...Came here through Desipundit. Wonderful writing.<br /><br />ladka ladki raazi to kya karega kaazi? Everyone should just shut their mouths and give their blessings or wishes to the newly wedded couple.<br /><br />Both of them made a decision to stay in Dubai. So, they probably know what kind of society they will get into if they go to Pak.<br /><br />You forgot to add that the girl should treat her husband as GOD and fulfill his every wish.<br /><br />I once attended a kalyana utsavam at a temple and the priest was saying that the groom should be treated as "Maha Vishnu" by the bride and her family. I walked out of the function to the consternation of my folks. lol.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04259777504844608272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062233828175782338.post-13323377245126598442010-04-24T10:15:58.177-04:002010-04-24T10:15:58.177-04:00Brilliant Post,very well said...Brilliant Post,very well said...Shweta Singhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062233828175782338.post-34936055541780756272010-04-19T02:23:52.912-04:002010-04-19T02:23:52.912-04:00wonderfully well drafted!

But did they have a choice? Anyway, Sania probably earns a lot more money than her parents ever did and so the patriarch has limited control.

Just as there is suppression of male children by parents, suppression of the poor classes by the rich etc. But the story of an affluent and famous female sports person (who had the freedom to choose her partner and then break off her engagement when she found a better partner) living in one of the biggest cities of India does not hold a mirror to any of those issues. <br /><br />Sania's marriage issue is so huge in India only because the groom in question belongs to a country that has been sending ppl to massacre citizens and burn property in India. Currently India is struggling to get Pakistan's help to curb terrorism. The frustration against Pakistan's non-cooperation is showing up everywhere including in the Sania-Shoaib issue. <br /><br />I'm not saying that marriages should be affected by political relations between nations, just trying to bring to light the source of angry views. People from Pakistan don't have these reasons to denounce the marriage, so they are celebrating.Rahulhttp://www.twitter.com/rahulacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062233828175782338.post-23804701953647160332010-04-16T00:13:35.071-04:002010-04-16T00:13:35.071-04:00Lol @ Anonymous!!

At least you agree there is female suppression in Indian society. If you don't want to link the two it's your choice. But give this point a thought--why have Pakistanis been celebrating, while Indians hurling abuses?

Even you will agree that the same issue would not have risen if it was a groom from UAE, Indonesia or even Africa. Pakistan is a touchy subject(with good reason) and even if a male sportsperson were carrying out this step there would be a backlash of a similar manner.Rahulhttp://www.twitter.com/rahulacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062233828175782338.post-73983103192501049992010-04-15T17:51:58.121-04:002010-04-15T17:51:58.121-04:00Great post, well said.Great post, well said.Madhavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055110355159071668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062233828175782338.post-63177048222996377362010-04-14T02:36:01.423-04:002010-04-14T02:36:01.423-04:00Oh man! :) really hard-hitting ;) Great stuff :DOh man! :) really hard-hitting ;) Great stuff :DRachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791351711056663599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062233828175782338.post-82379156528459152462010-04-14T00:40:17.177-04:002010-04-14T00:40:17.177-04:00great article..great article..Kshitij Pandeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15127729719312593772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3062233828175782338.post-55002157571303495562010-04-13T11:31:37.580-04:002010-04-13T11:31:37.580-04:00@Sangeeta: Thanks a lot!
