'Hindu Nationalist' And His Estranged Wife

The pretty Jashodaben in happier times

What is the issue behind Feku's newly discovered marital status? Is it really shocking that he never confessed? Or is that he was ashamed (for whatever) reasons to take the burden of his wife?

Closely looking, neither of them...

BJP has always showed that they carry the flag of Hindutva on their shoulders. They are the thekedaars of this religion. Even Feku boldly declared that he is a "hindu nationalist". Well if this is the case then what they did, will you call it "following the tradition"?

If they know anything about Hindutva, the first thing they should know is that in this religion wives have been given the position of parallel Goddess! Look at Shiv-Parvati, Krishna-Radha, Laxmi-Ganesh, Ram-Sita etc. In fact some of the God's have to be remembered along with their wives. This is the respect we give to wives.

But what Feku did was unacceptable. Consider the following arguments:

1. Lets say he was married at a very early age. (Child marriage is a crime but still). When he grew up, he wanted to become a 'Sangh Pracharak' and decides that he doesn't want a wife. Absurd but still accepted. Why didn't he accept her back after making a mark in RSS and/or politics. Does every Pracharak remains unmarried?

2. Lets suppose he was ashamed and didn't want to declare anything. He was interested in snooping girls though. Why did Jashodaben has to live in such dire conditions? Couldn't he provide her with suitable accommodation? Monthly remuneration could have been given. Feku's bank balance never went down for this purpose.

3. Now that he has declared in front of the world, why can't he take her with him? Was is just to show the world? Jashodaben has been very kind enough to pray for him but does Feku deserve all this? Is this was a staunch Hindu follows?

These questions won't be answered ever. Maybe Jashodaben will never set a foot in Feku's house. Maybe she won't be heard of ever. Maybe everything will end up as a Suraj Barjatiya movie...

But one cannot neglect the fact that the pain Jashodaben had to go through in her life, will never let Feku live peacefully...
