I always admired Bhagat Singh . If you think he used violence to try to get indias freedom and lost his life in the process thats just part of the story .
He was a young man with real guts and a vision and opinion which we dont find even in 60 year olds . He was in his early 20s and he had clear ideas about so many things including about religion , society etc . But this internet historian was shocked when he even had an opinion on marriage .
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/bhagat-singh-had-called-marriage-without-equality-a-legal-form-of-prostitution/425051-3.html
On death row he had wrote a 400 + diary and in it he had wrote on so many things and one of them is about marriage "without equality " being a legal form of prostitution .Coming to think of it wasnt this young man right even in this .Havent you seen marriages where the woman in the family is doing the role of a maid and called a wife and the husband who is chosen for his financial capacity maintains her as the domestic help cum babysitter .
When our soceity even to this day condemns the poor prostitutes who sell themselves for surviving ,the double standards are evident when many of marriages are financial transactions in the name of love . Son -in laws who get bought with a huge dowry , daughters who get physically abused and made to work in kitchen , loveless marriages which are sometimes existent because the monetary benefit keeps them going all make you think . And decades after bhagat singhs death in soceity at least in contemporary kerala these things are still existent .
Career satisfaction and marital satisfaction are two things which we cant know from outside as you all will agree . . And as soceity let us promote healthy marriages instead of what bhagat singh in his 20s talked about ...
PS : With economic freedom of women things are definitely seeing a sea change (i hope ) but still considering the lakhs and crores involved in modern marriages i still think theres some relevance for the article in ibnlive .
