The broad generalizations be damned.
Instead of finger-pointing the individuals, or groups (as in MIL, DIL, husbands, sons, etc), we should be looking at the system!, Not just the current state, how much it has sustained and changed over-the-years!
Let's understand the age-old chauvinistic structure, women are overtly dependent on men (father, husband and son)! As she grows old, she is possessive over her son. Heck, you get a car and you drive it for years, wouldn't you be possessive of that damn thing? Imagine that to be a son, after all, we have seen numerous thamizh films which rides/dwells on this sentiment, " flesh taken out of her womb". Just in case it sounded funny, wipe that smirk off. I'm serious. You can imagine the years of pain, effort, love and grooming has gone through. Why would she feel 'insecure' about another woman entering into her household? She's worried about being ignored. It's quite natural. Now the question is, the psyche, How would you prevent that 'sense of seclusion', fear, detachment, etc?
அதெ விட்டுட்டு :oops:
Now don't get me wrong, It's dependent on the entities (MIL, DIL, son/husband) but wouldn't it be much easier, had it been without this dependency on men and the closely-knit structure of Indian families surely doesn't help, do they?
Not all women are at fault, just like how all men aren't. Let's change our MCP-induced-structure first.
Makes good sense!

Sorry, Lambretta! It my entry for a essay competition held by a local vernacular daily for the 60th Independence Day exclusively for ladies, the topic, 'Have we obtained independence'. I failed to make it to the list of 10 winners! :cry3: So I sought some solace in posting it here since it is sure to be read by some! I am too bored with the result to give a translation at present!
Today I have started reading Michael Crichton's 'Next'. Nowadays I am very busy playing hostess to expected & unexpected guests, so it might be weeks before I finish reading it. As usual some casual observations of English novelists on present day trends make me pause & reflect over it with a sad heart. A sample from the first chapter:
"Here he was, alone in this damn city, with more beautiful women per square foot than he had ever seen in his life. True, they were plastic, lots of surgery, but they were also sexy as hell."
