Saun, Chura and freedom!

The bangles I wear are not bound, there is a sense of freedom. The bracelet I wear is not under anyone's pressure, nor is it under any tradition

In the month of July, many social and ideological sentiments are reflected in the sound of the green bangle on the woman's wrist. In the month of August, bangles on the hands and mehndi on the palms are seen to reveal women's audhi. Today, I feel like my hands are cute. He wants to kiss his own wrist. I wanted to share this happiness with everyone, why should I keep it to myself?

I gave a dozen green bangles as a gift to my female friends in the office where I work. We all exchanged festivity with each other. Meanwhile, an old school friend of mine made a video call describing the issue of bangles and showing the green bangles she wore all over her hand, she said, 'In whose name did you wear bangles and henna?' I blurted out, 'In the name of freedom...' 

Bangles and freedom? This terminology can be confusing to those who speak of the feminist movement. With the development of human society, men are said to have worn heavy jewelry to control women. However, I am a modern woman. Who speaks of salvation. The bangles I wear are not bound, there is a sense of freedom. The bracelet I wear is not under anyone's pressure, nor is it under any tradition. Not under anyone's direction. I wear it if I like it, if I don't like it, I throw it away, 'That's it!' I kept talking. Friends understand or not understand. I didn't even ask. But, he seemed offended. 

I didn't want to offend her by discussing green bangles in this green season. However, I can't even cover the reality. We talk a lot about feminist philosophy. We talk about freedom and liberation. However, in practice we have not been able to convert even one percent of ourselves. When discussing bangles, I also see that some female friends are very aggressive and angry on social media for wearing bangles and mehndi and talking about women's rights. 

It is not necessary to give up anything to be a woman. There is no standard that a woman should wear this or that. Just, you have to feel yourself. This is what women's liberation is all about. How much do I have? Half, whole or some percent, or nothing at all? Are the decisions you make yours? From the clothes you wear to the food you eat in the evening-morning, is your financial investment? This is what every woman should realize. 

I have a sister who is closely related to me. I witnessed firsthand the extreme torture she suffered from domestic violence. The police station was raided several times with Nildam. What stopped her again, she went back and lived with her abusive husband. Once she even reached the court, to do the parpachuke. But even that time she was beaten and returned to her husband's house. When sister asked what stopped you, she said, "Where should I go after leaving this house?" Who cares for me? Who gives this respect?' The wonder is, in Janu's house she lives, she has neither respect nor love in that house. However, today's women's liberation seemed to be wrapped up in shelter, wealth and greed, as that sister said. 

According to Acharya Prashant, who is becoming very popular among the younger generation, some percentage of the patriarchal society is to blame for women not being independent, and women themselves are equally guilty. As he said, when women themselves realize liberation, wearing bangles or not does not become the main issue. Every act done consciously is celebrated and considered meaningful.
