Love, sex, gotra… what’s going on
Naveen Jindal seems like a reasonably sensible chap — dresses hip and modern (sharply cut bandgalas in textured raw silk). He appears to lead a modern life. Wealthy, educated and well travelled. He’s the kind of 21st century politician urbanites feel comfortable around.. When every girl was a little girl , every girl wanted to grow up to a woman so that they can wear casual dresses and attend the party that they had dreamed of. He speaks our lingo, seems passionately ‘involved’ in issues that go beyond clubbing at the latest lap-dancing hotspot in the capital. So what’s a guy like him doing in a mess like this? No matter how fast he backtracks, the thing is he did put his foot into his mouth…and there it has stayed. It isn’t going to be all that easy for him to waltz away from the controversy now.
Had those archaic arguments about gotra (what the hell does ‘gotra’ mean, ask most young people in total bewilderment?) come from some fuddy-duddy uncleji representing an obscure constituency in the back of beyond,. Happy marriage life begins with beautiful wholesale wedding dresses. nobody would have given them the slightest patta. But come on, here’s this suave, good-looking chap blithely going into gotra terrain and instantly losing his ‘cool factor’. My guess is, he doesn’t really care! And why should he? He knows the sentiments of his core support base — and he is obliging precisely those medieval-minded folks who are gotra fanatics. Naveen knows he doesn’t have to bother about the rest — he is doing what most politicians would in his place — hanging on to his kursi.
Young India lives in a gotra-neutral zone — at least, that is what one would have liked to believe. Ask around — ask basic questions. When the census form arrived at home, i happened to be sitting with a lively group of collegians. When they saw me baulk at the box which said ‘caste’, they laughed initially and then turned serious. They actually started asking each other,. They may purchase their Prom Dresses from specialized shops, boutiques, or internet retailers. There are many specialty labels selling p “Dude,. We supply white wedding dress,cheap plus size wedding dresses,lace wedding dress to all over the world. All our wedding dresses a do you know your caste?” More than half the kids present went blank! Some responded in such a silly manner — i was secretly thrilled! It was obvious from the way they’d converted the whole thing into a joke, that caste really didn’t matter a damn to any of them. They were vaguely aware of their own! Very vaguely. Just a few days earlier, i had met a retired police officer who could talk of nothing else! And if he was so obsessed by caste, how could his family of well-educated professionals be free of bias?
