We have gone past a little more than half of a tumultuous 2020. It has put power brakes on many great ventures of progression . Just as I began to see women marching shoulder to shoulder with men , they are again kind of tied to the hearth , many losing jobs etc ; not to forget the societal shackles unfortunately many women are bound by. But I am sure all will be well once again and soon.
Daughter in law is a word I quite detest. If a girl in the prime of youth is being given away in kanyadaan , to you then does she still remain an outsider all her life ?? Why is she not accepted as the daughter of the household with pride and given equal rights as a daughter ? Emancipation of women does not seem to have changed our mindset.
Modernity is not just about dressing well and having high level certificates . It also means widening our horizon, being large-hearted and in this context accepting your son’s wife as your own . This will ensure there is no place for disparity and all the vicious spaces in our heart ( dil ) is filled with compassion , happiness and joy .
Hope all of you reading this will see much sense in what I say . We need to educate a girl only if we want to give her the freedom to fly !!
So my dear saree Sakhis , don’t simply bring a D - I - L but if you do so, make her your ‘ DIL ‘. !!! 💕
Wearing a three shaded hand woven Kanjivaram in gold , mustard , green the day I brought my ‘DIL’ home !
