Fabulous post from Roy Daniels and taken from his status page -- patents included. However, as I pointed out Hema Malini is not even a Hindu after her marriage fo Garam-Dharam and had no right to make such parochial statements. The stupid actor left her precious Chennai to work in a Punjabi Studio in a Marathi city; that should have given her enough of a cosmopolitan spirit but no, she gets elected and makes foolish blanket statements..Here is Danielstake on it... The Thackerays didnt want Uttar Pradesh auto drivers in Mumbai, and the BJP does not want Bengali widows in Mathura. Whose India is it anyway? But, if all the widows in Mathura looked like Lisa Ray does in Water, where she plays a much bedded child wife turned Varanasi widow, I doubt if Hema Malini, the MP who poses in an advertisement holding up a glass of water, pronouncing the manufacturer’s name in a very South Indian accent, saying “Kent ka pani shud hai”, would have a problem. Word has it that Modi Sarkar will feature her doing a similar number when the Ganga is finally clean, “Ganga ka pani, ab ke baar, shud hai.” Most of these widows are from Bengal. The Vrindavan Municipality’s survey of 2006 puts their number at 3105, double that if you include the adjoining areas, but Hema Malini says there are now 40,000. It’s a seasonal thing too. Like there are more prisoners in Tihar Jail in winter, there are more widows in Mathura in the profitable winter tourist season. In a study titled Spirituality, Poverty, Charity, Brings Widows to Vrindavan, by the Guild of Service, a widow said: We cannot beg in our villages but we have no shame in seeking alms in the holy city. I don’t see the problem, numerous people beg for votes in Mathura and in other holy cities, and quite shamelessness don’t deliver on promises. Giving alms to widows is a tradition here. Batta batti, and a widow revealed, that one glorious winter, “she received five blankets and three shawls. She did not need so many, so she sold them to shops that buy back goods. Bengali women are used to parboiled rice, so the finer quality rice, distributed by bhajan ashrams, is sold and in its place they buy the cheaper rice that they are used to.” The main reason Hema Malini should not be complaining, is that traditions in India of looking down on widows, or prohibiting widow remarriage, is what got them out of their homes and brought them to Vrindavan in the first place. The practice that got them to leave Bengal, cannot be used to beat them when they have finally arrived in Lord Krishna’s birthplace, and one of Hinduism’s great cities. Thats the connection Ms Malini, if Bengal is Hindu, Vrindavan is even more greatly Hindu, the widow should be commended, she just graduated in religiosity. Most importantly, you can’t stand in a leper colony and shout, LEPERS GO HOME, when you have a culture that throws them out of their homes at the first sign of leprosy… The Thackerays didnt want Uttar Pradesh auto drivers in Mumbai, and the BJP does not want Bengali widows in Mathura.
