India is a country that has existed for thousands of years. For what it is worth, family units are recorded in our old texts which could be dated back to thousand of years, and it wouldn't be out of place to consider that families existed in society before such dates. The concept of families in a society has served much purpose for advancement of human beings as a species, and advancement as the society itself, of which the families were a part of. Norms were laid down so as to avoid inbreeding, so a healthy, diverse gene pool could be had. Well, given it was way back then, it was also quite normative to see Alpha and Omega pairings. While it may make one to shrink a little, thinking of it, as it is considered unfashionable somewhat to fix a pair so to speak, but yes, Alpha and Omega pairings do happen. Family units in a society also provided a steady number of people, which was a requirement in days of no vaccinations, and some odd disease will wipe out entire populations. A lot of scientific and cultural advancements were made in a time of stability, so much so that there were rather advanced cities which were well planned. Indus valley civilisation comes to mind, where they had planned cities with well thought out sewerage, which let us be honest, we are having problem with these days. Well, modern city planning perhaps is a topic for another day. Let me suggest that the idea of a family unit, it is one that has been time-tested, and proven its merit.
Families though, can only survive and flourish when people who form the units come together, and work together. Of course there were guidelines in the past, "till death do us apart," something that is quite out of fashion. Well, given the divorce rates are hitting 30%, if not exceeding it in parts of India, one may not be entirely incorrect when suggesting that concept of families, has outlived its usefulness. Modern families are under a lot of stress, but let us go to whatever comes before a marriage/ live-in, as we need to understand our environment. In modern times, we have come to expect quick fixes for everything, for what it is worth, it is not misplaced when one says we are spoiled for choices, life's easy and good. Do pardon the lack of devnagari fonts here, but the idiom "ati sarvatra varjayet" comes to mind. In the modern times, instant everything has spoiled us that little bit which we could have done without, but that is my opinion. 2 minute noodles, thousands of tv channels which you flick through, well, choice is great, but do we understand that there are things which need more work. Erm, I guess a lot of Indians do understand this principle when it comes to one thing at the least, a career. Most of us, slave away most of our youth, trying to build a better tomorrow. Similarly, in life marriage/ relationship was something that you worked at, trying to improve what was an important bit in your life. This is where the lack of perseverance may be showing in the ever increasing rates of divorces. There are always going to be differences, of opinions and so on, but a lot of work goes in making things stick.
Economics can also be a big factor in relationships not blooming, and infact in breakdowns of one for that matter. Modern life has brought many advancements, and it is not incorrect to say that life's better than ever as a species. Then again, there are severe pressures on relationships in modern life, least of which is "keeping up with the Jones'" In some western countries with the population that is limited, the nation is indeed able to take care of the minority that is economically backwards. It is not that much that an individual gets, but it is enough for subsistence, giving them an opportunity to better their lot. In a country like India, the problem is several magnitudes higher. You spend all your life being educated, training to better fit a job description, which will help you improve your life, and those you hold dear. A lot of marriages are breaking apart now that there are financial incentives to stop being married. Ahem, divorce laws stipulate that a woman now can claim 50% of a man's entire worth. This includes any ancestral property or 50% of an estimated share of the property. Technically speaking, the laws can render parents of a man homeless in effect, and yes, women in India are starting to sue for such and in a country where homelessness for elderly is a genuine problem. Mind, in most modern countries, the law stipulates that a spouse which was dependent, could claim 50% of assets built during the marriage. A lot of places also have provisions where alimony is not provided for, if and when the dependent spouse is the one who cheats, walks away for another relationship etc. So such laws, advocated by some who have vested interests are also enabling breaking down the family life in India. Laws like this, and more are being pushed by NGO's funded by interests out of India itself.
A lot of politicking is happening, in the background, by various vested interests whose main aim is to breakdown India, and it cannot be done without breaking down/ dissolving the identity of India and what makes India tick. As mentioned earlier, in India, you already had much advanced civilisations thousands of years ago, and societies cannot advance without a stable civil structure. This momentum of changing laws, or providing for laws which actually make family life difficult and increasingly so, in the modern times in modern India, is being spearheaded by Communists, ideologues such as feminists and other useful idiots. Useful idiots, sigh, like Ms. Padukone/ Vogue India who are promoting adultery and so on, with their advertisements. All this will do, is fuel the divorce rate. Sure, while the law restricts adultery, the adults who want to indulge in it, they will indeed do so. Well, i'm not a prude who will suggest that people be monogamous, no matter however much evolved, we are after all animals. However, I guess, I do feel that families should be encouraged by the government to exist, to thrive, rather than incentivising breaking down the family unit.
India right now is heading towards the dysfunctional family structure, where everyone suffers except ones who're breaking the unit. While at the same time, owing to economic pressures, a lot of families in West, are starting to move towards a joint structure as they used to previously, and some in India still do. Well, we did have a joint family structure till mid 1900's. We are moving further and further away from our roots, while people in the West realise that living in larger families is good both socially and economically. While the crazy feminists, nay Feminazis in the West have been lobbying for laws which has resulted in a lot of men shying away from marriage, the laws in India lobbied by domestic Feminazis/ Fembots are even more constricting. What this has led to in the West is the negative growth rate of population, meaning more people are dying than there are ones being born. A lot of those nations at the time, they opened doors to immigrants, to sustain their economies and keep the population growth rate at an even keel, or even slightly positive. However, that came not without its dangers. There are a lot of nations in the West, where ethnic populations are coming under the threat of becoming a minority. I kid you not, the factory of White, UK, White people are becoming a minority in town centers. Ahem, in France, Sarkozy was promoting racial interbreeding(link after the paragraph), and even went to the extent of suggesting that people better take to it, or the government may legislate it to be so. While one may say "what goes around," but i'd suggest that it is a cautionary tale to watch out for communists and their ilk, and other enemies of the state who try to dilute the identities of all of us. While some may think "oh, it is not us, we know better and we are better organised," but for communism, you will merely be another piece of meat which will be sustained only as long as you are useful. Your race, gender, religion, caste, colour, creed, it all matters not, for they will come for you soonish enough, that is once they get their act going. The overlords who are transitioning the west to become an identity less blob, will come for us too. My sympathies are with those whose identities are being squashed. Bloody hell, this is the country of Voltaire, where this cheese eating surrender monkey is obliterating the identities of the entire lot. I want the French to fight for their identity, fight for everything that France and French have contributed to the world.
You may ask why indulge in such lunatic acts, which take several generations, centuries to accomplish? Well, previously, you could do this via wars and change demography of a region pretty much in a handful of years, if not quicker. However, with the advent of nuclear, chemical, biological weapons, nations don't want to openly fight each other, at the least their equals. Subversion is a technique which has been in use for thousands of years, and here we have cultural and societal subversion, followed by perversion, where the winners take all. What can you do? It is simple, remember who you're, that is an Indian. Remember your cultural heritage, which contrary to what the Congress government wanted to teach us, goes back several thousands of years. Do everything that you want to do to protect your identity as an individuals, as individuals make a society, a nation.
There is a lot more to add to this, and it will be nice, if you readers will add pointers that you want me to talk about, and we can take it further. Thank you for your time reading the long, long posts. I know that some of it is uncomfortable, but not all truths are comfortable/ palatable. Truth, it is just that, truth. Either you're ready for it, or you need more time, but that doesn't change the truth, or that which it represents.
