Gori mourned the death of her husband in KAA

Hi,

In “Karam Apna Apna” Shiv was murdered, cremated according to Hindu customs and his ashes were collected and put away in a clay pot. Gori mourned the death of her husband and the horrific graphic details of the ritual were shown in the KAA serial last week in the UK.

Whoever watched the serial must agree with me that Gori did not mourn like humans mourn humans but was made to yell and shriek like a mad animal over the pot of her husband’s ashes, while men of the family lounged around and listened to Gori’s “Dohai” in cold blood. To inflict such a barbarism on a woman, film or no film, custom or no custom, is a hideous act of humiliation for a woman to perform in the century we live in today. Chill ran down our spines watching it. I would say, why not men be huddled up in a room and made to bark and howl like mad dogs over the pot of ashes of their loved one and let their women sit around and watch them.

Gori did a good job of the “Maatam”, no doubt.

Muslims mourn their dead ones more or less with the same gravity and women are not allowed to pray Janaza; because Janaza, Eid and Masjids are men’s only clubs and women must not join. It’s nowhere written in Quran and prophet Mohammad didn’t say it, then who made the rule?

Outpouring of emotions and grief on the loss of a loved one is natural; however, the intensity with which it was shown in KAA serial is out of ordinary. Such an archaic style of “Maatam” does not fit in the global society we live in today and must be discouraged. Indian filmmakers to large extent are the guardians of the Indian society but the films they make rarely reflect that society. Instead of downplaying the ritual they promoted it to its full glory and I am sure, they enjoyed every minute of it. I despair.

I feel like closing my books on StarPlus, it has crossed my mind several times; but It is strange I still carry on watching it hoping that my favourite serial will come one day “aur meray sub shikway khatam ho jainy gay”. I am getting ancient by the day waiting for it.

Salam Namastay
