Even now a fundamental part of Hinduism does not accept women dancing in public. For ages a patriarchal section of society has been controlling women’s freedom and their will and they want to do so in the future but that is not possible at present.
I was standing at a place when suddenly I saw a procession of Hindu people going where several women were dancing and rejoicing.. Even among orthodox Hindus there are many Hindus who support Hindu fundamentalism who do not take well to this dance of girls. Now it’s a matter of culture or culture maybe no one wants to talk about it openly but I think if a girl dances open there is nothing good like bad and nothing like that so it’s pointless to discuss it. When a thought is formed in the heart of a person, whether it be happy or sad, then his desire to express it is called dancing. Just like if there is a tsunami under the sea then there is a huge wave that many people have to suffer because of that it is a natural cause but I don’t support tsunami because it is a disaster for human civilization but if a girl dances that is if she has any thoughts working in her heart and she wants to express them at least I don’t see anything wrong in that. Actually time is changing with time our society also has to adapt many things because of which maybe still our society is not progressing properly because in many castes I have seen that there are many restrictions on girls which should not be done. Earlier I also wrote an article on the issue of smoking among girls, before I say whether girls should smoke or not, I would like to say that smoking should be given up by both men and women because it is harmful to human health. But when a man smokes we are silent and when a woman does it we start shouting and saying that society is going downhill and we should get out of this mentality.
Once upon a time we used to see dance among high standard women in Hindu society now it has become normal among middle class and lower class also there is nothing wrong with it I have said this before. In fact, those who are always practicing what girls should do, what clothes they should wear, what clothes they should not wear, have their own character problems. The constitution of this country has given rights to both men and women, everyone has the right to live their own life, so if anyone in this society considers himself a contractor, it is inappropriate and those who have such a mentality must be brought to light and punished. Society also has to change a lot with time just like Raja Rammohan Roy had to fight with upper class people of that time to stop sati immolation. Not only the practice of sati-dah but widow marriage many other practices have disappeared in the Hindu society which have no relevance to the society over time. Let’s say you build a pond and grow fish in it. You need to clean the pond from time to time. If you leave the pond unclean for a long period of time with visitors, decades or centuries, the water will reach the pond and create odors and it will also become toxic to the environment. Right, our society has to change from time to time. At one time, maybe people did not accept the daily life of their women properly, but the current time has changed, now people have learned to understand about their freedom, so if a person wants to impose his own rules on a woman, that woman must protest that she will not accept it. Let’s say I’m against women’s football but I play football myself and I enjoy international football matches but I’m totally against women’s football. Then the society will not accept me with time because what is not right now maybe after 100 years will the society accept it as right and you also have to accept it otherwise you have no right to live in the society.
I am giving all these examples only to show that those from India who do not support women’s dance or do not see it in the right light must learn something with time. The first thing is that no one has given you the responsibility to decide what people should wear or eat or how to live their lives, the constitution will decide and the constitution has given everyone the freedom to live their lives as they like, so you keep the rules you make to yourself, you have no right to impose them on others. If a person does not like women’s dancing then he should close his eyes or move away from it because society cannot function according to that person’s rules. There are many things in the society which are not compatible with my personal character, I don’t like them, but that’s why I have no right to go and tell them not to do these things, because I am not a contractor of the society. No one can deny that not only in India but all over the world let’s say that since creation lagna women have been oppressed the most so today if women want to live their own life there are still some bigots who want to impose various rules on them I am totally against it.
