The single Indian man would like to counter and challenge the feminist narrative about Indian women being objectified, meaning they are looked upon from their skin colour, looks and body shapes. But what about the Indian man. Is he not being treated as a commodity who comes with a price tag? Please find my reasoning in the below write up.
No other society has judged, labelled and priced its men like the Indian society, An Indian man is nothing but a sum total of his education, job designation, monthly salary, vehicle and property ownership. Rest does not matter. His character, morals behaviour and many other individual traits hold no importance.
The society treats an Indian man as a commodity put for display on a shelf.His job and salary decide his price tag and worth in the society. It is this very feature that makes him eligible in the marriage market.
For me, now a veteran MGTOW who gave up dreams on marriage a long time ago such things hardly matter.But I feel sorry for men who are looking out for a suitable life partner for marriage. Because they don't meet the required criteria they keep on getting rejected. Even the average Indian women who other wise have no significant achievements reject these men.
The commodification process of the Indian man starts right from his childhood, the day he was born.Good marks and grades in school, results of SSC and HSC, performance in entrance examinations, admission in good colleges, campus placements, packages and a lot more goes in the making up of a good Indian man.
The society complains of the social evil called dowry. But aren't the Indian women equally responsible for it? Just look around, they all want well settled men who can take care of them and for that the girls parents are willing to go to any extent in paying a hefty dowry and financing a big fat Indian wedding. The truth is that the Indian men are bought at a price. This is the real commodification, the men come with a price tag.
The more successful the man is, the greater is his price tag in the marriage market.
Commodification of the Indian man has been existing from a long time. However in the last two decades it has reached magnanimous proportions. People often complain on the rising cases on divorces and breakdown in the family system but no one speaks on this evil of commodification. How can a marriage last when materialism and money take precedence over values, personality and behaviour. Does money and property decide long term compatibility?
This is Bhaveen Sheth signing off for the day and promise to be back with a lot more.
