WOMEN AND RAMAYANA-MAHABHARTA
IN RELIGIOUS BOOKS SOME STRANGE THINGS ARE WRITTEN AND SHOWS THAT WOMEN HAS ALWAYS BEEN VICTIM OF VIOLENCE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AS SITA HAD TO PROVE HER LOYALTY THREE TIMES,FIRST WHEN RAVANA HAD ABDUCTED HER AND SHE HAD PROVEN HER LOYALTY BY THE WAY OF WALKING ON FIRE BAREFOOTED, SECOND TIME SHE WAS FORCED TO LEAVE PALACE WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT AND THIRDLY WHEN SHE HAD TO PROVE HER AGAIN IN FRONT OF WHOLE PUBLIC ,SHE HAS RAISED HER CHILDREN ALONE IN VALMIKI'S ASHRAM-SHE COMMITS SUICIDE RATHER THAN ANSWERING HER HUSBAND QUESTIONS.
WHILE IN MAHABHARATA DURYODHANA HAD DONE WHAT WAS EXPECTED OF HIM BUT WHAT ABOUT ARJUNA WHO HAD SHARED HIS WIFE WITH HIS BROTHERS, ISN'T A TORTURE FOR DRAUPADI TO BE WITH MEN.
WOMEN'S DIGNITY IS COMPROMISED AT ALL TIMES AND SHE IS NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE HER DECISIONS,THESE ARE NOT MY OWN VIEW -THIS IS WRITTEN IN HOLY BOOKS LIKE RAMAYANA AND MAHABHARATA. WHAT TO TELL ABOUT ORDINARY WOMEN WHEN PRINCESS HAD TO SUFFER LIKE THIS. SITA WAS VICTIM OF HER CIRCUMSTANCES AND SITUATIONS,HER ABANDONMENT WAS A PRICKLY SUBJECT AND ONE THAT MANY INDIAN WOMEN ARE STILL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH UNUTTERED STRENGTH OF A WOMEN-SELF EXPLORATION.
WHAT TO TELL NOW,THESE WERE FEW INCIDENTS OF THAT TIME,NOW NOTHING IS DIFFERENT. CONDITIONS OF WOMEN IS SAME NEVER IMPROVED,SHE HAS TO FACE ALL WILLINGLY FOR ONE REASON OR THE OTHER BUT WHY?
RAPE IS THE ULTIMATE EXPRESSION OF BRUTE MAJORITARIANISM WHICH SEEK TO IMPOSE ITS POWER ON THOSE WHOM IT DEEMS CHILDREN OF LESSER GOD BY VIRTUE OF GENDER,SOCIAL STATUS OR COMMUNITY. IT IS UGLIEST DEED,WHICH RUINS THE SELF CONFIDENCE AND DREAMS OF THE VICTIM.SCARS OF RAPE IS KNOWN TO THE PERSON WHO HERSELF HAD BEEN IN THE SAME BOAT,OTHERS CAN GUESS ONLY. TRAUMA IS GREAT AND UNBEARABLE THAT IS WHY SOMETIME VICTIM COMMITS SUICIDE.
