LIVING UNDER THE SHADOW - A PRESCRIPTION FOR DEATH
Shadow gives us protection or shelter from external danger. In India, women before their marriage live under the shadow of their fathers. After marriage, women are expected to live under the shadow of their husbands. Indian Tradition demands that a married woman should be subjected to live under the influence or domination of her husband. Very often, women love to bask under the glory of the position, the status, and the power wielded by their husbands. But, living under shadow should not endanger the very existence of the individual who is seeking the protection. Sunflowers bloom and thrive only when exposed to full Sun. These plants cannot grow well under shade or shadow. Every individual has a Fundamental Right to exist. No individual should dominate or influence another individual to an extent that compromises the Right to Life. If you are in someone's shadow, you receive less attention and seem less important. A woman living under the shadow of her husband may not act on her own even if her life is at a great risk. Indian Traditions stood in the way of the battle for life in an unfortunate story which I had witnessed in 1978.
