Illicit Love Affairs

Muslim Murasu, January 2013

Urbanization has facilitated interaction between opposite sexes. It has led to a situation of deteriorating Tamil culture, chastity and sexual discipline. The scourge of indiscriminate, inter-caste marriages should not be allowed any further. Only physical glamor takes centre stage here. Tamil films, dance moves, education system, political aggressions and excesses enable mingling and mixing of adolescent boys and girls. Not a single marriage in Tamilnadu has taken place on the basis of bride’s intellectual acuteness, spiritual strength, scientific outlook, memory power, revolutionary and reformative ideas. Love rides on the back of breast attraction, corner-of-the-eye looks, sartorial displays, physical curves and makeup tools. Future growth, education, higher post, post-graduation, perpetual seeking of knowledge, all become prey to illicit affairs. Family planning policy was introduced in Tamilnadu in the seventies. One girl child is enough. Otherwise marriage will gobble up a lot of money. It will not be possible to get them married. Love affairs started in this background. Because parents limited the number of children, they had to put up with the reckless behavior of their offspring. There was no one to monitor and control.
Globalization anchored materialistic, atheist mindset. Savor youth, beauty and adolescence. Take advantage of contraceptives. A fake family picture was painted. 45 years back, an international exhibition was organized in the capital city of Tamilnadu. Upper-class, modern fashion counter ensued. Improper dresses were first introduced to Tamilnadu. Conservative Tamil society was ravaged. Atheist politicians who came to power decimated chastity further. Cinema politics came handy. As a tragic consequence, today forty percent Tamilians are wearing obscene dresses in the name of development. Flirting with girls in private has become common. The recent love affair tragedy came with the backdrop of violent politics. Competition between Scheduled Class Tamilians and Most Backward Tamilians, their political arrogance, misuse of power were in display. Who is going to swallow Tamilnadu wholesale. That is the current debate. Reservations can lead to anarchy. The trend of stalking and chasing and loving girls going for education should be analyzed with multiple backgrounds in mind.
