Default Re: A Bold Lakshmi Again! But How Many Of You Can Accept Her?

oh god really i was almost thinking what is this women doing how can she accept and my heart was racing while i was reading each word..i am glad to see that not only she stood for herself but also for her sister...that way she saved 2 lives being spoiled by the same family....the worst part is instead of seeing the frustration in his wife...the husband still married another girl....(how come he can do such a thing after spending 2 yrs of his life with his so called wife...at one point of the story I thought the husband is also a nice person as he was asking or telling his wife atleast as to what is the problem there...but anyways..looks like he is more bothered about his own image rather than the promise he made to his wife while getting married to her....

Am sure everyone would accept this bold Lakshmi

Thanks, Saahithya. You are right, Lakshmi is really bold and has saved two lives. In those days it was almost an unwritten custom that when a woman does not have any child, her husband married her sister. They did not even care to think that the fault might be with the man.
thanks for the fb, Saahithya. And welcome to this wonderful site.
love,

Hari Om!

Dear Sridhar,
We will never say no to Lakshmi and how to say it to your Lakshmi. For me, she resembles Dhariye Lakshmi. Her action is admirable and she point out a very good view. Just think what happens if all the wives started to blame the husband for not getting a child and remarry? It is very disgrace that not only those days but till now women will be first to blamed when a couple is not blessed with a child. Why people didn’t understand that it doesn’t means the fault must be on the women sight. And I also don’t understand another thing. Why it is always a mother in law will provoke the problem for her daughter in law? She is also a woman, isn’t she? It is really true the Tamil sayings.. “Oru pennuku innoru pennthaen Edhiri”. If the answer is yes, then what about, “oru pennodhe manasu innoru pennukuthaen puriyum”? Is it the first saying is specifically for MIL meanwhile the second is specified for Mother of a girl?

I adore the way you bring out the story together with a good deliberation sridhar.

Regards,
Vashini.

Dear Vashini,
I created Ashtalakshmis in IL just to show the different dimensions of a woman. Not that all Lakshmis are good. Some are bad.But not in any way worse than their male counterparts.
I have been bogged down by the male chauvinism of blaming the woman if there is no child. Worse still, a woman is blamed if she begets a female child. Sex is determined by the residuary chromosome coming from the man. The child will be boy if it's X and girl if it's Y. But people blame the lady.
thanks for the nice words, Vashini.
Now please don't oppose to my using the word thanks here. I can't write a response to fb without that word.
love,
sridhar

Dear varalotti..

The moment i read this post i felt i am proud to be a woman....i just imagined myself in lakshmi's place and was on cloud9 when she spoke that dialogue...its 100% justice..when their family members could not bear to just hear her words how could those crooks imagine to do this to their daughter-in-law...would they do the same thing if lakshmi was their daughter???

good day...pooja

Dear pooja,
As a society, as a species, we have degraded our women. We have insulted them, harmed them and suppressed them. A poor accountant and a part-time writer like me could do only this much. When I see that even this post brings happiness and pride in women, I am really happy.
The year was 2005. IL membership was in hundreds. At that time I wrote these Ashtalakshmis - 8 different avatars of Lakshmis - all bold, some errant but all of them typifying the women in our society.
thanks for the words, Pooja.
love,
sridhar
