mukhagni”? Are these decisions by our
children to migrate to other country—good or very good?
