Dear Renu,Dear RR ji,
Have you realized a trend in this story?
Ok here goes..she has "broken" all forms of conservatism here:
1)Firstly she married a person from a different caste.
2)She did the final rites for her father.
3)She works in a crematorium which is a taboo for a female and that too a Brahmin.
I have a feeling that she wants to prove a point here that nothing should restrict a woman in any way...that is a woman is free to marry the person she loves even if he is not her caste..a woman is free to preform final rites for her parents and also work in a job that is considered a taboo for females.
So may be she wants to just be totally free.
So should her courage be admired?
Yes! I understand that she is a brave person and wants to live a life which is different from the normal women. If she was not a master's
degree holder, I would NOT have pitied her plight. Cleaning the premises of a crematorium is not a job to be done by this lady but she
wants to break all the rules. But still, the guy to whom she got married should have found a more dignified job for her since 'vettiyAn'
job has its own taboo. Who knows! Now that she has set a new trend and appeared in the NEWS, more women might follow her! :flock:
P.S: I am not against those who are NOT brahmins but against this guy who allowed his wife to do this job, to earn for the family! opcorn:
