When we come across two people of different age- groups,
it’s likely of them to differ in opinions. Their parameter of understanding is
always under skepticism- whether one would comprehend the opinion of the other
or would completely dissent with the matter.
To attain the consent of both parties, it’s vital to
have an amicable relationship between the two. It’s indispensable that both
parties share their opinions with empathy towards each other.
In our society, still there are many homes where a
child is hesitant to share his/her views with the parents. Still, there are
many people who are confined to the boundaries of caste, creed, and religion. Often,
it is being observed that this bogey has been put up with not for the love of
society but for the fear of society. We have been raised with moral of keeping
others happy. So, even in our personal matters, we consider the opinion where the
society should be happy.
In that case, when a child falls in love with someone
who doesn’t belong to the same caste, and parents would always told him/her that
he/she should be married to the one holding their patriarchal surname; it’s palpable
in apropos of the child to expect the obstinacy.
But, I have seen the parents changing their belief,
where they have got agree to embrace something which they were adhesively against
toward. At the end of the day, what matters the most for parents is the
happiness of their child. If the child is happy, parents have no qualms about
what the society believes in.
I have seen & I have learnt: no matter how many
times you have dissent with your parents, eventually they want you to live your
life happily.

ReplyDeleteThank you very much, dear Manjulika! :)
DeleteThat is true. I am the first one to marry out of caste in my family. I come from simple brahmin family, my grand father was a priest but my parents, including my grandmother had no problems with it. They wanted me to be happy.
