Dealing with double standards (part 1)...
Hello everyone. I don't know about other countries but living in India we always come across many double standards. Be it family or friends. Double standards in India has become a deadly disease and needs to be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible otherwise it will finish the future of our country.So, today I have picked up Mahakaali and I will try to illustrate this mythological tale in an entirely different way so that I can help those who are suffering from double standards.
I'm pretty interested in all the mythological stories and I'm always curious to know more and more about them. So, I started watching Mahakaali and I went through all the episodes which have been released. All episodes show a lot of supernatural powers. Mahakaali is seen flying in air, killing all evil people, throwing fire out of her mouth. All this looks very fancy and this is unbelievable for me.
When I discussed it randomly with a few people, their explanations and thoughts of everything shown in the episodes were very contrasting from my thoughts and explanations. I leave it to you to decide who is right and who is wrong.
In almost every episode it seen that Shiva never stops Mahakaali from taking her decisions on her own. He never even interfere. He may give some tips but the final decision of her life is taken by her and Shiva always supports her in every decision with utmost grace. So according to this, what we get is that women have the right to take their decisions on their own. Not even the husband, who according to Hinduism is given title of 'parmeshwar' has the right to manipulate her, or impose his decisions on her. But the reply I received was stunning. The person said "vo Mahakaali hai, she can do anything".
As far I think, my brain keeps on saying that every human being has the right to make mistakes and learn from them, but according to the followers and worshipers of Mahakaali, this basic human right is only for Mahakaali. Normal humans, specially ladies can't decide for them because if they decide, they make mistakes, which may be harmful for them. So, you worship and follow Mahakaali but you refuse to learn her teachings. Double standards proved ๐.
Next thing is the black skin. I have witnessed people disrespecting and laughing on the black skin possessed by their fellow humans. But, when it comes to Mahakaali, you worship her and embrace her in her black skin. Your don't disrespect her on being black and you don't make fun of her color, kyuki devi hai vo. She has the right to enjoy dignity irrespective of her color. But normal humans don't have this right. Here you will worship a black lady but you will laugh on the black person who walked past you. You worship her but you refuse to respect people who have got the same skin tone. Double standards proved again๐.
She is trying to teach many things which can make our life more beautiful. If you really want to worship her then instead of offering her flowers in the temple try to get the meaning of her actions and follow them. This will be the real gesture of respect towards her. Most important lesson she gives is equality of men and women in every field. Female soldiers of India fought a battle to get the right to fight on the war fronts but in our ancient tales this lady, Mahakaali was a well versed fighter who took part in many battles and no one stopped her from doing so. Our elders worship her but ask their daughters to speak in a low voice whereas in this serial Mahakaali is seen shouting out loudly.
You believe the scenes in which she throws fire out of her mouth, you believe the scenes where she miraculously changes her forms and showcase her supernatural powers. But you don't believe her when she says that she is doing everything to set example for humans. When the time to follow her comes, you refuse by saying "devi hai vo". Double standards proved again๐.
If you trust someone then trust completely. This partial trust and partial distrust will lead you nowhere and you will end up as a double standard, narrow minded rat.Indian mythology is beautiful only if you understand it completely, and it can change your life for good.
Give some rest to the grammar police that resides inside you and ignore mistakes. Thanks for reading๐
