"I
would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one
touch of her hand, than eternity without it."--Seth (Nicolas Cage), City
of Angels
Awww…so
romantic and this usually takes place before the couple get hitched. The
portrayal of deep in love emotions and ready to bring the stars for each other attitude,
soon after marriage vanishes & they are on each others’ nerves which
attracts problems unlimited and even the pettiest matter is blown out of
proportion. Marriage is not only the unison of the couple but also of the two
families. I agree love should never be based on caste, creed, religion, colour,
race, status, etc. Love should always be unconditional.
But
after all we are Indians and Indian mentality is always present at the back of
our minds. Have we seen how pirated
things work? They are good in the beginning and after sometime they don’t work
at all because the make is poor. Similarly, no matter how hard we try to copy
western culture but at the end of the day we are people who knowingly –
unknowingly, consciously – unconsciously follow the Indian approach towards
marriage.
India
proudly speaks about its rich and varied heritage.
Now
what does that mean???? We cling a lot to the things of the past, yes,
including me…..without a doubt.
To show a lot of liberal attitude and broad minded
outlook in the current modern age scenario, everyone will vote for
inter-religion marriage but when it comes to your child / your sister-brother /
any of your loved one, there are many who will follow “THE RICH HERITAGE” and
hesitate on their stand.
A
few reasons as to why Inter-religion marriage is still a taboo in India:
1)
Ruining
of Family Status
2)
Hard
to accept a new religion
3)
Letting
off the Age old strong traditions
4)
Difficulty
to adjust and be flexible with the moving world
5)
Confusion
of the faith follow
I
personally have no qualms for inter-religion marriages since it is gearing up
in our country though slowly but gradually. Even the graphs of the success rate
of such marriages have comparatively increased. The primary problem is the
mind-set. The willingness to accept another religion after more than 20 years
of faith formation is a big step for which one needs to be fully prepared.
Inter-religion
marriages sounds really exciting, there is an exchange of cultures, festival
celebrations, sense of respect develops for each other’s religion and, what
better platform to express unity in diversity to our family members as well as
to country men???
Let
the world know that religion is simply following traditions and myths. There is
just One God and One Religion – i.e. LOVE.
