Almost 22 years ago I was a student at the Sir J. J. School of Applied Art. I was learning BFA Applied Art (Advertising & Marketing)

On the same campus, there was the Sir J. J. School of Art & Sir J. J. School of Architecture.

One story that I experienced and was inspired by was about one Sir J. J. School of Art final-year graduate student who got hired by Disney Animation Studios in America. We all Applied Art students went to meet him shake his hand and saw his sketchbook. We were amazed by his achievements as Disney just doesn’t take Indian Art Students out of graduation as their employment standards and quality of work that they require are high. Disney normally takes Animator with 20 Years of hardcore Animation Industry Experience. But one day out of the blue same J. J. student returned from America after 6 Months as he was depressed saying no Disney Studio colleague said hi to him or waved in gesture in recognition of his existence in the company. It was the year 2001 at that time there was no iPhone, WhatsApp, Messenger, or Instagram to talk with his parents and siblings. So he was lonely at the tender age of 22 years. This is the psyche of a young man who went to America for a better quality of life than to be in India forever.

It was the year 2012 when discussions about my marriage started happening in my home. Proposals of engagement between me and the prospective bride use to arrive every month or in other’s marriage ceremonies. So I started thinking and planning about it.

My society, school or college friends were getting married at that time. But something strange things were happening in their married lives. My 7 friends including girls and boys were having a divorce for strange reasons.

  1. One girl was got proposed to on Facebook she accepted it when they had their real-life engagement ceremony her groom’s previous girlfriend showed up to stop that engagement as the groom was having affair with her for the last three-four years, So my friend felt heartbroken, and betrayed and cheated.
  2. One of my male friends was married to a girl who never cook or do home-related tasks or never showed the night at home after time out. Then when my friend encounters her for asking about divorce and breaking the marriage she says to him she will launch law suite and a police case for defamation, sexual harassment and abuse. She wanted marriage alimony of 50 lakhs.
  3. One of my friend’s husband was not doing any job and he was physically assaulting her with physical abuse as she was earning a thousand times more than him.
  4. One of my friend’s husbands was unfaithful and had multiple extramarital affairs.
  5. One of my male friends has multiple sexual encounters with his female friends before marriage so he wanted a bride that accepts that allows them to have sexual encounters outside of marriage after marriage.
  6. One of my friends lost his job because of the financial crisis or recession in the year 2008. Then somehow his engagement got broken as the bride stopped talking with him and even her parents. But after two or three months, he got a job in a better company with a greater salary. So if the bride was understanding the situation of lost job then disengagement of marriage would not have happened.
  7. One of my friend’s brides was suspicious and was doubtful of having affairs in office. So she broke the engagement and he was heartbroken as there was no clear communication between the bride and her family. Then he got married after one year to a different and more perfect girl.

Christianity or Muslims don’t have goddesses. God Mohammed had multiple wives even from teenagers. Jesus Christ was crucified and then declared god after that torture. After Christ’s death, his daughter supposes to be a priest but then leaders don’t allow that.

But in Hindu Culture we have Goddess Sita, Parwati, Laxmi, Sarvasti and more who are worshipped for their diety and deeds.

So in India, we are already worshipping and celebrating women’s lives for more than millions of years.

But in today’s world women are made to believe they are victims of Male Dominance or Patriarchy or Brahmin Patriarchy in society. New digital media make women believe in playing victim cards.
