Every single Indian man reading this
will agree with the above heading. It does not matter if you have never married
or you are divorcee or even a widower. Being single is considered to be a crime
as per the norms of the Indian society.
No one likes us and no one wants us.
We, the single Indian men are by default treated as outcasts.
So I try to analyze and write down
on reasons why we are hated by the society.
We are considered to be threats to
the existing social structure. Yes, it is true. Look around; every man who
completes his education and gets a job is married as soon as possible. Have you
ever seen an Indian man who is successful on the professional front and is not
willing to get married? NOPE!!!! The very word of marriage makes the Indian man
salivate like a street dog. It is a custom that every man has to follow by hook
or crook. Not doing the same is considered that you are a rebel or an
insurrectionist who happens to challenge the very foundation of the Indian
society i.e. marriage.
Bringing dishonour to the family
name: If chastity and virginity of the Indian woman maintains the family honour
then marriage of an Indian man does the same. The Indian male who does not get
married dishonours his family name and legacy. He is hated and detested by his
own near and dear ones.
ABNROMAL: My dear single Indian male
friends!!!! Haven’t you heard jibes, criticisms, remarks aimed at you and your single
status. If the Indian society labels the single Indian woman as a slut, whore
or spinster, we the single Indian men are not spared either. We are considered
to be abnormal and we fall under the categories of GAY, RAPIST, PAEDOPHILE,
PERVERT, IMPOTENT, INCOMPETENT and many more designations that our peers allot
us.
Loss of business to the
materialistic marriage industry: My friends!!!! Have you ever been to a wedding
these days. You must be lucky if you have been called, considering the
apartheid system that is practiced by the Indian society against that single
people which clearly states at any social function “DOGS AND SINGLES NOT
ALLOWED”. So if you happen to make it an Indian wedding these days, just have a
look around. You will see a huge amount of money that is splurged for
unnecessary reasons. There has been wedding industry that has grown in the last
two decades, thanks to India’s economic liberalization and the rise in the purchasing
power of people. If market estimates are correct the marriage industy is worth
Rs 1000 crore. WOW!!!! And it also happens to be a recession proof industry ,
come what may. So now what happens when men decide that they want to remain
single???? We invite the wrath and ire of people related to the marriage industry.
If there will be no marriage, how will the industry sustain itself???
A threat to the jobs of feminists:
India is a nation that I believe harbours the most violent and toxic feminists
in the world. The women who are writers, activists, socialists, chairpersons of
various women’s organizations and NGO’s etc. Their work is only male bashing,
not a day goes by when you don’t see them create a mountain out of a mole hill.
So if an Indian man does not get married, there will be no problems at all.
There will no dowry harassment, no domestic violence, no marital rape, no
physical and emotional abuse of a woman in marriage, no divorce and no irretrievable
breakdown of marriage. It clearly means that there will be no work for the
feminists. So marriage is a must for all dramas to take place in order to keep
our Indian feminists occupied.
Envy to the married Indian man: They
say that a woman can be a woman’s worst enemy; the same applies to men and that
to the married Indian men. You see, these married men are not happy to see us
live a happy single life. After all we are living our lives and they are not.
Their story is different; they were married in their mid or late 20’s to the
beautiful or not so beautiful Indian wife. While their initial years had been bliss,
they have now settled for a routine mediocre life. They are not able to do a
lot of things that they desire. The burden of financial and social
responsibilities is being shouldered by them. And when they see us happy, they
get jealous. They can’t tolerate us because we remind them about freedom, about
independence, about pursuing ones dream and passion which they can’t. They have
become the prisoner of the Indian marriage system; they are now at the mercy of
their wives who hold them on a leash. The married Indian men cannot pursue their
career with the zest and passion that we the single Indian men do nor can they
travel to places that we go to. So how do they take their revenge??? They taunt
and sideline us!!! They criticise us of being an impotent. They question of
manliness of not being able to have a woman in our lives.
As I end this blogpost, I would
state that there would many reasons on why the Indian society detests the
single Indian man. They above mentioned reasons are common that we come across.
But whatever it may be please don’t lose heart and feel sad. When you chart
your own course of life you will often come across people who will put you
down, so please don’t mind them because they have no mind of their own.
Go ahead and live your single life and prove to
the world that there happiness in a solo
